Bought 2nd hand wii fit, have just loaded disc and replaced batteries in board but power light not staying on board, flashes for about 30 seconds and then switches off. Does it need to be synchronised with Wii?

Important Note!
Do Not use "One-Time Mode" sync.
Syncing can be completed only if a compatible game disc is running in the console.The Wii Balance Board may need to be synced to each compatible game individually.Some games may require you to go into a specific screen to sync the Wii Balance Board.These sync settings will be saved even after the console is turned off.
1. Insert a Wii Balance Board compatible game disc in the Wii console.2. Use the Wii Remote to select the Disc Channel from the Wii Menu, then select "Start" to begin the game.3. Open the SD Card slot cover on the front of the Wii console.4. Remove the Battery Cover on the bottom of the Wii Balance Board.
5. Press and release the SYNC button on the Wii Balance Board. The Power LED on the board will start blinking.
6. Press and release the SYNC button on the console while the Power LED on the board is still blinking.7. The Power LED will stop blinking and light steadily once the synchronization is complete.8. Replace the battery cover and return the board to the normal operating position.

Hi, thanks for using Fixya!

• Open the SD card slot on the nintendo wii, open the battery panel on the wii balance board.

• Press the two red sync buttons on the wii console and the balance board and hold for 3 seconds.

• The blue light on the back of the wii balance board should flash for 5-10 seconds and then stay blue.

• If this doesn't work then try changing the batteries and trying again.

If it still isn't connecting then the problem is something a proper nintendo expert will have to help fix.

Thanks, I hope I have been of assistance.

i have put in new batteries in my wii board and the lights turn off please help

In most cases, the wii fit will not stay on unless a wii fit compatible game is running and is asking you to turn on the wii fit board.

You may need to resync the wii fit board and wii. You'll have to press the red button on the wii (next to sd card slot) and red button on the balance board next to batteries.

Unplug the AC adapter from power cord then wait 10 min and plug it again.Open the SD Card slot cover on the front of the Wii console, just below the disc drive, and press and hold the red SYNC button for 15 seconds. This will clear all synced Wii Remotes from the console.Then push the red button again, then open the batteries cover on your
Wii Remote and push the red button there.After that push the red button on console one more time, then open the batteries cover on your Wii Fit and push red button there.If this not help may your wii fit need service.

I had the same one, sometimes when your on a one player thing, the second one just flickers.

Ensure batteries are fresh. Ensure that Wii Fit (or other Balance Board game) is started up completely before pressing the power button.
