Daughter put wii controllers in a cup of water, took them out right away, the buttons work but the sensor isnt working well

ok so u start to plug all the wires in the TV.theres a sensor that u need to put in middle of the tv.the sensor is like a rectangle and very lite its supposed to have a wire that has to be plugged in the wii not the TV.
after that its time for your controllers.you need to have at least one controller to play wii.you need to put two batteries at the back of the controller.then click the power button and you'll see the 4 lights light up,but then after seconds there supposed to be 1 light lit up.when your done than click the power button for the wii.for the controller to work u should turn on the wii before the controller.Then the easy part take the cd(game)and put it in the wii.

1. Make sure your Wii Remote syncs with the Wii upon pressing a button on startup. If it takes a while, you may want to get a new Wii Remote, or just press the button on the Wii. Oh, and, make sure the battery is on.

2. Can you actually use your Wii Remote? If you can't, you'll want to see above.
If you can,

3. I hear hacks can alter things, so make sure you don't have hacks, whether you put them on or someone planted them on you.

4. Lastly, make sure that the Wii Remote is facing towards the Wii or the Sensor Bar, as it doesn't do the backwards or far-away thing that PS3 and Xbox controllers can.

If those don't work, I recommend replacing it.
Or just pressing the Power button on the Wii.

Your sensor bar is messed up a replacement on ebay is less then $6. Your controllers arent the problems. Also do you have the sensor bar ontop or bottom of your tv? Theres a setting on the wii to change the sensor bar from top or bottom of the tv depending on where youve put it. 99% sure its a bad sensor bar though.

Hello there

Hold the Wii Remote upside-down with the buttons facing downward.

Tap the remote firmly against the palm of your hand three times to remove any dust sitting between the buttons and the electronic circuit board inside the remote.

Turn the remote upright and press one of the buttons. If the problem continues, Open your Wii Remote's battery door

Check that your Wii Remote contains two new "AA" batteries or a charged battery pack. Check that no corrosion is present on the battery's metal elements/connectors.

Use a cotton swab to clean the remote's battery element/connectors if corrosion is present.

Check that the Sensor Bar cable is inserted firmly into the back of your Wii gaming system. The Sensor Bar needs to be centered above or below your television so the Wii Remote can transmit signals to the gaming system.

Stand three feet away from the Wii gaming system/Sensor Bar.

Aim the remote and press any button to test the device.

If the remote is not working, stand five to 10 feet away from the gaming system and try the device. The Wii Remote works best three to 10 feet away from the gaming system/Sensor Bar.

Move any objects blocking the signal from the remote to the gaming system/Sensor bar--candles, other remote controls (TV/cable box) and wireless computer devices/cellular phones.

Also, if any sunlight is coming in through a window, close the curtains or blinds to keep the light from interfering with the remote's signal.

Turn off and unplug your Wii gaming system. Leave the unit unplugged for one minute. Plug the gaming system back in.

If the remote still aint working;

Turn the Wii system on. Press and hold the red "SYNC" button for 15 seconds when the "Health and Safety" screen appears on your television. The "SYNC" button is behind the small door on the front of your Wii unit.

Release the "SYNC" button. Remove the battery cover and batteries/battery pack from the back of your Wii Remote.


Press and release the red button located under the battery compartment. The blue lights on the front of the remote will blink

Press and release the "SYNC" button on the front of your Wii gaming system. The "Player" light on the gaming system stops blinking and stays on, the resetting process is complete

Have you tired resetting the AC adapter? If not, then try this:

1. Unplug/remove all accessories from the system (including game discs, SD Cards, memory cards, Nintendo GameCube controllers, hookup cables, the AC Adapter, and Sensor Bar) from the outlet and Wii.
2. Let the system rest for about 90 seconds. While you're waiting, check to see that controller cords, AC Adapter, and Stereo AV cables/Component Video cables are not frayed or have exposed wires (this can cause the system to shut off); if so, you should replace those parts.
3. After the 90 seconds, Plug the AC Adapter into the system and directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. Check to see if the power light on the Power button comes on.

unplug it for 10 - 15 mins it really works

open the battery cover on the wii remote you want to make player 1 press the red button while it is facing the sensor bar. Then open the memory card door on the front of the wii and press the red button on the top. the remote should flash a few times then it will be your new player 1 remote. You can only do this if you have 2 AA batteries in the remote. It will not work with the rechatgeable batterie packs because the remote must have power while you re-synch it.

Try dropping it again. Seriously. Inside the remote there is a very small 'gyro sensor' that can get stuck in one spot, basically all you have to do is jar it loose again.
I actually had this same thing happen a while ago, I called Nintendo customer support.
I was surprised. A very pleasant lady took my call within one minute of getting through the push-button maze to get to Wii Remote troubleshooting.
I explained what the problem was and what I had tried. She then asked me to check one more thing - the Wii Sensor - which checked out. Then the conversation went something like this:
Friendly Nintendo Help Desk Lady: "Okay - I want you to take the remote, button side down and smack it into the palm of your hand two or three times."
Me: "You've got to be kidding"
Friendly Nintendo Help Desk Lady: "No sir, do it hard enough that I can hear it across the phone line but not hard enough to damage the remote"
Me: "You're sure?"
Friendly Nintendo Help Desk Lady: "Yes, sir."
So, button-side down, the funky Wii remote got smacked in the palm of my hand three times....
...and the thing worked!

press the red button under the front door then press the button under the battery compartment of the remote.
good luck
