Nintendo Wii Remote Won’T Turn On Repair
Nintendo Wii Remote Won’t Turn On? Try These Troubleshooting Steps
Is your Nintendo Wii Remote refusing to turn on? Don’t worry, it’s a common issue that can be easily fixed. Before seeking professional help, try these simple troubleshooting steps to get your Wii Remote up and running again.
Check the Batteries
The first and most obvious step is to check the batteries. Make sure they are not dead or weak. Use a voltmeter to check the voltage of the batteries. A fully charged battery should read around 12.66 volts. If the reading is 12.45 volts or less, it’s time to replace or recharge the batteries.
Check the Battery Connection
If you’ve replaced or recharged the batteries and the remote still won’t turn on, check the battery connection. Ensure the batteries are properly aligned and the + and – symbols are facing the correct direction.
Check for Corrosion
Corrosion on the battery contacts can prevent the remote from turning on. Use a dry rag to gently brush off any corrosion or rust on the contacts.
Check the Power Button Connection
If the remote still won’t turn on, the power button connection might be the culprit. Open the remote’s cover plate and use a dry toothbrush to clean the power button contact. If the button is misaligned, use the Power Button Replacement Guide to realign it.
