Question

What if I already have a Balance Board connected, but want to replace it with a new one?

Community Answer

Press and hold the SYNC button for 15-20 seconds, then connect a new one. You must also re-connect all Wiimotes, as this unsyncs all devices.

Question

How do I calibrate my Wii Balance Board after it is synced?

Milos Tosic

Community Answer

The game will ask you to stand on the Wii Balance Board before actually using it, and then it will calibrate automatically.

Question

My Wii Fit balance board came with the disc but it reads error when I try to use it. How do I sync these?

Community Answer

Open the small flap on your Nintendo Wii console, and you should see a red button. Hold that down as well as the long grey button on the balance board. The red button should reset the controllers and start searching for one which will register your Wii Fit Balance Board.

Question

Do I need the disk to re-sync my Wii Fit board?

Community Answer

No, you do not. It should reset with a button on it like the regular controllers.

Question

What should I do if the light does not stay on?

Community Answer

This means you need to perform the sync process above. Just be sure a program is loaded and running that uses the board. If there is no program it will not sync.

Question

What if the blue light does not stop flashing?

Community Answer

You have to line it up with the console and open both doors and push the red buttons. Make sure the board and console are close to each other.

Call Nintendo (number is on the box). If that doesn't work, then take it back to the store.

Question

Why does my Wii balance board keeps saying to step off when not on it?

Charles Winkler

Community Answer

Call Nintendo, as this is not supposed to happen. There may be something wrong with your Balance Board. If this doesn't work, return it to where you got it.

Question

My balance board won't connect, what do I do?

Charles Winkler

Community Answer

If syncing doesn't work, try replacing the batteries. Even if they are brand new, you should still change them when you have this problem because the batteries may not be ideal. However, if this doesn't work, call Nintendo during their open hours (probably listed on the box), and if that doesn't work, return it to where you got it, and buy a new one.

Question

What do I do if my Wii Balance Board won't sync with my Wii?

Charles Winkler

Community Answer

Swap the batteries with new ones. Even if you just changed them, you should still do this because technology is stubborn. If that doesn't work, call Nintendo during open hours, and if that doesn't work, return it to where you got it and buy a new one.

Do I need to sync my Wii controller as well as the balance board?

Yes, you will need to, as the Wii remote(s) are required to play any games on your Wii.
