I haven't used the Wii in quite a while. Yesterday signed up for Netflix hoping to stream shows through the Wii. The remote will not work. Tried new batteries (that do work in my TV remote), unplugged everything including the sensor bar , sync'd remote as booklet described, and for the life of me, I don't understand why the remote doesn't even light up. I did get the Wii screen with Netflix option, shopping, etc., but I also got a message "an error has occurred, refer to your operations manual" (no error code mentioned). Turned the whole thing off again and then got the Wii screen back, but still no remote control usage.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't mind paying someone to come and look at it.
Thank you in advance.
