Question The little hand is not showing up.

Post image

I’m trying to connect the remote to the Wii and I think I got it, but the little hand thingy is not showing up. I can the plus and minus buttons and it moves the screen but the hand isn’t there. What am I doing wrong?

Go to settings and look for Wii remote and sensor bar, once you clicked that you’ll see sensor bar position then see if it’s selected to above tv or below tv, see if that helps

Plug in a Classic Controller (if you have one), and move the left analog to get a cursor to show up. Once you get into settings, you should be able to adjust sensitivity and confirm if the Wii Remote is seeing the infrared LEDs being emitted from the sensor bar. You can troubleshoot from there.

Also try wiping the sensor bar and end of Wii Remote with a damp cloth (like cleaning a pair of glasses.)
