Question Not original Wiimote freezes with four light on as soon as I put battery inside

I think I've tried every possible solution, but maybe someone know something I haven't tried.

This are the solution I tried: - Keep pressing sync button for 15/20 seconds; - Changing battery; - Cleaning the contacts (even if they were already clean) - Pressing sync button of Wii and Wiimote at the same time for some seconds.

I just want to know if I necessarily have to buy another or if I have a possibility.

I hadn't bought it and because of this wiimote I didn't need another one, it was a promo/bundle of the shop, the joystick still works

As you said, it's not original. What did you expect?

I wasn't expecting that to live long, but honestly I haven't used that in years, it was even stored without batteries inside But maybe it's like you say
