Why would a Wii controller not work when I hook up the system for the first time?

I had no problem with the system setup; however, when I inserted a game into the system, it doesn't recognize the controller.Why would a Wii controller not work when I hook up the system for the first time?
Did you hook up the controller before or after you plugged the system into the power? Try unplugging it and then plugging it back in.Why would a Wii controller not work when I hook up the system for the first time?
when my youngest son set up the wii the first time, he had never seen one set up. He plugged all the pieces into the television, and console right. However, the ';controller bar'; that reads the controller he sat up incorrectly. He had the bar itself lying down flat on its face on the telly. So the Wii couldn't see a signal.
You need to Sync the Wii-mote with the system. To do this, Open the front flap of the Wii and youw ill see a small red button labeled 'Sync'.





Keep that open and take the battery cover off of the Wii-mote. You will see the same button.





Press the one on the Wii, then press the one on the Wii-mote. They shoudl be synced. you will need to do this every time you bring a new Wii-mote to play with.

How does a Vtec Controller work and what is it used for?

ive heard of apexi or something but what are they for and how do they work? what about the price range on them?How does a Vtec Controller work and what is it used for?
Vtec is a valve timing control module that helps with power and fuel economy for Hondas, and Acuras, and some other cars now. Not sure on the price range of them though.How does a Vtec Controller work and what is it used for?
Yes, the Vtec controller is made by Apexi.





Basically the V-AFC controller is used for changing the Vtec engagement point. For example the stock Vtec change over point on a 00 Civic Si is 5300, but with the Vtec controller you can adjust the change over anywhere from 3000-6000 rpms.





Vtec controllers are also used for adjusting the air/fuel ratio across the entire rpm range of the engine.





The price range of these usually run about $300-350.





I would recommend only using one if your car has some more serious mods done to the engine...if you dont it is kind of worthless to buy because your paying more than $300 just to adjust the vtec change over point.
it pretty much does nothing...it's just a fancy label they put on their cars to make them seem better. the only thing it does is drain your gas mileage like crazy when it's engaged. doesn't provide for much more power though.
the apexi (s) go for around $300ish........





they are good. just dont get a knock off..





heres the Apexi info on the V-AFC 2





The highly anticipated release of the new A'PEX VAFC II started a new revolution in piggy-back style fuel controllers. Building upon the world wide success of the previous VAFC, the new VAFC II has taken the proven technology of the last VAFC to the next level. For optimal fuel control, the VAFC now allows for 12 point fuel manipulation in 100 RPM increments. The VAFC II also allows for the VTEC engagement point to be manipulated from 3000-7000 RPM, including the new i-VTEC systems. The redesigned case features a center push button with a rotating outer switch for easy and precise data input. To protect data maps from being tampered with, the new VAFC II features a password protection system.





Like the Super AFC II, the VAFC II displays data in three different modes: Numerical, analog, and graph. Numerical mode allows the user to monitor up to four different values in numerical format and also shows peak hold values on demand. The analog mode displays up to two values in an easy to read meter style display. Peak hold is included in analog mode as well. The graph mode offers real time graph plotting with a built in ghost map trace feature. The graph can relay movement up to 60 seconds.


New Features Include:





- New case design with center push button and rotating outer switch


- VTEC engagement control from 3000-7000 RPM in 100 RPM increments


- 12 point fuel control for LOW and HIGH VTEC maps (total of 24 points)


- i-VTEC compliant


- Monitor i-VTEC VVT movement in real time


- Password protection


- Red LED light indicated cam switchover point


- EEPROM chip for maximum data storage


- VTEC Match/Unmatch correction for smooth VTEC engagement modification


- Versatile mounting bracket














CONCEPT:


Piggyback Fuel Computer with Integrated VTEC Controller





CHARACTERISTICS:


Modifies manifold pressure signal and alters VTEC engagement point on Honda VTEC engines; Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD).

I believe you must be talking about the Apexi VAFC right? It stands for VTEC / Air Flow Controller. It is a electronic device which taps into the ECU to adjust the VTEC activation rpm %26amp; adjustment of the intake air pressure or volume depending on the type of intake air sensor your car is using.(Vacuum sensor or air flow sensor)





I believe if you drive a Honda, you should know that the mechanism of VTEC is based on a secondary wild profile cam lobe which activates via a solenoid valve when the engine revs up to certain rpm. Most VTEC activation point in a stock DOHC VTEC Honda engine is around 5000 to 5500 rpm. Most tuners such as Spoon %26amp; Hondata believes that actually the optimum VTEC activation point is around 4500 rpm to improve acceleration.





To achieve greater power output, besides adjustment of the VTEC activation point, adjustment of the air/fuel ratio %26amp; ignition timing is also required because the setting of the stock ECU is meant to maximise engine lifespan but sadly,it also minimise engine power output.





To find out more about the product description %26amp; the price, you can refer to www.kingmotorsports.com

Where can I get a new green xbox 360 controller, or a special green halo controller?

Im looking for just a green controller. Either the new neon green one or a green one that comes with the halo xbox 360. Just the controller. Anyone know where to get one besides ebay?Where can I get a new green xbox 360 controller, or a special green halo controller?
Ebay is the only place I can think of.Where can I get a new green xbox 360 controller, or a special green halo controller?
yeah, youll have to get it used..the green one is only available with the halo edition xbox, but someone might have traded one in at gamestop (as others have suggested) or some other local gaming store.
Check the link below. Looks as if they may have the specific controllers you are looking for.

one thing you could do is check at your local gamestop if not ask someone that has a halo edition xbox because they come with the green and black controller.
Either Amazon.com or Gamestop.com

    What is the number one skill/quality someone should have?What are the skills you need to become an air traffic controller?
    From the FAA's website:





    What it takes to be an Air Traffic Control Specialist





    These are characteristics of the exceptional men and women who provide the safe and orderly flow of air traffic at airports and in our skies:





    * Disciplined


    * Tough-minded


    * Meticulous


    * DrivenWhat are the skills you need to become an air traffic controller?
    multitasking ability.





    clear, consice communication skills.





    ability to prioritise





    calm under pressure
    all of the above plus a degree in ATC, but most of all multitasking.
    I've been training to become a Pilot for a while and the Instructors have so much confedince in them they keep there life safe or end it


    not to discourage you but it takes responcibility
    I've been an Air Traffic Controller for 17 years. I love my job but it is not for everyone. You do not need a college degree, but it is becoming more important in the FAA's recent hiring. You must become employed before your 31st birthday and mandatory retirement is 56.





    The person who wrote multi-tasking and staying calm is very correct. However the first hurdle is actually getting hired. From there everything is on the job training. Approximately 60% actually make it thru training.





    Check out the National Air Traffic Controllers Association website for more info. Good Luck!!

    first you need to learn to talk the lingo such as pilot to the navigator,,come in navigator,,,are you there,,,and well clear your site to runway 3 and hairyup and land cause theres a 747 coming up behind you mitey fast

    Why does my PS2 dvd remote only work like a regular controller?

    It has all the buttons like say a normal dvd remote, menu, fwd, pause. But none of these buttons work, I have to use X to enter and R3 to skip chapters. Is there some way to make these work?Why does my PS2 dvd remote only work like a regular controller?
    Did you install the playstation dvd drivers that came on the cd that came with it?





    You need to install those and they take up 2.1 mb on your memory card if i remember correctly.

    What is the best controller for computers to play sport games?

    I want to play fifa 08 on my computer but i hate using keyboard and mouse. so what is the best controler for the computer, keep in mind i use a PS2 so i am used to that computer. The computer must have good analoge sticks and pressure buttons, would be great if it wasnt so pricey either.What is the best controller for computers to play sport games?
    If you look around I'm sure you could find a PC controller designed exactly like a PS2 controller. You could also buy a PS3 controller since it has a USB connection. Although I'm not sure if it would work. I have heard of people using Xbox 360 controllers though. They're not too different.What is the best controller for computers to play sport games?
    Go outside and play real sports.........kids these days

    I would say your talking about this controller http://www.game-addicts.com/wp-content/u鈥?/a>





    It should have came with a separate piece that you open the top hatch on the Wii console and plug into the controller ports that wired gamecube controllers plug into.How do you use one of those new wii controllers that looks like a ps2 controller?
    I'm not sure what kind of controller you referring to. A photo of it or a link to someplace that sells it would help a lot.





    Is this it?
