There are three things that could prevent the Wii Balance Board from turning on:
'''The batteries are dead.'''
If it's been a while or you have never changed the batteries in your balance board, then they may need replacing.
'''The battery terminals are corroded.'''
The corrosion from batteries can build up and break the connections between the batteries and the battery terminals. Rub the corroded battery terminals with a Q-tip dipped in vinegar or lemon juice to break apart the corrosion. Apply a bit of baking soda and wipe away the corrosion. Make sure to wash your hands well since the corrosion will irritate your skin.
'''The battery compartment is faulty.'''
-
If your balance board is still not turning on even after replacing the batteries and cleaning out any corrosion, then the battery compartment is probably faulty. You can follow our battery compartment replacement guide [guide|30881|here.].
