So for the heck of it, I decided to try out Wii Fit Plus for the first time in years, mostly to see how Wii Fit Plus would rate me overweight, normal weight, or underweight, now that I am down 30 pounds (to 160 pounds) from a few years ago. But I have to play it on my Wii U, because our Wii was fried back in 2016 when lightning struck our house.
But the issue I have is with the Wii Fit Balance Board. I swapped out the batteries with fresh ones and made sure that the contact points were not corroded (they weren't), but the Balance Board simply won't power on, much less sync with the Wii U. The power indicator light does not come on, or anything, even when I press the power button.
According to iFixit, the probable explanation is that the battery compartment is bad. Does anyone else have any ideas as to why the Wii Fit Balance Board won't power on, and if you do, what do you suggest I do?
