Wii Balance Board won’t turn on or won’t Sync

Today, I took out my Wii Balance Board because I want to play Wii Fit Plus (and shed some fats lol). However, when I turned it on, it won’t stay on and the blue led in the balance board would just blink then die.

I was thinking that I had dead batteries (possible symptom number 1 – oh my, from trauma team) so inserted 4 brand new and newly charged Ecomax AA batteries (bought yesterday from CDR-King) and tried it again. Same response… is it dead? I was thinking, omg! My PHP4,500 balance board is dead? It can’t be so I still try to think what could be it then I remembered about the synching needed when I first bought the Wii Balance Board.
So I tried pressing the Sync button in the Wii Balance Board (it can be found in the place where you insert the batteries).

I pressed it and it was still blinking like crazy but after a while it will still die. I did some research and I found these instructions from the Nintendo website.

Basically, the instructions to sync your Wii Balance Board are the following:
- Make sure your battery is not dead
- Insert a game that uses the Wii Balance Board (Wii Fit Plus would be ok) and start the game
- Press the sync button in your Wii Balance Board and while this is blinking, press the sync button in your Wii

This is what I did and it worked and now I was able to play Wii Fit Plus and sweat a lot doing rowing squats.. ohh my quads…
