When I turn on my Wii it goes to the normal start-up screen but the wii-motes do not connect. I have tried all 3 I have and tried resyncing and everything and still no result. When I hit the power button to turn off the system the screen goes black but the light stays green and the disc tray lights up. The same thing happens when I hit the reset button as well. I tried all the Nintendo FAQ's and nothing is happening.
Is my Wii fully bricked?

Um... Are you sure that the wiimotes have fresh batteries?

Yes the batteries are full.

It would seem as if your BT module is screwed. You could either:

1.) Send it to Nintendo to get it fixed.
2.) If you don't have a warranty, you could just DIY.

Thanks I will try this. My only question is where can I find a guide to fix it? Can you send me a link?

If your wii gets to the health and safety screen then your bluetooth module is fine.
Try to hold the sync button on the wii for at least 20 seconds and then press the sync button on your wii mote.
See if that helps. But do this when the health and safety screen is on.
Also the wii should go to the menu after a certain period of time when nothing is done

This does not work. In my first post I mentioned I tried it with three wiimotes. Yes the Wii goes past the health and safety screen but I cannnot access any of my channels because my wiimotes do not connect.

If your system menu is below 4.1, insert New Super Mario Bros into your wii and access the rescue menu with SaveMii or SaveMiiFrii. Wait for the update from the game to install (you won't see anything on screen to tell you that the update is installing, but it is). After a few minutes, the update will finish installing, but you should wait longer since your wii may brick if you turn it off while it is still updating. After the update installs, your wii shoud work normally.

Holding the sync button on the wii for a long time clears the list of synced wii motes. This sometimes helps.
However you never mentioned if you have a US wii or EUR wii?
What region should your wii in and what is it saying? I won't do an upgrade just to try.
I had a wii that had also trouble with syncing to my wii mote while others had no problem.
Keeping the sync button pressed for a long time helped it.

Did you install any other stuff on the wii or is it not modded in any way?
