Wii Controller Issue

[Seil]

So a bit ago, my only Wiimote got borked. (Friend said "You should totally mod this thing") and I recently bought a new one. The unfortunate thing is that the new one, while working - lights flashing and everything - won't actually connect to my Wii.

There's this little Synch button thing at the back, but the instruction booklet is literally ten different languages telling you how to put the Wiimote into the Wii condom.
