wii ballance board pairing w console

have had this wii console and not the wii u for years as part of my fitness training . i use wii fit ballance games with a wii board . isssue : we had a unanounced power outage took me almost a week to pair the wiimote . had to walk away from it for a while . issue : wii board wont pair even looked on the internet. no satisfaction on getting it reset, may have to threaten to throw it into a lake . friend of mine was lab tec at a local college and used that as a stress reducer . any idears welcome . steve wozniac once said , dont trust a computer that u cant throw out the window. thanks
