ANSWERS

 
Portal of power - have you taken out the USB stick?
- have you put in batteries?

If not do this, restart, try again.

Yes, I've tried several NEW batteries and reseated usb stick several times. Portal power powers on (lights come on) but then lights go off after about 30 seconds after it was turned on. It never connects no matter how close they are placed next to each other.

Tried what someone else said. I closed the game (skylanders)and opened another game i have saved on the ps3, then followed the directions on how to sinc - I unplugged the usb then replugged it in. I opened the back of the battery compartment, turned the portal on and then turned it upside down and pressed the sinc button so the light on the side of the portal flashes really quickly. Straight away the light stopped flashing and remained on (sinc'ed). I then replaced the battery cover and closed the game and reopened Skylanders - worked great. Would recommend this method to anyone having problems. Good luck.

We've tried for months to sync the Portal of Power. All the same issues as I'm seeing here. Finally really looked at the instructions and it worked! What did we do different? 1) Turn on the Wii console, power on the POP, wait for solid red light, THEN insert the game software. 2) Moved it off our TV stand that has metal poles. It must be 6 inches away from metal!! It's now on a wood table next to the TV stand. Hope this helps!

My kids are having the same issue. I try to sync it, which will cause the light on the usb and on the portal of power to blink really quickly - then it will go to a slow blinking light.

The credics are saying that it's a waste of money because the portal always breaks after the first weak or so...

Have a PS3 also. The portal of power will not sync, followed the steps carefully multiple times. Tried putting a different game in while trying to sync. Nothing, very frustrating.is there alight on the USB chip for PS3? Mine doesn't light at all.

I recommend getting rechargable batteries for the wireless portal. Regular batteries drain to quickly. I had the same problem. Game saves have nothing to do with the issue.

The portals mood light uses less battery power while not synced. When synced the portal turns off due to low battery power. Using lithium ion batteries have given us longer gameplay.

My wireless receiver has been lost! All other wireless receivers are $30-35, and I want a cable, but those are $99! Any help wondering what to do? I've beaten the game, but I'm still working on making it poerfect, with all the characters, hats, stars, yadda yadda.

I to was having this problem but it was due to the fact that there were not enough carrots in the fridge and the trout was getting warm. I found it to work better it you take your portal of power and throw it at a large beaver.
