How To Fix Your Disney Infinity Base?

You will find all the solutions in this section to help resolve your Disney Infinity Base’s functioning.

Replace The Batteries

Disney Infinity Base requires  “3 AAA” batteries to run. To check if the batteries have run out of power, take them out of the compartment and insert them in another compatible device, such as a clock, a TV remote, etc. Get rid of the batteries if this device fails to work. Insert a fresh pair of batteries in your Infinity Base to enable its operation.

Use An Alternative USB Port

It is possible that the USB port you are using has some glitch or has lost its functioning. Hence, plug out your Infinity Base cable and connect it to a different USB port on your console to inspect its performance.

Complete The Full Tutorial

The Infinity Base will not begin to function until you have finished the tutorial to its last second. Thus, let the tutorial complete to continue using this Disney accessory.

Use The Right Surface

You should always keep the Disney Infinity Base on a stable and even surface so the console can detect it without any trouble. Besides that, you must avoid placing it on a metal surface because they are not ideal for its working.

Be Cautious With The Placement

Place the Infinity Base near the console to enable it to quickly scan the characters and the worlds you place on the Base. Also, keep any metal objects away from the Infinity Base when you want to use it.

Furthermore, note that you have set the figures and discs in the right spots on the Infinity Base. The “Circular Spots” are for placing Characters and the Circular Power Discs, while the “Hexagonal Spot” is for Disney Infinity Play Set Pieces and Additional Hexagonal Power Discs.

Check The Compatibility

The Disney Infinity Bases are explicitly designed for different console models. There are six models of the Infinity Base, each compatible with a particular console model. You need a separate Disney Infinity Base model for the devices mentioned in the bullets below.

  • PS3/PS4 and Wii/Wii U use the same model.
  • Xbox 360.
  • Xbox One.
  • Nintendo 3DS.
  • PlayStation Vita.

Use The Infinity Base On Another Console
