Title: My Wiimote seems to be broken
Post by: Mondain on November 27, 2006, 09:18:25 PM

after like two hours of use it stopped responding out of the blue

whenever i try to press buttons with it i only get the four blue LEDs flickering, and pressing the buttons to re-sync it with the unit (both on the remote itself and on the console) changes nothing... and i tried brand new AA batteries too

the controller didn't went through any shock either... what could be wrong, could this remote already be broken? so much for quality Nintendo hardware then

Sometimes it goes to sleep. You press a button and 4 led lights flick, then you use it again. Don't know what the problem is.

My problem is that when playing Wiisports on Thanksgiving I accidently hit one of my Wiimotes on the door and the battery broke off. The controller works perfectly...but I gotta replace that battery cover.

hahah, I was wondering how many different things people would hit when playing the Wii, and how many controllers would get owned ;)

Did you guys see that Gamevideos thing yesterday?  They tried to break a Wiimote by doing various things to it.  It was pretty amusing, and it did in fact survive a toss at the wall.

i broke nothing, silly

anyhow apparently you need to unplug the console and re-power it on, and it works... seems to be a Bluetooth problem... it worked, yah!

happened to a guy on OA too

wtf this is gay, hope Nintendo fixes this, I don't want my controller to randomly go off out of the blue amidst a tense game session
