Just bought a wii (second hand modded)
set it all up,but i am having problems getting the wii remote to work correctly
it doesnt seem to pick up the movememt on games,this the same on both remotes,so i guess it might be the sensor bar
i play the wii play game,and the shooting game comes on,i can fire bullets,abut the target doesnt move
i have placed it both on the top of tv,and below,and also tried setting the sensitivity
(i did notice i couldnt get the 2 flashing dots on there???)

i have all new batteries

the wii picks up the movement sometimes,like on the menu screen,but on games i cant get nothing

i have just ordered a wired sensor bar,hoping this will solve it

you shoulda borrowed a sensore bar and tested it b4 paying for 1.
could be the sensore bar port that is damaged, because the buttons responses comm. with the wii via. bluetooth while the sensore bar is comprised of infrared 2led used to track the infrared cam. in your wii mote.

just a thought, hope it pans out ok

God i love lamp

i have tried all distances from the tv

the new bar was only £6,and besides its a wired one,that dont need batteries (the one i got is wireless),which is what made me think the sensor is at fault

is there any light near the sensor bar? it's very sensitive, and will act up if any bright light is near.

you can check if the iR on each side of the bar is working, by taking a picture of it with the system on. each side should have five iR bulbs lit.

ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

got a whole lot more to list . . .

tried taking a picture with it on,its too blurry to se anything

The wierd thing is,when i just boot the system up,and use the menu screen the little hand is there,and i can move it around the screen
as soon as i play a game,it sorta dont want to work
i have even tried changing the tv mode,i.e to ntsc
(i am PAL region)
