Got a Problem with your Wiimote controller than just give it a Spank.

Our demo Wii remote stopped working this week. The pointer was still functioning but the motion sensing appeared to be totally unworkable.

Today we managed to get through to tech support at Nintendo and they told us to hold the remote face down in one hand and spank it sharply with the other.

"We've only tried this once," they said, "but give it a shot."

I was boggling at the conversation as it was being relayed to me, but by God it worked. Thing is just as precise as it was before.

Funny world eh

Everyone knows the best way to fix broken electronics is to hit them. It works at least..... 25% of the time :p.

Holy crap!
You guys dont know how happy i'm right now!

I was playng guitar hero with my wiimote...and i got pissed with the game...and.........WHACK...i hited it with my best shot....gues what....the motion sensor stoped working!

I've tried to play mario, zelda, and none of them worked, so ive started to search the web for support...

Ive found out that her in braSil theres no nintendo, and there was nothing for me to do...

some minutes more of research brought me here...since i had no other option left ive decided to do it!

I gave it a smooth slap, and didnt work, then i gave a hard slap, and mario turned, but it hadnt fixed it...ive kept spanking it with no result...

But then i though, if ive beated the hell out of it to break it, why dont do the same to unbreak!

Ive closed my fist, charged my best punch, and WHAM, mario spinned right away!!

Thx to you guys i dont have to buy another one!!
=D
