Busted Wiimote




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

So, one of my Wii remotes is wrecked.

I came home today to find my mother had let my cousins (age six and eight) play with the Wii, pretty much unsupervised. Whether they actually played any games is unbeknownst to me, but when I checked out one of the remotes, the A button was missing. It was horrible! When I turned the console on, the pointer was extremely sluggish, and pointing upside down. The motion sensors appear to be totally screwed, responding to nothing short of what can only be described as rapid masturbatory movements. So, in effect, I have one almost completely useless remote on my hands.

Anyway, the point of this thread. What should I do with:

a) The remote?
b) My cousins and their still partially developed skulls?

Best suggestion I've had so far for the remote is to hollow out the circuitry and replace it with a TV remote. I've only got limited experience with electronics, so I'm not really sure if that's within my abilities. I'm totally open to suggestion on both.

Yea...for ***s sake, 1up.com threw the thing at a solid wall full force, stepped on it, smothered the sensor with peanut butter, and even soaked it in water, and it still worked A-ok immediately after each of them.

I'm going with the weakspot plan.

Can you give the wiimote replaced with warranty?

I broke one of my Wiimotes. Just take it to the shop you bought it from and exchange it. The warranty on these things is like a year.

A)Warranty ftw
B)Give them a sex change.

I'd ask them how the hell they broke it.
