WiiMote PCB problem

RockStar1x0 · January 30, 2023

The part in black doesn't seem to be working, and I've already tried two different carbon pads and they aren't the issue, the issue is the actual pcb and was wondering how to fix it.

you've made 3 previous topics about this exact issue...

you're not gonna find your answer by endlessly repeating the same question.

if it's not dirt, and not the membrane, there's a fault in the PCB itself, if you insist - good luck on reverse engineering thr PCB. i suggest just buying another second hand wiimote.

The reason for me repeating it is to see if I can get different peoples possible solutions on it instead of only one, because I've been having trouble trying to find fixes for it due to the WiiMote No longer being made and the issue not being common to the public where there is a page on how to fix it. I understand the repeating and I'm sorry for that, but I just want to get peoples responses having different ways to possibly fix it instead of only having one and going off of that.

you're not gonna find your solution here by eternally asking the same question.

perhaps if you go to a community that is really focussed on keeping retro stuff alive, or a community that is more focussed on repair they might be able to help you, but the best you're gonna get here is probably "it's broken, and a refurb wiimote is like 15 bucks."

EDIT: and there's still new aftermarket wiimotes.
