Repair guide for the wiimote?

[PSXCopyCat]

I have colleted a several wiimotes over the pass few months. I have been looking for a general repair guide for them. Does anyone know where one is? all I keep finding is the $19.99 offer from repairwii...sigh.

and nintendo's site

Have anything specific as to what is wrong with them? I can prob write up a guide in my free time since I have fixed about a dozen of wiimotes due to people trying to do player indicator mods and other such things to them. The only problem with this is my free time is a bit lacking due to the unbricking and media center projects that I am working on.

the most common problem I am having is the sensitivity. Like for example, pick a golf game, try to putt and it will act like you just drove the ball as hard as you can. I have tried with fresh batteries, no outside light sorce interference, no radio issues. No clue one what it is, I have been probing the pcb and everything appears to be normal.

With the batteries, tested in bad wiimote then pulled and tested in good wiimote.

if it is a sensitivity problem that sounds more like an accelerometer than a button issue in which case you would need to pull it off the board, actually locate new ones and replace them. not sure you can replace those and actually make $$$ or even break even depending if you can actually get the chips.

Isn't there a wii setting for sensitivity of wiimotes?

i think i read somewhere that it is a general wiimote issue being horrible at golf games. so your wiimotes may not be broken at all.

my wiiremote has a broken speaker inside it, how can i fix this issue? you can hear some sounds from it, but it sounds as if something is not connected right, and the sounds cuts off and plays very distorted at times

That sounds like a broken wire. open the wiimote and look to see if one of the wires are disconnected then resolder.
