Problem for Nintendo Wii Console
Wii remote
hi my son's wii remote works on the menu screen and all other things. The problem comes when you start a game, say tennis or golf, and it won't let you swing at all. We bought it for him for xmas and it was working fine till a few days ago. I have totally turned off the system and reconnected everything but it still persists. any suggestions??

Same Problem

- I had the exact same problem and it happened shortly after getting the Wii. But I tried banging the remotes a few times as was suggested and it worked!!! For both of my remotes! I am so happy, because I had tried everything else, and we had resigned to not using the Wii until we could pay to get it serviced. Now it's good as new!! - mchelle1226Feb 03, 2008
- The same. I can use the remote on the menu screen but when it comes to playing a game -no chance. My other remote works absolutely fine.Rachel G- gafs

Turn the remote on each side and wack it on your palm three times each side. Don't kill it, just hard enough to loosen the sensor...its stuck.

Had same problem. Remote would not sense motion. Took battery out then put back in. Then smacked it firmly, but not hard enough to break it 3 to 4 times on a hard surface.
That did the trick! Bowled a 160!
My son has two remotes so I guess if you don't play two player games a lot you should swap remotes every so often to keep the motion sensor limber.

Hey none of the fancy reset directions worked for me either, but I GOT IT TO WORK by banging it - 2-3 times on the right side in my palm, then 2-3 times on the left side in my palm. (Geesh... what kind of board did I just write that on??) Anyway, just whack away! It took a couple rounds of this whacking, but it did fix it. I had bought my remote second-hand off of eBay and was bummed I got a bad one, but this resolved the issue quite nicely and now I can kick three of my friends' butts in Mario Kart instead of just 2 at a time!

Same problem today. We tried re-syncing the remote. We took the batteries out and reloaded. It still won't swing.
