My nintendo wii remote is randomly jerking different directions, no matter the game or the channel menu. It doesn't happen all the time, only every 5 seconds.

This just started happening today I have tried different controllers, and it happens with all of them.

I have tried resetting the console, recalibrating the controllers and the sensor bar position is on the correct setting.

Has this happened to anyone else and what can I do to solve this?

Give your sensor bar a good cleaning along with the top of the remotes. Also, make sure there's not a bunch of lights around the sensor bar. You could also be sitting too close.

I cleaned everything over and over and over, and I have no wireless devices or obstructions anywhere. I tried smcking the wiimote, nothing. There are also no curles in any of the cables or anything for the sensor bar, I'm also in a completely dark room.

The problem happens with every wiimote.

lol yeah the topic title sort of indicates that, I was just going to say tell the ghost to wait thier turn. But seriously do you have a light source shining on your sensor bar or directly in the IR's sights. Because it sounds like your wiimote is simply losing the sensor bar, so somethings blocking it. Try dusting it like the above poster said or make sure you don't have any stray light sources screwing with the remote.

edit-nevermind just saw your last post, well all I can say is call Nintendo if your sure about those things.

lol indeed it does

TC, if it happens with every single remote, then it's something in the room. Here's some tricks to try;

1 are you standing too far away?

2 dbl check again for light sources

3 check the batteries

4 make sure you hand isn't in front of the pointer (or any other object for that matter)

5 don't smack the Wiimote anymore lol

6ask your siblings, or parents if they've been sneaky sneaky, and secretely played and dropped the remotes. If so, wrist straps are a must!

7 are the latex gloves (Wii condoms) covering the pointer? (see previous mentioned step)

If you still can't figure it out after those tips, you seriously need to call Ghost Hunters. Something isn't right

Make sure the sensor bar in on its little plastic stand and that you aren't too close.

Yeah at around 5 in the afternoon the sun shines directly where I like to play and the cursor on the screen was going crazy. The sun and other light sources scramble the interface between the Wiimote and Sensor Bar so minimize the direct light hitting either. You don't have to play in the dark but just don't have sun shining on you or a lanp really close to the sensor

Does this happen with all of your remotes, or just one? Test them all to be sure. That will tell you if it's a problem with the remote itself, or something else. If you have a video camera, turn it on (you don't need to actually record) and point it at your sensor bar while the Wii is on. You should see all the IR lights in the bar through the video camera (If you have a night shot mode, you can see them even brighter). Make sure they are all lit properly and aren't blinking or anything. If you get past those two checks, then it's something with your setup. Make sure the remote has a clear view of the sensor bar (if the bar is up too high, or down too low it can cause problems) and make sure no secondary light source is interfering with the remote's ability to pick up the IR lights in the sensor bar. Also, make sure you're simply not too far from the sensor bar. Hope that helps.
