Hello Everyone. I have played 2 or 3 fps games on the Wii and always encounter this problem but im not sure if its my Wii, IR SENSOR or Wii-Mote. I checked my Wii Sensor Bar with the camera trick and its fine.

AND THE PROBLEM!:

When ever I point the cursor to far to the left or right it appears back in the middle of the screen again. Anyone else having these problems? this work with or without the zapper.

I have this thread on the MOH:H2 topic page but I need more feedback and fast! Thanx guys.

I had this problem awhile ago. Was cause by too much light in the room, or a reflective surface near the sensor bar. Basically just try moving anything that might act like a mirror thats near your wii's sensor bar. also if u have a window or lamp that provides alot of light to the room, try closing/turning it off. Hope that helps, your problem sounds spot on to what i was having and doing these things fixed it up.

i usually play in a low light area and i have a crt tv and the sensor bar is on the edge of the entertainment center. i do however sit by a ocelating fan a lot of the times that i play. it just seems that when the cursor goes off of the screen that it flys back in. do you think i need to send my unit in or do u really think it is the room im in. also thanks for posting man. ill check to see if anything reflective is hitting it weird.

you can adjust the sensitivity in your Wii menu.

Im almost certain you wont need to send your wii anywhere. I think u can actually check if u have any relective problems by changing sensativity in your wii settings. It will come up with a black box with 2 flashing white dots, if u got more then 2, you have to change the sensativity or find whats creating those dots. I remember thats how i fixed mine without having to darken the room i was in.

*edit* If u dont know how to get into this sesativity thing. Wii Options, then Wii Settings, Sensor Bar (should be on the 2nd page), Then Sensitivity.

Im not sure what its actually doing when u change those settings, but I think its just making the sensor bar either pick up more light or shut more light out, abit like your eyes when u enter a dark/light room. But like i said im not sure what it does but thats what i think happens and makes sense to me. lol. Just move the sensativity bar left to shut more light out, Right will allow more light in (Which will probably create more flashing dots which u dont want. Iv got mine set far left as it goes.)

now does anyone have a way to get dust out of the system. it appears that the black fabric in the front has on it from the inside and when i pull out my games. dust just gets all over the top half of my games making a distinguishable line. its not bad but its really annoying.

i used our air compressor to try and blow the dust out but and it took most of it out but what can you guys suggest i do?
