Hi, my wii remote problem is that sometimes it just suddenly died when i played with it, what do you think makes this problem?

Hello my Wii remote doesn’t Sync to my console even though i tried using the red button, the bateries work right but there’s something unusual and it’s that when i put the bateries in, even though i don’t press any button the lights start going right, left, right, left like the video and they don’t stop until i remove the bateries. I don’t find any solution in YouTube, nintendo’s page or chatgpt. Does someone have a solution??

Thanks! Resurrected two controllers. 12 years ago - that’s the last time I used them.

I fixed a decent bit of controllers and they work great but they all seem to have a pattern of losing the button sensitivity. If I press the buttons lightly they don't seem responsive and I have tried many different ways to fix this. Any advice on fixing this?

Do you know why the remote plus and minus buttons move across the main screen? The dpad does nothing. Home button works but then can't press anything

[Mhneto]
