Messed up sensor bar

v13tpr1d3707 · 07-20-2007, 12:05 AM

I tried to make the original sensor bar wireless by cutting the wire and connecting the wires to a AA battery holder that holds 4 batteries. It didnt work so i tried connecting the original wires back together but it didn't work. Can someone tell me how or what i did wrong with the sensor bar?

thanks in advance.

Yea, look on the back of your sensor bar. Do you see cut wires? Good good. They shouldn't be cut.

I believe the wired sensor bar gets 9V output from the Wii. Did you check the voltage of of the sensor bar port?

v13tpr1d3707 · 07-20-2007, 03:32 AM

yes i did watch too many youtube videos and no i didnt check the voltage maybe ill try to fix it later.

v13tpr1d3707 · 07-20-2007, 04:04 AM

ill just pick up the nine volt battery and snap connector.

Did You Attach An Infared Transmiter To The Wireless Part Thats Why It Didnt Work

A buddy just did it for me (yesterday), and it worked. But instead of to bateries, i bought a DC Power Transformer, and connected it to it.

At 6V works perfect, but the sensor bar gets hot, so i was about to test 4.5 today, but i forgot it at a friends house. So i would test tomorrow.

But before doing it, i read a lot. And the main issue could be bad soldering.

Take into consideration that the cables are very thing a fragile, and also, they are covered by a little layer of plastic that you should burn using match, not more than 20 secs, before soldering.

Main issue could be th
