My Wii wont read discs so I got a preowned replacement. The new machine flashes a red cross momentarily during play. Connection to the sensor has not been interupted and play probably isn't affected but if this is a fault with the machine I would like to return it. I don't want them to say there is no problem? Never had this with original.
 
It means you're either sitting WAYYY to close to the tv and sensor bar or you are to far. Try moving the sensor bar around like above or below the tv.
Just don't worry about it okay? it isn't broken since I too get that flashing red x all the time while playing Call of Duty and or any game which requires the motion controls.

the red X is letting you know that you are not pointing the Wii Remote at the screen, it's not picking up the remote from the sensor bar, so point the remote at the screen and you'll be fine.

Thanks for that. It is worst on Call of Duty so sounds like what happens to you too. Cheers.
