hardware diagnostics
Jan. 11th, 2009 04:15 pmFor those of you with a Wii, should the position sensor in the remotes start behaving erratically or not at all, could I suggest investigating the length of the wire powering the location bar for the consequent effects of the application of sharp, white, pointy KITTINS.
Just sayin.
Outer insulation and braid: split asunder. The core and its sheath seem to have survived, astonishingly enough.
ETAfourfive breaks, forsooth. They BAD.
ETA further that I've wrecked one jeweller's screwdriver getting three of the five (tri-wing) screws out of the bar, and settled for splitting and rejoining the cable at its outermost breaks. Turns out it's actually some sort of twisted pair jobbie that lends itself poorly to a solder-and-insulating-tape repair, but my jury-rigged repair is holding for now.
