Wavebird

[Kamaji]

Hi, I have a wireless wavebird controller, and it recently stopped working. The power won't turn on (and yes, I've changed the batteries). Any suggestions?

waaah *sob*... It was such a loyal controller for those passed 5 years...

This is the time to open it up and pull the parts out. Haha, an autopsy if you will.

I tried... I was like "what the hell is this???" Nothing looked damaged to me. I fixed the joystick on the other one tho. I felt proud of myself for that lol.

Have you checked that it's on the correct channel to receive and send signals?

 

[KevinM]

Yea or check if their is some kind of interference, does anyone else use them near you?

 

[Kamaji]

No, the power light doesnt even come on, and it doesnt send a signal. I have another wavebird, and it works with both recievers.

Could be a simple short in the power supply. But you'd have to take it apart and have a multimeter handy to test it. Do you have a multimeter?
