-Problem with accelerometer's failing on multiple Wiimotes
+Problem with accelerometers failing on multiple Wiimotes

Text:

Hi there!  We have a custom video game that uses Nintendo Wiimotes paired to a Dolphin bar.  The game runs on a PC.  It is a racing game where the speed of your horse is controlled by quickly moving the Wiimote up and down.  We have had significant problems with the accelerometers failing.  I made sure to only purchase genuine wiimotes and over a 2 week public campaign we had at least 10 controllers stop working.  Any ideas on why this might be happening and any tips on how we can prevent it happening and/or fix the Wiimotes that no longer work?  Note: The controllers stay paired and the D pad still works, just not the accelerometer.  Thanks in advance!!
