Need to borrow wii sensor bar (reynoldsburg)

[wnaplay1647545503]

Anyone in reynoldsburg have a wii I can borrow a sensor bar off of for a test? Somehow my cable leading to mine was cut and simply splicing the wires back together does not fix the problem. I dont want to buy another bar and there be something else wrong with it. I am not interested in upgrading/downgrading to a wireless setup. I will only need it long enough to plug in and see if it fixes the problem. I can come get it or bring my wii to your house for a quick test. Thanks

All you need is two TV IR remote controls. Get two friends (or kids) to stand on either side of the tv and repeatedly press buttons on the 2 remotes. The Wiimote is an IR camera. It doesnt care what kind of IR it is, but it just uses then as 2 points of reference.

 

If you can somehow secure to IR lights, that will work better.

 

The Wii sensor bar isn't a sensor at all, just 2 fixed sources of IR light.

I will hopefully be taking this to a buddies house this week to try.
