Sensor bar not working?!

Hello there guys! A few months ago I bought all the things I needed to get ready to use Dolphin, here are the items I bought:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/remote-with-motionplus-silicone-sleeve-nunchuck-controller-set-for-wii-white-56396
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/wireless-sensor-bar-for-wii-4-aaa-26893
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/mini-bluetooth-3-0-usb-dongle-110621

Getting Dolphin to recognize the controller was a bit difficult at first, but it ended up working (I almost thought this Bluetooth Dongle wasn't good), but here's the thing, when in-game, all the buttons on the controller work (like on Wii Sports Resort, as soon as you begin, you press A+B, they work great, and the menu button also works!). Thing is, I see no cursos! It's like the controller isn't seeing the sensor bar! The sensor bar was powered on, with 4 brand new batteries, and with a red LED showing that it was on. I was in dobt if the problem was with the controller or with the sensor bar, so I lit up 2 candles, and, to my surprise, it worked! So it seems the problem is on my sensor bar, do you guys know a way to fix it? Wanted so much to play it without the need to light 2 candles every time Confused


Thanks guys!

Look at the sensor bar when on through a digital camera. If you don't see a cluster of lights at each side, then it's broken. If you see lights, but only dim ones, then basically they're too dim. To fix either of these you'll have to open it up and do some soldering. If they don't work at all, then search for dry joints and broken connections, and then fix them. If the lights work, but too dimly, then you'll need to replace the resistors with weaker ones.

If you see bright lights, then I have no idea why it doesn't work.

Any camera will work, don't worry.

Ps I bought the same config, but the bar is really cheap and almost useless sadly.

Pps you may encounter some problems trying to connect more than 1 wiimote with that USB dongle.

Took a picture of it, so it seems no lights turn on at all, and you guys can clearly see that it's turned on (red LED): http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/213/20120627161154.jpg

How come does the red LED work, but the IR LEDs don't?

Because it's broken. it may be relatively easy to fix, but if possible, you may be able to exchange it for a new one.

A) Try to get wherever you bought it to swap it for a new one.

B) Open it up, find the problem, solder the problem.

Bought it on DX, they will surely refund me, but it takes like 3 months for a new one to arrive, meanwhile, I wanted to find a solution and play the games Confused

If you fix it yourself, then no shop will offer a refund. Either fix it, loosing any chance of replacement, or use two candles until a replacement can arrive.
