wiimote not registering in sensor bar

[human_dictionary]

ive connected my wiimote to the computer via. bluetooth dongle, but when i launch the mii channel, i can wave the wiimote around, but ive only seen the cursor once or twice. all the controls work fine, but it just doesnt seem to register the movement properly. ask for config screenshots if they're needed.

Look at your sensor bar through a digital camera. If you don't see it lighting up, that's where your problem lies.

update: got all the screws out (even the hidden ones, they're annoying). got visitiors atm, so ill get the multimeter & check for faulty connections. thx AnyOldName3!
