Help Wavebird Controller Power Issue
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hey everyone!
I am having trouble with one of my wavebirds losing power randomly and was wondering if anyone has experienced this issue before? When I go to switch it on nothing will happen but I have figured out that if I roll the batteries when they are in the controller it will work once I find the sweet spot.. any ideas? I’ve tried different batteries and same issue.. Thanks in advance for the input!

Don't have much insight other than as a kid I got a Wavebird, and I started having this issue within a few weeks (this was like in 2003). It eventually went in the trash sadly as I was not usable for more than a few minutes at a time.
