The Nintendo WaveBird wireless controller channel wheel guide will allow the user to change the channel wheel if it won’t turn. Prior to replacing the part, ensure that dirt clogging the wheel is not the cause of malfunctioning. If the wheel and controller is clean and the wheel still fails to turn, a faulty channel wheel is likely the issue.
While replacing the channel wheel, take care with removing the motherboard to avoid damaging the motherboard. In addition, check the condition of the AA batteries to ensure that they are not swollen or leaking.
