Great guide! I took one of my remotes apart some years ago. Now, with fresh tri-wing driver in hand, I am ready to reassemble the thing. Problem: where to solder the green ground? It currently is fused to the nunchuk connector housing, but where does the other end go??? Wish I'd noted that, back then
