Is my Motion Plus sensor faulty?

Have had Wii Sports Resort and M+ sensor since it came out and only use it occasionally. But recently the console keeps asking for us to realign the sensor. This happens lots even with new batteries. I now have the rechargeable batteries and it still happens. This happens with both remotes.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

R U serious - this is normal? WOW! Does anybody else get this? Surely this is a bug or a fault. It's make gameplay totally impossible as we need to reset each handset about every 5-10 seconds.

I don't get it every few seconds, that would be crazy. I get it before I start any of the games, ie Swordplay.

FWIW I usually only get this when a new controller is registered with the game.

The recalibrate screen comes up when you pause the game, buttons aren't a bit sticky or being pressed when they shouldn't be?

i only needto allain on first use of resort, i have not needed to do it twice yet.

However i dont think M+ lives upto the hype of 1:1 movement althou an improvement, may need to wait until wii 4 (yes4) or ps4 to get better motion
