Contrary to what I had been told there were no springs or other tiny parts to contend with when cracking open the Wii Remote. So without too much effort, I was able to get the Wii Remote back together. And, to my surprise, it works just fine (note the LEDs).

Of course, I had to test it with some more Wii bowling. My high score so far is 217.
