Hey, everybody. I'm pretty new to these forums, and I have a few problems I wanted to ask you guys about.
----------
PROBLEM #1: Clock Problem
My Wii's internal clock is too fast. It's not noticeable on short periods of time, but after a while it has gotten ahead of the actual time. Today, I checked the clock and it was about 10 minutes ahead of the actual time. The funny thing is, my GameCube had exactly the same problem. I'm from Denmark, and so our standard electrical frequency is 50Hz. I usually run games on both my Wii and GameCube in 60Hz, and so my questions are:
QUESTION #1: Has the fact that I'm running games in 60Hz when the standard electrical frequency here in Denmark is 50Hz anything to do with the fact that both my Wii's and my GameCube's internal clocks are going too fast?
QUESTION #2: If not, what can the source of the problem be?
QUESTION #3: And finally, what can be done about the problem?

PROBLEM #2: Nunchuk Problem
All Nintendo fans knows the problem: If the Control Stick is held in another position than its starting position when starting up a game, that position becomes locked as the neutral position. All it takes to reset the position is letting go of the Control Stick and holding down a few of the buttons for a number of seconds (on the Wii: A, B, +, and - for 3 seconds). Now, my problem is that the Control Stick on one of my Nunchuks has started locking its position mid-game, some times rather frequently. It's quite annoying when playing Mario Strikers Charged Football online, where you can't pause the game and where you're constantly set back because you're unable to control anything the 3 seconds it takes to reset the Control Stick. The reason may be that the same Nunchuk hit the edge of a table pretty hard once, although I can't say for sure that's the reason.
QUESTION #1: Could it be the previously mentioned, not-so-careful treatment of my Nunchuk that has caused this problem?
QUESTION #2: If not, what could then be the reason?
QUESTION #3: Is there anything to be done about the problem and if so, what?
