Sega Lost World gun tracking

OK this tracking system SUCKS, Sega came up with this idea, and it blows. Most companies use an optical gun, that uses simple optics and light sensors. Technology that is tried and true, works like a charm.

Sega came up with this compilation of LED's surrounding the monitors and sensors inside the guns. There's like 30 led's on this thing, if one of them goes out or gets dim? BAM the whole system is screwy.

Anyway, I have a problem where BOTH of the guns in this game will not track or calibrate, you can check the LED's just by looking at them and seeing if they're lit. They are, so since BOTH guns are acting up, I figure it should, SHOULD, be the sensor control board ($270.00). Replaced the board and the guns still won't track.

So now, I'm ordering two of the gun sensors and hoping they'll fix the problem. Although it seems odd that they would both go out at the same time..
