    please do relpy
    thanks

    Without knowing more detailed information about your situation, I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that it has to do with the programming. If the programming isn’t done right, it might appear that the sensors stop working even though they haven’t lost any functionality.

    The best way to test the sensors is to use the factory programmed sensor tests that came pre-loaded on the NXT block. They tell you which sensor to plug in and then give direct feedback from the sensor (by sound or by displaying something on the screen) so you can see whether its working. If you’ve erased all the programs at any time, though, they won’t be on your NXT.

    The link below shows you how to test the sound sensor. On the page are links to directions for testing each of the other sensors.
