I press the buttons and stuff and the lights flash a bunch then stop. I plugged and unplugged the senor bar and nothing happened. Can I buy a new sensor bar somewhere? or whats up?

Open the battery compartment on the controller and press the little red button, then in the little flap where you put the SD card is another red button press that while the lights on the controller are flashing, it should synch up.

still nothing, I also tried putting the bats out for 3 min and back in, nothing. I think the sensor bar might be broken? it antecedently was hanging by it's wire earlier.... can't remember if it worked after that...

Look. What do you to to a computer when it crashes? YOU TURN IT OFF! go give the wii a hard reset and it'll work again.

It has nothing to do with you sensor bar...at all. Make sure you are synching properly. Push the button in the battery cover then the one on the Wii. Dont hold them down. Just push and let go.

Read the manual? You are pointing at the right spot? You have synched properly? If allt hat is yes (though something is wrong and probably it is very simple) ring nintendo and they can guide you through it i think.

It has to DO NOTHING with the SENSOR BAR. THE SENSOR BAR is there only for the infrareds.....so try to sync properly. Leave your Wii for a while unpluged and try to sync PROPERLY! Read your nintendo manual which came with the Wii it says how to do it...step by step...if this fail....call nintendo
