my Wii censor bar broke it doesn't receive any signal from the remote at all. Jesus Christ, I haven't had it long and I cant find anywhere that stoke censor bars without the Wii.

Did you try calling Nintendo Customer Service? I'm sure they can help.

Wait a minute, I just remembered.
Do you have a couple of candles? Since the Wii launch, I watched and episode of 'The Attack Show' on G4 that showed a demonstration and it worked. You should try it out, since your sensor bar isn't working.

As explained in the IGN article, the Wiimote only senses IR sources for it's pointing ability which is used for Wii games like Twilight Princess and Red Steel that make heavy use of it. The Wii sensor bar creates one using 'power' connected to the Wii itself with the sensor bar's grey wire plugged in and two bars on the sides that light up. While the candles themselves create their own with no power at all. |

@ *fathernorris & gamefreak*
Guess you didn't need my help after all.
*sigh* Fine, I may as well call myself stupid for wasting my time providing alternate options(aside from sensor bars) to you guys. V_V
