Hardware HELP! Wiimotes stopped working.

[berlinka]

5 minutes ago I wanted to try out Endless Ocean and suddenly my Wii doesn't recognize both my Wiimotes anymore. My wife has just been playing Wii Sports and all was fine. I tried the connection button (next to the SD slot) but all the Wiimotes do now is blink and then...nothing.

Does anybody have a clue what could be wrong?

Thanks in advance

Power down the wii (remove power from it completely) and then power up again - all should be well.

I had this happen to me once.
