I turned on my wii this morning and I immediately noticed that something was wrong. The wii remote didn't connect the first time I pressed A when turning on the system. After another A press, the remote connected. The screen still said press A to continue. I pressed A again. After a few seconds the wii responded and brought me to the wii menu.
The wii remote seemed to be fine for about 10 seconds then suddenly the on screen cursor started lagging behind or would sometimes disappear completely. Pressing buttons often would not respond or have input lag. I have no idea what is causing this.
Failed Attempts to solve the problem:
Note: I've looked this up before and people are saying that using an HDTV with Composite Cables will fix any lag but, I don't see how using different cables will help the Wii Remote respond. Besides the HDTV I have now I've used with the Wii before and had NO LAG. I don't know why it's lagging/not responding now.

Failed Attempts to solve the problem:
- Adjusting Wii sensor bar position and sensitivity
- Closing curtains to avoid stray sun rays from interfering with sensor bar
- Turning off nearby bluetooth devices
- Using/Not Using Wii Motion Plus
- Using A different Wii Remote
- Using A fresh set of batteries
- Resyncing the Wii Remote
- Unplugging the sensor bar, waiting a few minutes, then plugging it back in
- Unplugging the Wii, waiting a few minutes, then plugging it back in

Other Notes:
- I know that candles can also interfere with the sensor bar but I have no candles lit.
- The wii remotes were working perfectly fine yesterday
- Above is a video of me recording the lag on the wii from my phone. The footage is cut only once after the FIRST time I select Lucas. The second time Lucas is deselected I did not press anything
