Forums - Nintendo - Best replacement for Wii Sensor Bar?

My brothers crushed the left side by dropping a TV on it and since then its random.
It works when wants other times it flickers all around the screen and sometimes disappears.

What the best replacement for the Wii Sensor Bar? Im trying to buy one ASAP. Ive got about $24 right now so if I can I'll go today.

So please hurry which one is the best?

Sorry for all the threads Ive started today.=\

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

You could also just use 2 LED lights if you don't feel like spending any cash.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Literally all the sensor bar is is 2 LEDs.  It doesn't actualy communicate with the Wii in any way, whatsoever.  The only purpose for the cord is power.  You can get a couple of LEDs for pennies each, and just place them where you would place your sensor bar.

Just make sure that they're placed where the ends of the sensor bar would be

You can order a replacement direct from Nintendo for $10. That's your best bet really.

I've used a replacement wireless sensor, as well as a third party replacement that used a heavier power/signal wire and my conclusion is the OEM Nintendo bar works the best in addition to being one of the cheapest.

The problem with the wireless bars? One more set of batteries to replace. For most AV set ups, the standard wired sensor is fine.
