Wii Remote problems

So I was playing Tennis on Wii Sports this morning, when I decided to play some Wii Play.

I went to the Wii Menu, clicked Wii Play and got ready to play. Only, the Wii Remote wouldn't work.

I looked down at my Wii Remote to find that the light usually on at the bottom wasn't on. Neither was the light on my other controller.

When I press a button on either of them, the four lights flash a bit then they all go back off.

I tried the whole resyncing thing, which I'm pretty sure I did right.

I tried changing the batteries. The problem still persists.

Any ideas?

Nevermind, I fixed it.

If it's happening with both controllers, it's probably a console problem and not a Wiimote problem.

This happened to me once. Turn off the system, unpulg it, and then plug it back in.

I've done that too, like 5 times. Doesn't work either.
