Not knowing how long the remote has been idle....were the batteries taken out?
If not and left long enough the batteries will corrode or weep at the seems.
Be sure to clean the coil springs and the fixed contact at the other end.
If the remote is not lighting up first thought is bad remote. Do you know anybody else that has a Wii? Rec centers?
Take your remote to see if they or it works with another box. Or get a known good remote to see if the unit is OK?
This should at least help isolate where the problem might be.
