finally dug up my childhood console since my family said it was broken a long time ago, having only played it a couple of times.
the controller powers on, but as soon as I click on any of the applications it shows the screen “could not connect to the wii u console.” (the console is on)
am I just doing something wrong or do I need to get it fixed?

And you have tried this?

Otherwise you likely need to replace the battery:
