So I've just gotten a Wii U for Christmas (Yay!), and all has been fine until I've tried to enter Wii Mode.
As soon as I go on Wii Mode my Wii Remote stops working, and I'm unable to control anything and get past the health and safety screen (Until it goes away by itself - leaving me stuck on the Wii Menu without any control). This might just be me missing something obvious, but any help would be appreciated.

Have you synced the controller to the system?

I've synced the controller to the system, so I've been using it for Wii U games, and it works on the Wii U menu up until I select Wii Mode at which point all lights go off and it stops responding. I don't know if I'm supposed to sync it again as soon as I change to Wii Mode - I'd assumed not but that might be what I'm doing wrong.

You shouldn't have to do that, but why not try it. If it can help I don't see why you shouldn't try syncing it in Wii mode as well.

After taking out and putting the batteries back in a few times it started responding again. I've checked and it seems I need to do this every time I switch to Wii Mode. Not ideal but at least it works now - thanks for the help!

Sounds like an actual problem with the Wiimotes rather than your shiny new Wii U! Still, if you don't mind it, all is well!
