Any idea on how to fix this? My only wii remote

go to the "aliexpress" site to replace your broken part.

or buy another used wiimote for cheap.

You can buy a new part, dissolder the old broken one and solder the new one.

Or you can remove the rest of the broken spring and use some aluminum paper between the battery and the metal part.
It will keep the battery in place and will conduct electricity from the battery to the metal part to make the controller work.

Oof... unless you can find the same springy part there's not much you can do.
Also, there's a hint of blue in what's left from that part ehich means that it's rusty and it won't conduct electricity properly even if you manage to make it work with additives.

I'd just replace the part entirely, GBAs has those I think, or in a desperate move, I'd make the part myself with a paper clip.

This is the part you need: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805677167287.html

It includes the battery spring contacts for both sides.

And if you need to replace the nunchuck port for some reason, there's a replacement part for that, too.

The GBA battery contacts only work for the other side. Not the PCB.

These are for the battery to battery (- to +) contacts only. These do not replace the soldered-in contacts to the PCB.

Would not recommend using a knock-off Wiimote just because homebrew tends to be incompatible with a lot of those types of controllers.
