How to Repair a GameBoy Color Game

2011-03-14T17:31:00.000-07:00

This article is a photo enhanced how-to guide for repairing GameBoy games with a dead save. If you recently turned on a old game for the first time this decade, only to find that all your childhood progress had been deleted, then it was probably because the save battery died.

First you need to gather up some supplies. You'll need the following:

Small needlenose pliers (or a screwdriver that fits the weird screw on the back of the cartridge)
Electrical tape
One CR2025 watch battery
A soldering iron and solder (optional)
Scissors
A knife

First, open up your batteries. It can be any 2025 battery. They usually come in two packs, but you only need one.

Next you'll need to remove the 6-point star screw on the back of the cartridge. If you have a special screwdriver for it, great; if not, find some really small needlenose pliers.

Once the screw is out, pull up on the top of the cartidge and slide it open. It should look something like this.

Now you'll need to pry the metal conductor tabs off of the current battery. It takes a little work because the metal is actually stamped into the metal of the battery, two times each on top and bottom. Pry away with a small knife or similar item, and it doesn't matter too much if you bend the strips.

It'll look like this after you remove the battery.

The positive side of the new battery should face up, but it may vary from company to company, so make sure yours is the same. Once the old battery is out, get out one of your new batteries and set it to the side. Now peel off a strip of electric tape about 4 inches long and cut off about 1/4 inch of the long side of the tape. (My measurements may be a little off.)

Now wrap the smaller piece of tape around the very edge of the new battery and cut off any excess.

Now place it back in between the connectors, positive side up.

From here, you can go one of two ways. You can either try to solder the connectors back onto the new battery (as seen here):

Or you can just roll up some electrical tape and use that to keep pressure between the battery and the plastic casing. I tried to solder it (and so did my brother) but it was taking forever and the tape worked fine. Just roll up a few inches, with the sticky part facing outward and place it on top of the battery connector as shown.

After that you just need to replace the top of the case by sliding it back into place. Of course, this won't return any lost saved games but it does allow you to save new ones. Good luck and happy gaming!

This is a short video I made for people who want to learn the new way to get into Karazhan Crypts. This method is for rogues only but you can do it with a level 16 rogue and a high level friend.

My character's name is Samine and I play on Ravenholdt.

And if anyone wants to follow me on youtube, feel free.

Being jobless and only going to college online leaves me with a lot of free time. I read (on my third Christie Golden WoW lord novel this month), write and play campaigns in D&D, try to teach myself Maya 3D, clean, and sleep a lot but then there's video games. They're on a separate level of dedicated time and yet I'm always craving more. But I do agree that time you enjoy wasting isn't really wasted time.

Lately I've been playing WoW, minecraft (shit's addicting), Sims 3 (I just like to build houses), CoD Black Ops and yet I still wish I could afford to buy New Vegas, Rock Band 3 and Assassin's Creed 2.

What's wrong with me?

Here's a sweet little button for anyone to wants to donate to jobless college student. I might even reciprocate!

Hopefully I can update this site from my iphone in Anaheim... Either way, there should be plenty of sweet pics and video straight from Blizzcon after I get back to Henderson. Oh and, it would be awesome if any visitors to this site could click on a couple of the ads while you're here, I get paid if you do (and all of them are 100% tested and virus free).

Recently quit WoW (a couple months ago) and even more recently decided to get back into when Cataclysm comes out. Samine, my level 80 rogue was doing over 12,000 dps on Saurfang in 25 man ICC when I quit, I wonder if anyone has caught up to that yet. Bitches mad cause they gettin' beat by a chick?

Eh. Done.
