Secrets To Fixing Faulty Game Boy Games!

About this video

Dead Game Boy cartridges are the subject here, with the techniques the maker has shared with game shops and a lesson on replacing the failed save batteries.

Good to know: Use a cell with solder tabs already fitted and solder only the tabs. Never put an iron on the cell itself, and never short or charge it. Leaked residue is corrosive. Soldering means burns and fumes.

Why watch it

Two jobs share the video, reviving cartridges that will not start and swapping save batteries that have died with age, so a game that boots but loses saves needs only the second.
