coffeewithmrsaturn | 100 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for this service or if any members here do it and what the price is. Where do you guys go to get save batteries replaced for Pokemon games? How about internal batteries for clock-based events? Thanks so much!

Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I do it, but no point sending em to me cuz canada. That said, honest truth, it's incredibly easy - I might suggest doing it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 @coffeewithmrsaturn do you mean replace the battery while maintaining any existing save files? Or just a straight battery replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeewithmrsaturn | 100 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 @Deadeye just a straight battery replacement I was under the impression there is minor soldering required (or something along those lines) and it's not a matter of just popping a new one in.

Deadeye | 1,596 Homebrew Team · Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 @coffeewithmrsaturn that is correct. Just making sure you didn't need the saves kept. Then you need keep the power going while you solder on the new battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yes, the process includes some very simple soldering. Remove existing solder > Remove battery > Place new battery > Place new solder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffeewithmrsaturn | 100 Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 So is there anyone around here who does this? I can't remember who offered this service on NintendoAge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutling | 31 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I have replaced a lot of batteries in tons of electronics, consoles, and cartridges. I can replace it for you if you wanted. I am 100% i still have some batteries currently, but cant recall for what system I will have to check when I get home. I would replace them for you free of charge, just shoot me a pm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus | 169 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Do yourself a favor and however you get them done, make sure they use good batteries. The crap batteries flooded on ebay and amazon are junk. IME at least. Use good panasonic batteries from here if you can.https://console5.com/store/catalogsearch/result/?q=battery 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
