Are you British? *curious* Thanks for the help. My Ruby told me its battery died and I'm pretty miffed. I appreciate the help.

[EdericEDDY]

@TheMightyX I am not british by nationality or origin, but I do live there (here?).

A CR2025 would work on a GBA cartridge?

[vivsnakehips]

It works! I used a CR1616 battery and a try wing screwdriver both from amazon, only cost about £2. The hard part was getting the contacts off the dead battery. I used a pen knife to get in between the battery and the contact. The bottom (right hand side) one came away easiest. After that I could get a grip on the battery and pry off the top one. It took a bit of brute force but the contacts came off intact. I just taped in the new battery nice and tight and it worked fine.

@thethiny re-attach CAREFULLY.



[thethiny]

@herogodman76 yes

[thethiny]

I have mistakenly removed 1 tab , what to do?

[herogodman76]

Will my saved game reset?

[RickSlagers]

It worked for me, thanks! Had to reset my game for my clock settings tough...

[posztoka]

@MrMacGrungy For me it still works, I cannot predict until when...it probably also depends on the quality of the battery.

[MrMacGrungy]

@posztoka How long does it last though?
