How to replace the battery in a gameboy cartridge.
No sound. FAQ:
q: How did you melt the pen?
a: I held it over a candle. Not into the flame, but very close. When it started to deform, I knew it was molten. It was the plastic part only.
q: How did you remove the old battery?
a: I ripped the welds between the battery and its holders carefully, not to damage the solders between the holders and the circuitboard.
q: What did you scratch!?Why?
a: The lower battery holder. My ripping skills turned out to be inadequate to perfectly perform that ripping on them, so in this case I just cut it with a scissors. It became flat, which is bad if i want good, reliable contact with them, so I scratched it to make its surface rougher.
q: Where can I buy that specific button cell?
a: Well I bought it in a cell shop in Hungary, where I live.
Giving directions to that shop probably won't get you closer to the solution. All I can say is to google it!
q: The tabs are broken. what to do?
a: This guy may have the answer.:
