How to Fix Your Dying Save Batteries in Retro Games
46Many older game cartridges have a small battery inside to allow you to save your game by storing your progress in volatile memory. After all of these years, these batteries are finally dying, thus making it impossible to continue to save where you are.
In this video, I walk you through exactly what tools you need and how to replace these batteries and even a couple of ways to still retain your save data while replacing the aging battery with a new one (assuming it is not already dead!)
I included as many pointers and general soldering tips as I could to make this as easy as possible! Even if you have little to no experience soldering, this guide should help you out! Of course, this video offers up no warranty against personal injury or property damage. Be careful out there!
