leave it in a glass of water over night to get rid of the glue holding the battery down, then simply slip the new one in its place.

The battery is replaceable, there are tutorials around in youtube or other sites. Be mindful, tho, that all the progress will be lost for the GB and GBC games once the battery runs dry or is changed.

What do you mean the battery is stuck? It's soldered in, it's not supposed to come out easily.

If you aren't able to desolder it, take a thin metal object (I used the blade from a Swiss army knife), put it in between the solder points (the dark spots) and pry the prongs outward. You have to put a bit of force into it to break the solder, but the prongs don't break that easily. Then put the new battery in its place and use electrical tape to keep the prongs touching the battery.

Nice.

Before you put it back together, make sure the electrical tape is wrapped tightly around the battery and prongs. If it comes loose at any point, you're going to lose your data again. Also, you might have trouble getting the cover back on. This is normal, and you can push the battery down slightly if you need to.

>playing an outdated and shitty game
It's half way through 2014 grandpa. Throw that old game in the trash or sell it on ebay. There's no reason why you should be playing that anymore.

it's not going to be worth shit without a working battery
it's also not going to be worth shit unless you have the box and manual
and even then you're looking at a max of 40 bucks if it's in good condition. Chump change. Why the fuck would you not keep it?

That wasn't a shitpost, that was a legitimate suggestion.

There's no reason to play those games anymore other than "muh nostalgia" when the remakes exist and are superior in pretty much every single way.

Because I'll be $20 richer by not hoarding it. That could buy you a nice meal with friends or a cheap game off Steam.

Or you could keep the game, and use $20 without regret because you have a job. Right?
