Ahoy,
I've recently bought a second hand Pokemon Crystal GBC copy. When it arrived it worked fine, but the saves didn't work. So, adventurous as I am, I opened up the cartridge and replaced the battery with a new one (I did this with my silver before, that worked fine). It seemed to me this was done before on this cart, but I am unsure.
I made sure the cartridge/battery didn't get too hot or anything, and I didn't touch anything else with the soldering iron than the battery contacts.
However, when I popped the cart back in my GBASP it shows the gameboy color and nintendo logo, but then it just shows a white screen. Oh teh noes!
I've removed the battery again (hence the meh soldering on the contacts) to check whether that was the problem, but it makes no difference.
Anyone any wisdom on how I *might* be able to fix the cart? I've uploaded pics of the cart, in case that might help.
Thanks in advance,
Niels
