You can buy a new part, dissolder the old broken one and solder the new one.

Or you can remove the rest of the broken spring and use some aluminum paper between the battery and the metal part.
It will keep the battery in place and will conduct electricity from the battery to the metal part to make the controller work.

Oof... unless you can find the same springy part there's not much you can do.
Also, there's a hint of blue in what's left from that part ehich means that it's rusty and it won't conduct electricity properly even if you manage to make it work with additives.

I'd just replace the part entirely, GBAs has those I think, or in a desperate move, I'd make the part myself with a paper clip.

This is the part you need: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805677167287.html

It includes the battery spring contacts for both sides.

And if you need to replace the nunchuck port for some reason, there's a replacement part for that, too.

The GBA battery contacts only work for the other side. Not the PCB.

These are for the battery to battery (- to +) contacts only. These do not replace the soldered-in contacts to the PCB.

Jeannotte mentioned this (AliExpress) .... Look into it & save yourself from a straightjacket ;)
Look how cheap (Postage not clear) (Perhaps a scam ? ) :

Would not recommend using a knock-off Wiimote just because homebrew tends to be incompatible with a lot of those types of controllers.

    usb expansion? I know the PS4 can do this
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh Yea I recall my PS3 can do that
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Modded ofc
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Speaking of my PS3 i havent downloaded any games yet bc my wifi is too slow
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    and also because blackouts here are very common and that could damage the console
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    Do you have a surge protector or an UPS?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea but to play the next gen games, you must have those games on internal, or buy the official ssd expansion cards, which are expensive
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, dunno what each one of those are
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, my PS3 was already modded when my dad bought it for me and my brother
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    A surge protector is a device that protects your electronics from fluctuations. I recommend having your console plugged into one of those
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    An UPS is even better because it has an internal battery that keeps your system on even if the power goes out, but it's much more expensive obviously
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, oh i recall seeing one in some in the houses of some relatives, including my dad's apartment
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, although whatever device we plug into them stops getting power anyways lol
  • MysticStarlight @ MysticStarlight:
    that's weird
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @MysticStarlight, and oh i was talking about ups
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    No not that one
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Surge protectors are what i was talking about
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Yea I got confused for a bit

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the series s/x you can use a external HD but any next gen games must be on your internal ssd, or you can buy a ssd expansion card, but pricey. Any xbone, 360, or og Xbox games can be played from external tho.
