Pokémon Ruby Botched Battery Replacement Repair
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
Received this copy of Pokémon Ruby that was getting a garbled Nintendo logo when inserted into the Game Boy. Let's take a look at the game and see if we can figure out what's wrong. This is my first time filming a repair of any sort so I apologize in advance for the awkwardness. Need a repair?

Hey I need some help with two pokemon games and was wondering where I can contact you
1:28 - The actual begining.
I'd totally buy a custom copy with special design, this is so emotional. You gave it a new life. Beautiful.
I have a Pokemon Ruby cartridge that I tried replacing the battery. It didn't work. Could you possibly fix it?
Hey Cory, are you till taking repair requests?
How do you buy one of those pcbs I followed the link but I don't even know what I'm looking at? 😅
was it possible to make the original pcb battery contacts work by scratching off PCB layers?
The pad was completely torn off of the board, copper and all. I could have replaced the pad and restored the connection. I wanted to make something original. Thanks for watching.
the Deoxys battle music made it way more intense haha
what i always tell people is learn how to solder practice for a while when you are skilled and confident enough then go ahead because its not like you can go to shop and buy a new game
It’s great advice. You can buy soldering practice kits for $1-$2
Hello, I am from the US and need some help fixing my emerald cartridge. I am unsure how else to get into contact with you but would happily pay good money to try and fix it. Thanks, M
How does console killing works?😮
The battery doesn't press against the top half of the shell or is there space made for the battery?
There’s enough clearance for the battery and the shell. If you use a battery holder, or a bigger battery, it will press on the shell and crack it over time.
Hey man, just wondering if you plan on continuing doing videos. I really enjoyed your repairs and there is no other repair channel on YT that matches your style. Hope all is well with you!
Thank you, I appreciate it. I honestly wasn’t expecting it to do as well as it did and it got a bit overwhelming. I’m planning on doing more soon.
Hey Imod, where did you buy the agb e05 01 replacement pcb? My other emerald cartridge needs a new one as its in bad condition, thanks.
It is a little funny yet tragic how many Pokémon carts get destroyed by people trying to solder a new battery in… 😂
Would you ever consider posting links to equipment you use for these repairs? Also do you have any kind of specialized training in this or work in this field (electronics repair)? I’m interested to learn and possibly find a job doing this type of stuff for other applications as well. You definitely have a lot of technical knowledge.
Thank you, I appreciate it. No specialized training. I have a passion for technical hobbies and I find myself engrossed in them. My advice to you would be working on stuff you find interesting. It’s risky but be patient with it. If you’re not skilled enough to pull off a repair shelf it for a while until you build your skill level up.
You have insane skill. Working on electronics this small is so difficult. One wrong move like the original owner of this cartridge did and everything can fail.
Thank you
As someone who eats multiple sandwiches per day, I approve of your video
Thank you
This is what I do for a living.
Sick skill bro
Thank you
What screw driver do you use/recommend for opening Gameboy Advance carts? A standard phillips screwdriver obviously doesn't work. Thank you! Great video!
Pick up an ifixit kit. You need Y and JIS
I made this exact mistake replacing a battery in sapphire. I'm so glad it didn't brick my GBA.
I have an emerald cart with the same exact issue! How can I send it in to you?
What kind of flux is that. The one I have is too sticky so it sucks :/
Amtech 559
I killed my DS Lite the same way but it wasn't on purpose, just a soldering mistake on my PK Sapphire :'(, surprisely my GBA SP didn't die... I did fix the soldering issue on the game and now it boots, but it just won't save anymore, even if it says it did. Maybe one of the capacitors blew? I don't know... I still miss my DS (I replaced the sus fuse but still won't turn on). Great video, mate!
i am so glad i have no games to be saved but i lowkey wish i had a busted game to send you just so i can see another video
i didnt know these things were so intricate
Nice video! That was really cool.
Thank you
the full pokedex with only a mew is crazy
Nice soldering job, Can a person add a battery to the ones that are the reproduction cartridges?
Depends on the repro. You can on some.
Perhaps is possible fix the bootlegs that save on the rom itself too? They use a single chip for both rom and save and instead would be better split them.
Bootlegs are extremely dicey. They often use old stock / counterfeit flash chips. You can find them for a few bucks on AliExpress. If they're giving you a problem, just replace them. Honestly, I'd invest the money into an Everdrive and not have to worry about it.
@@imod.systems for pokèmon games the bootlegs aren't able to work with GC or DS dual slot functions. I made a Water Blue hack rom and cannot works and not even the everdrive could do it.
Great video. Very fascinating.
Can you help me out with an internal battery problem? I changed it and the game still says the internal battery is empty, even though it's a new one. It's so frustrating
Is this a 3rd gen Pokemon game? If so, double check that you didn’t accidentally knock off R9 just above the positive battery pad. It’s very easy to do.
@@imod.systems somehow my answers aren't shown here 🙄
What's the point of putting a battery in an Emerald cart?
Real time clock. There are several events in the game that require the clock to operate. For example, there’s a cave in the game that will adjust the water levels depending on the time of day.
@@imod.systems Aaah. I see. Thank you for the reply
That cart was in tough shape but you brought him back thank you its nice to see my childhood given so much care. Way to many hours playing this pair of games.
I thought you had to soldier with a heat sync? Or is that why the flux does? Genuinely curious been years since I last did it.
Flux is a chemical that cleans oxidation. High heat creates oxides that prohibit solder from making a clean solid connection. Think of it like this. Have you ever put a sticker on a dirty surface? If you have, you’ll notice that it doesn’t stick very well. Now if you clean that surface first you’ll get a very good bond. Flux is the cleaning agent that does that.
Algo recommended this. Liked and subbed. What's the title of the first track? I've been longing to know since I keep hearing it from time to time from random clips
Thank you! It's Sky Skating by Geographer.
This is an awesome in-depth and well made video! I really enjoyed watching. This is the first time watching one of your videos for me, but maybe I'll have to stick around!
Why it said 2002? Pokemon Emerald was released in 2004 in America.
It’s the same PCB used for Ruby / Sapphire. They didn’t change the date. You can figure out when the actual game was manufactured by looking at the 4 rectangles on the back of the board. It’s the date code.
A true credit to your people son. Godspeed & keep up the good work. Your a true champion helping people.
Glad I found you. I may have some repair jobs for you soon. Hope your channel prospers.
Do you do upgrades? I have copies that turned out to be repos. The games work fine, but always has a slight pause when saving.
sim city music in the background, cant ever unhear it
I think you should consider either making two versions of these videos with and without music as I’d vastly prefer just you talking and hearing the actual sound of what’s happening.
I'm not in love with the music, tbh. I feel like I need to to fill the blank space in the video. I'll consider not using it in future videos but I get a lot more comments from people who say they like it, vs dislike it.
I wanna get into my copy and do some fixes on it this is great!😊
I have the same issue ;-; The only thing it cannot kill is a Gameboy Player for a GameCube.
Wtf gloves are you wearing 😂
Anti static gloves for working with electronics.
Where can I contact you to send you my Pokémon emerald game?
that gba looks clean af, did you restore it?
Yeah, I have a collection of modded game boys that I assembled myself.
