"now treat this like its your willy"
dude I lost it. just your tone when you said it made it hilarious.
Thanks for posting that and spoiling it for me, dick.
hej med jer alle sammen med en af de andre i samme periode sidste år og har 666
?
Youve nearly butchered your willy😄 thanks for the upload
Yeah, stick a surgical knife in it....
Jesus! I wouldn't do that to my willy!
Maybe he's circumcised, that's why.
Your knife handling skills scare the crap out of me.
I used a guitar pick believe it or not! It actually worked!
I used the pen method to open my Gold Version, then followed your instructions, stabbing myself in the thumb in the process, but game saves now without issue! Thank You for saving nostalgia for me!
Tip: use a small precision flathead screwdriver instead of using a knife to get it off cleaner.
That's what SHE said.
@@28SNaKeS bruh
A little bonus to this too: You can use the slightly bigger CR2032 as it'll still fit in the cart just fine. Same voltage as the CR2025, but more capacity so it'll last longer. :D
PkGam would any battery work as long it’s the same voltage?
@@MrMajorasmask101 as long as it is the same voltage and it fits in the case
I just used a CR2032 and it’s worked perfectly. Nice tight fit so didn’t need to use tape either. Cheers for the advice!
This should be titled how to replace a battery the ghetto way haha
'Treat it like your willy' best sentence ever lmao.
+Joshuaaaaaawy
I was about to comment the exact same thing lol
Joshuaaaaaawy so beat the fuck out of it?
This is smashing. Bloody batteries die after 10 years and luckily there's a solution. Let's celebrate over some tea mate.
Noel López lol you cheeky devil😂😂😂.
As an American, I’ll have A Lipton.
Just solder a new one on lol
Thanks! Just fixed my ancient Zelda - Links Awakening game. It has a CR-1616 battery but I used a 2025 anyway. That old one lasted from 1993 until a few months ago!
watch austins even video this one sucks
It Works!!THANK you very MUCH!! Just now, I replaced the save battery of my Pokemon Gold cart exactly the way you told me. Then, I turned on the game and played for a few minutes, got my first Pokemon and set up the time. I saved the game. Then I turned my Game Boy off and back on. And it actually kept my data!!! CHILDHOOD RELIEVED! One more great Pokemong game back in my collection.😅😅😅😀
I'd recommend measuring 2 & 1/4 lengths of the battery for the electrical tape and carefully flattening the battery contacts with flat nose/head pliers before sticking to the tape.
You my good sir are a legend ! Spent 3 hours on Pokemon and the game didn’t save 🙈 had no idea there was a battery in there ! Cheers dude !
Same!!!
It was very hard to get that stupid back tab off the battery. But I got it off, and the saves are working again
I nearly destroyed its a miracle it worked the conduct and save again
Worked perfect for some pokemon quarentine nostalgia. Thanks!!
I remember back in the old days when my Super Mario Bros saves got deleted and I didn't know how! Thanks for this video :)
Thank you for the video. Just fixed both my gold and silver versions!
Thank you for this tutorial! I just finished changing the first battery, which will be followed by many others.
Please don't use this method. This is absolute laziness to the extreme.
Desolder the battery properly and replace it with the correct tabbed cell.
Finally. I was looking for a good video of this
Thank you so much this worked for my RC-2 memory card cartridge for a 1986 Kawai K3 synthesizer keyboard
Maybe a little late, but if your game has a CR1616 built in (like my Pokemon Gold) you can still use a CR2025, it just needs a little bit more fitting in and twisting the tape. Voltage is the same, but higher capacity and thus more time in between battery changes :)
"treat it like its your willy"
*proceeds to mangle the battery holder*
I was super careful with it and this operation took me 2 and a half hours, I really didn't want to destroy my Pokemon Gold cartridge. This was totally worth it though.
THANK YOU! I went out and bought a copy of Pokemon Crystal and Gameboy Advanced SP (you don't even want to know the price I spent on all this) and of course my copy had a dying battery. But thanks to this video Pokemon Crystal is alive and well again. Thank you so much.
thanks for the Vid mate. was able to replace the battery with confidence after watching this. Good thinking with the electrical tape :) will make replacing the battery in the future a lot easier.
this helped me alot. now I can finally play my old silver again. this time Ill get the crobat and umbreon! :D thanks!
I had the right battery, but when I tried removing the old battery, I accidentally broke up the negative prong, but I solder back in, did the same basic you did and my brother's Wario Land game still works and the game save worked perfectly.
Man, I'm deeply satisfied, after 3 long years waiting on wanting help replace the battery for my brother's game. Thanx a bunch. And thank the lord.
If you have a soldering iron, why not just replace it with solder which is apparently "The right way to do it"
@@madcorndog It isn't just "apparently the right way to do it"
It's ABSOLUTELY the right way to do it. Use a soldering iron and de solder the battery properly.
You are the best! It's really hard to find this game bit in my country so that pen trick is really helpful!!
Soldering the terminals would look so much more professional though. Glad this worked for you!
Would it really matter? The board is gonna be placed inside cartridge anyway 🤦♂️
@@RR-cg2rq It might matter to some...not everyone would be happy with half-assed work like you are.
@@alexcameron2880 ohhh. Why are you crying? Did I insult your inner nerdiness?
@@alexcameron2880 hey. It's not my fault your sissy-ass always cries whenever you see unsoldered batteries 😂
@@RR-cg2rq Big talk from a keyboard bitch. You're the one commenting on my comment. Get over yourself, kid.
Thanks! I just replaced the battery on my copy of Silver using your vid~
Worked fine for me. Thank you.
WOOP!!! Fixed it i always thought was dead been 10 years broken. Awesome video great tutorial. Was hard to find one without a winey kid or fat old guy that you couldnt understand
hey! i have that colour gameboy!! lol thanks for posting the video, i plan to fix mine in a couple days
I used a 1/8" nut driver borrowed from my dad's toolbox and it worked great. Thanks for the tutorial! My game's been busted for years and now it works like new
Cheers kid im trying to fix one for my grandaughter this has been really helpful
Thank you for showing how its done
just change the battery on my blue verson, tweezers work very well, and a thin know and gental had help thanx so much for this video youre my hero
I needed to know the battery name thanks haha this video is great
thanks man that helped my pokemon yellow now to fix my Crystal version
I be played zelda ocarina of ages now as my save file got deleted as I had an old battery in thanks for showing us (:
The melted pen/screwdriver method really works
I feel like the 11th Doctor just walked me through this. hah. This is perfect. Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks Ed !!! You’re a legend . This works 100% if you see this comment . Oct 3rd , 2022
i love u man i did this on pokemon gold i while back and it worked and now my whole gen 2 back yay gold and silver restored =P
Glad to hear it dude. Enjoy :)
helped a lot man thank you
I'm gonna try doing it tomorrow for my brother's "Wario Land" game, I have 2 batteries and one of them match which is CR1616. So I'm going back to TheSource to return those batteries and exchange for the CR1616.
This worked! Thanks!
Worked for me on my brother's copy of Crystal - thanks for the tutorial
+benvw1999 lol on yours brothers...
thanks for your video - sensational information. cheers.
you are a life savior!
Ordering sum batteries now!
“Treat this like it’s your willy” 🤣🤣
This worked. Thanks so much
I’m gonna try this for my
Gold and silver. I hope this works good I’m stoked thanks man. Remember treat it like my Willy!
Thanks helped a lot!
Glad I could help :)
treat it like your willy. hahahaha
Most entertaining how to i've ever seen
Strange, PKMN Silver is the one I wanted to change also ^^
I'm with gold
yellow here
MoreObsidianWarrior H I'm Gold too.
Dogfartface crystal version is where its at
I'm here with silver also. You think these games got played a lot so the battery ran out or did Nintendo use shoddy batteries on Pokemon games?
awesome vid this helped out a lot
worked like a charm
I heard in your tutorial that you said if you didn't have a gamebit that you could melt the end of a plastic pen. I was wondering if you could direct me to the tuturial in which shows how to melt the end of a plastic pen. Thank you very much and this video was very helpful.
Awesome, I soon probably have to do this. XD Found some ol games.
Looking at the old battery, it's a Maxell CR1616 3V lithium coin battery. So, I went to the store and got an Energizer (I couldn't find Maxell) CR1616 3V lithium coin battery (it's the same kind for watches, calculators, electronic car keys, etc.). Well, here it goes....
IceCrossFire YES! It worked!
Cr1616 not 2025 ? i believe that 2025 will last longer
I recommend this for money saving if u break the tabs just resolder then tapr
my zelda game has been dead for years and thx to you, i can finally save again
anonymous yay! You found it in the Shrine of Ressurection!
That's the same Pokemon game my sister has! Great video, btw!
Wow, it's much easier with a knife. Thanks!
Worked perfect, tweasers to get the screw out. Flat screw driver to pry off the tin and needle nose players to flatten the tin straight!
Worked thanks 🙏
Man i did the same process and it worked! altought i would like to point out that i took a bit more of care than u did there XD...youre probably not aware.... but your tutorial is also a proof of the resistance of these cartridges! thank you an be carefull with your knife!
hey i saw your video. i did something simmilar but first i removed them from the game. then instead of a knife ifound that using a twizzels helps to make a much more clean removal. and with anothe tool i flatten the metal braces. i liked this solution rather than paying much extra for random batteries comming from china
Narrator: "Treat this like it's ya willy"
*goes on to gently push it with a knife*
Thank you for preparing that bento mum.
I have a Pokemon Gold cart that does not save. Question: Once you have replaced the save battery, did you turn the Game Boy off and the turned it back on, and the data you have saved is actually saved?
THANK YOU!!!
i was replacing my own gameboy games battery and did everything exactly how you did it, but the new battery didn't work
why is that?
Wrong battery, bad contact. Many things can be at fault here. Maybe you know someone with a solder thingy. It's fairly easy and not as janky
@@Lowkas And a lot safer
Because this method is garbage and will ruin your game. Plenty of proper soldering videos on TH-cam, and the correct batteries are dirt cheap online, you can by a soldering iron for $15 on Amazon, or spend more for a better quality one.
Thank you for your help
Good job and thank you for the lesson.

Anyone know how close to the original 3V a gameboy game battery requires to function properly? And at what point will it fail? 2V? 1V?
I have multimeter..
It worked!
Hi. Its called a gamebit, you can buy them on ebay. Hope that helps. Ed.
You can find these batteries on Amazon
helpful. thanks!
treat it like its your willy treat it right and it will treat you right you the first guy to make me laugh from a tutorial XD keep posting your good =P
Never do any of this... ever. I died inside watching this.
I accidentally broke off one of the pieces holding the battery. Will it still work with tape?
For a safer alternative I used a thin guitar pick to pry open the metal prongs and whatdaya know it worked ^w^
“Treat it like your willy”
How to circumcise yourself
just did this to 2 copies of gold version and they it fucking worked they both save without deleting! thank you very much for this video
If I change the battery will have my previous save back?
anyone watching this do not remove these kind of batteries with a blade, use a soldering iron on the contacts on the board and replace with the correct type of batteries with the tabs u can get em off ebay 4 like $3 aud a piece
Neneko Hidaka those batteries are shitty though
@@hoodedman07
Mate I want to play Pokemon, I'm not gonna learn to soldier
@Neneko Hidaka it still works. I put a bigger battery in mine as well....I only had a 2035 and it still fits and works
Used soldering iron to detach. Also used original prongs after careful removal from battery with jewellery plyers.
@@night0wl213 people who just want to play the game aren't gonna do that....just because big youtubers say to do it that way doesn't mean the cheap way doesn't work.
So I have done this awhile back i believe when it first came out long ago and it worked. But now I am wanting to sell crystal version but am wondering will they accept a game that’s had battery changed like this at a local shop or will they not take it, does anyone know?
No collector will accept this. Maybe a new battery that was soldered in place, but not this hack job.
Not sure. Some types of tape will conduct electricity, which will wreck your circuit if you try it. It is called electrical tape for a reason.
electric tape wont melt or hurt the game in any way?
You could use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the tabs. It might take a little more time, but it's the same principle, and poses a markedly lower risk of stabbing yourself :)
Yes it does :)
Broke the contacts, any change tk connect them without soldering
Which kind of tape?
