Gameboy Pocket Repair Help Please
fiatbravodriver:
Hello. Does anyone have experience with repairing a Gameboy Pocket. I have just obtained one and its brilliant condition but does not power up.
Upon taking the back case off it became clear it has been subject to a battery leak sometime in its life.
I'd really like to get it all going again.
Where should I start? I should note my electrical repair skills are very poor.
(Apart from send it to Wiggy ;D but he must be far too busy changing nappies).
Arseen:
It might as simple as cleaning the battery contacts.
fiatbravodriver:
Thanks Arseen, I am on the case now with a cotton bud and some acetone.

Might need bit more abresive (stop when you see clean metal).

x2 on a cleaning likely solving the issue./
