This Nintendo Game & Watch belongs to a viewer, he says that it's got fresh batteries in but won't come on at all.
Let's see if we can work out why!
Hope you enjoy!
Steve

My father was a watchmaker and had a small jewelry, optics and watch shop when I was young. Here in Germany those "Game and watch" things were sold under the "Seiko" brand in watchmaker's shops. So I was a very happy kid in the early 1980s. It was always a challenge for me, though, to keep those things clean and un-scratched so my dad could still sell them when I was done with the game.... Nice memories.

​@donnierussellii4659 Seiko also did a collaboration with Capcom for Street Fighter V watch. But yeah, Seiko definitely didn't make any video games handheld. Personally I was never a fan of Game & Watch always thought they had inferior games that weren't that fun to play.

I wanted to give you an advice multiple times, but this episode is perfect for it. Never make any "hard" structural connections that "fight" against vibrations/deformations. It's much more reliable to make the connections using thinner wire and allowing them to float/bend/flex in those cases where a contact has potential to move. This comes from many years of experience. I did this mistake many times before :)

Agreed, and let me add another advice to this. When repairing battery corrossion damage, work extremely thouroughly or the forming of new damage will go on. Remove ALL "chrystals" and rinse the PCB to neutralise this stuff, or it will go on eating the PCB.

@Dukefazon
@Dukefazon Месяц назад
Every time you are dealing with stuff like this always suspect a battery leakage because people always leave the batteries inside these little thingies. And always clean the carbon pads, maybe it's just dirty contacts. Also, check the faceplate that came off, the sound issue might be something as simple as you didn't turn on the sound (the faceplate shows which button does what). And when you are repaining corroded traces, make sure you remove EVERY bit of damaged material because the acid that caused the damage can still seep forward under the OG soldermask if you don't clean it properly. Fixing the currently broken trace is not enough.

This was exactly that game that started how Nintendo came to Sweden. Owe Bergsten the owner of the a small radio dealer (Bergsala) visited Japan in 1981 where he bought it on his way home. Later Bergsala did a collaboration with Nintendo for Sweden and later the entire Nordic region (except Iceland). A fun fact that Sweden could have been the first in the world to bring in the Famicom (outside Japan). But Nintendo pulled out when the deal was almost done. Nintendo decided to wait with the launch of the Famicom in Sweden because Nintendo of America was going to test the market in the fall of 1985 in New York for a redesigned model that was named the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). In addition, Nintendo thought there would be problems if Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland had a Famicom console while the rest of European countries had an NES console. Edit: Thanks for all the love (thumbs up) guys!

Damn that was some serious surgery and follow up procedure to get that down, worth it though given the age and value on those things now. 20 years ago I had about that many of them, real pleasure, but these days down to just a few and the price isn't worth it anymore. I really wish Nintendo would do a phone app of theirs to do this or some kind of game suite package on Switch/sequel handheld. I've still got Super Mario Bros, Pinball, Bombsweeper, and Mario Cement Factory (and the Nelsonic Zelda Watch) so it's better than nothing for sure, wish I still had Climber and Balloon Fight but the prices are what nightmares are made of. :D
