Beginners should note that if you heat the batteries too much they will explode and cause serious burns. Be cautious, don't apply too much heat/for too long, and wear safety goggles/equipment :) Great tutorial, looking forward to trying this on my own Zelda cart!
an eraser also works great for stripping oxidation off the contacts! I usually hit it with an eraser then alcohol or blue shower, makes it look like new. great video 👍
I wish I knew this as a kid. I had a collection of RPGs(Zelda , Adventure of link, etc) and those games stopped working after a while. I believe it’s due to the battery being dead. Those were my favorite games. All the other games which didn’t have batteries were all working fine.
I did this on the same Zelda cartridge and now when I play on my NES all the graphics are messed up. (The trees have all turned into the Link sprite and Link himself is now a collection of 4 alpha numerical characters that change as you move). Any idea what I did wrong or how to fix this?
Either works. They are both 3v batteries. The difference is the size of the battery which affects the maximum load they can have. The bigger the battery the longer it lasts. Some boards only give you enough room to use the smaller batteries. It's up to your discretion.
@@Rumblefan same. The NES is one of my favorite consoles but they’re reaching the point of being obsolete. I’d love one of those Analog NT consoles but they never stay in stock. Just get bought up and resold any time they come back around.
You need: A screwdriver (ok! So far so good...) And a battery (ok! Obviously... Is that all? Do I need a ...) Tabbed (oh no... Does that mean...) ... Silence ("Ok good, so I don't need -") "Oh and finally, a soldering iron". (&&$-_!!!)
