Why won't my Game Boy game save? Most Game Boy (Original, Color and Advance) cartridges that allow games to be saved contain a small internal battery to store your save states. Over time, this battery degrades and needs replacement.
When these games were developed, flash memory was very expensive, and so volatile memory powered by a small battery was often used instead. NES, SNES, and N64 cartridges also used such batteries for storing saved games.
Use this send-in service to get 1 Game Boy, Game Boy Color, or Game Boy Advance game's internal battery replaced with a brand new one.
We now offer digital backups of your game and save data. Allowing you to preserve your data forever and allow you to port your save over to an emulator for playing on your PC. This service comes with an extra cost, contact us for more info regarding price.
Once you have placed your order, include in the order notes the title of your game that requires a battery replacement for better identification.
For where to send the game ask in direct messages.
Once we get it, turn-around time is typically 1/2 days, then we send the item back with tracked and signed post service.
Once we get your cartridge, we open it up, clean all the PCB, clean your contact pins, and then replace your game save battery with a brand new battery.
