“My Mate VINCE”
In this video I look at a Game Boy game sent in by Owen, it stopped working after the battery was changed over. Can it be fixed and work again? Let’s find out.

i think its good practice to go backwards first when screwing into plastic until you hear it click back into the original thread.
You can buy very cheaply replacement gameboy stickers
Margot heard you have a Rolls.
I've seen another video of someone fixing a lot of Gameboy Cartdridges.
And the loose pin seem to be a common fault.
So next time you have a dead Gameboy or Gameboy Advance cartdridge, check the pins of the chips.
Vince the man the machine 😂
Margot is always sniffing around now you’ve got a Rolls Royce.
👍😊
Great job and great video 😁👍 well done mate
That game brings back fond memories. I used to have that on the OG DMG Gameboy. BTW I have that same green GBC (bought it from a dead guy lol)
You can get after market carts for just a few dollars.
I'm so glad you didn't try the spot welder on the small lithium/silver cells, I tried it once, and the battery exploded, so I don't recommend it. I'm usually not bothered much by doing stuff to batteries, but I definitely stopped soldering and spot welding those kinds of cells. I wouldn't say you have had many failures Vince, if so, you fix a lot more than you fail, and some are exceedingly difficult. I have been watching your channel for a long time, Vince, and you have become so proficient at things that used to stump you in the past. Removing chips has become second nature to you, soldering very small components and attaching wires to broken circuits, to name a few skills you have become good at. But the list is endless. Thank you for the videos Vince they inspire others to become proficient at the things you do, even though they are not copying what you do.
As far as i know are these loose pins a common problem just ask tronix. He has some videos of that.
hey,,, i seen a tick tok video of a diy..
use baking soda & super glue the stuff with a needle tip that sticks to everything, fill the hole with baking soda the glue will absorb into it, then drill a new hole 🙂 makes its better then factory 🙂
@My Mate Vince, you can purchase replacement shells for the Game Boy cartridges, as well as labels for your games.

Broken joint on the top left of that chip is superrr common, if I repair these games ever and it’s not that I almost always reflow the pins to be safe
CR2025s will fit in there, indeed even CR2032s will, regardless of what it says on the board. The GBA carts can only fit CR1616s though.
Hi Vince, nice straightforward fix. The next time you deal with such holes vs screws, fill it & drill it. Remember the super-glue and baking soda technique OR super-glue on cotton wool.
I thought the doorbell was gonna be a pcbway segway lol
Ere.. yo O rye "My Mate Vince"?
Err-Hope things improve soon..
APU 👁👍
Love your persistance Vince, most would give up after visual inspection.
The curse is now over …….. or is it? Well done Vince a nice quick fix thanks 😊
Lose pins and connections is a common problem because of this lead free solder these days. leaded solder is much more durable in the long run
The blue Lock tight is what i use when the screws dont tighten properly it fills the gap just put a dab on the screw wait a bit then screw it in. For the batteries 2032's do fit in regular gb games but interfere with the case on gb color games but they can be offset a bit to work since those cases are clear they might not look pretty but works.
grerat video vince if you wanted to you could replace the label with a nice reproduction one
0:52 You can re-use that 2nd Class LARGE stamp 😉
Just repaired one of these for a friend with the same issue of not booting and it ended up just being a cracked solder joint. Excited to see how this one turns out.
Only you can find something like this
Happy for you, enjoyed the positive outcome, thanks for sharing.
Additionally I do have a LOZ:;Link"s Awakening cart for Gameboy Colour, which I've had from new that probably has the same battery type, which probably needs a change, so a useful video too, thanks.
You pierced Pikachu witch screw! Shame!
👍👍
My son who is 40 years old still has all his Pokémon cards from when he was young.
Well done, Vince! Those are the fixes we long for. It's such a relief to get an easy fix every once in awhile that keeps us going and keeps our spirits up. Nice trick too on collapsing the screw hole a bit to deal with the stripped bit causing the screw to fall out!
There are other channels who repair these ones, and that chip always have a loose leg! 🙂
13:08 is it me only because I don’t get this joke
Brilliant!!! Regards those Pokémon carts on the Gameboy – there are so many of them! You gotta collect em all! And then replace the battery on every one lol
Vince a quick question
I’m thinking of buying a Xbox s seller says it needs an update there’s an error 102 is it fixable????
I replaced the tabbed batteries in my games with some CR1616 battery holders. I've heard about shoddy quality on some of the batteries that are available and with a holder it's even easier to replace the next time.
RESULT!❤
The pin being loose is a common problem with all gameboy games, since they flex over the years.
Damn Barbie won’t leave Vince alone
Vince what is your PO BOX ADDRESS . I have a beautiful Acer Aspire 1355LC from around 2004 . It turns on but the keyboard dos'nt work and it's a new keyboard i bought for it. The dvd player is missing and no hard drive. But it's in mint condition . Be a good candidate for can you fix it video. I don't want it back you can keep it.😃
Nice little fix VInce 👍 I was wondering what the problem was as you couldn't really see anything obvious. Well done 🙂
Can only assume the door bell ring was Nintendo Switch coming by to see if your ready for them 😛
Hello my mate Vince
It's crazy how many Gameboy game issues tend to be one leg that has a bad joint and needs to be re-soldered.
Piundland a pack of various for…… A quid. For the screw why dodnt you just put a flat plate at the other side so it can not poke through and the screw will geip
