So my Silver Version's battery just died :(
Today, for the first time in over a year, i decided to fire up my old Silver version That I got from my parrent christmas 2000, and to my suprise "Continue" Did not show up. I then realized that my internal battery had run dry. I had over 160 hours on it and it was the first videogame i had ever owned.
Im thinking about getting it repaired just so i can play it all over again, so what im asking is: Do you think it is worth going through the trouble of getting it repaired? I have a gameboy and id much rather have MY original cartridge than use an Emulator or something. And im not asking how to repair it or if i can save it or anything. I know the answer to both of those questions, just trying to find out what other fans of the second gen would do if they were in my situation. |
Yep, put a new battery in for sure :D
|
Yeah, I know my save is permanently lost but i think im gonna play through it again, for old times sake. Ive had so many memories with that game, the last place i was was saffron over in kanto, sad just thinking about how i lost the save :(
|
unscrew the back and replace the watch battery, its worth it!
|
Or you can just get a ROM version of Pokemon Silver or just play Pokemon Soul Silver.
:t354:TG |
I think you should definitely get a new battery put in it, Silver is a great game.
|
Most of the GB version of Pokemon Silver are worth less than expected these days. It's better to buy a fresh copy than having to spend money on replacing a dead save battery.
|
I have soul silver and a rom, the main deliema here was it being my first ever gift and wanting to keep the original, well i just got it all set up for repair and payed for the parts, its just to big a part of my childhood to let go ha
|
I was Actually looking online to buy a monster brain when i found out that my game died :(
|
My Silver died sometime last year, however about a week ago I watched my Gold die on me.. :\

What kind of watch battery does the game use? Is it just like changing the battery in a watch? If you had a friend or family member that worked there, you could try taking it to a local hardware or jewelry store. I also don't know how much the batteries cost or if they are typically stocked :/

[QUOTE=MartianOddity;6721768]That sucks, GXS... I'm really sorry you didn't buy it in time. But that's what happens from time to time.
I actually see Monster Brain as something every RBY GSC gamer should have, and that's just for the backup capabilities. The cheating stuff is just a bonus. EVERY GAMER WHO HAS R/B/Y AND/OR G/S/C NEEDS A BACKUP DEVICE. My Red died just a day ago. I saw a Monster Brain for sale, but didn't buy it. Then, when playing Stadium 2, it erased my file. 200 hours down the drain. :'( |
Definitely get it repaired! My Crystal died on me in the same way a few months ago, and I still haven't gotten around to repairing it.
I will at some point though, loading up a cartridge you've had for years into an old GBC or GBA is so awesome! NOSTALGIA! :D |
I can emulate GBC games on my DS, so no internal battery issue for me. Since it's still on a console, I think I still have 97% of the gaming experience. :D I don't see anything wrong with using emulators to be rid of never having to replace another internal battery.

Something like this happened to me. I turned on my Crystal game after over a few years, and I saw the continue in the menu gone. However, I didnt now the battery died. It's been a few days already, and I'm able to save the Crystal game still (except everytime I turn on the game, the times of day is never saved and I can change it)
Does this mean the crystal game battery will restart the game again soon? |

Man, I had two copies of Crystal left, and I lost both of them =/ I REALLY want to play 'em, too. Using an emulator is just not the same; pokemon games are awful on the computer, and I don't alternative means. I'm definitely considering getting another copy now, but I know I'm going to have to change the battery around. Have you found out how much it costs to replace?
And Martian, I know you've done battery replacements, would you say they're easy at all? |
So Good news all, I got my game back and it is in full working condition! I ended up finding someone reputable online with expierence in fixing dry gbc batterys and he did a good job replaceing it.
Thanks for everyones help and opinions, I really appreciate it. |
Glad to hear it! Silver is a great game, and I'm glad it got fixed so you didnt have to replace your childhood present :)
|
my friend has an unopend silver still in the plastic. how much would this be worth?
|
I'm pretty sure I read a tutorial somewhere about this. My Gold and Silver have died but my Crystal is running strong. It doesn't seem to be too difficult unscrewing it and all.

Get it repaired!! I did with my Gold cartridge a year and a bit ago and it's still going strong now - don't tend to play on it all too often but when I do...wow...feel just like I did when I was 9 and played it on my GBA under my duvet when my Mum had turned out my bedroom lights ^_^ ...totally don't still do that now though...honest...-_-
--- HA there's me getting all excited and throwing my advice out there when problem has already been solved. But yeah, great news! :D |
