Mr. Sask Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Hi there: Here in Regina, SK, we have a store called Cashopolis. They specialize in stocking old systems and games - stuff that you can only find on ebay. I manged to pick up a Genesis, two controllers, NHLPA 93 (in box and instructions), and NHL 94 (in box and instructions). I'm living the glory days! These games are more fun that anything out there today. You don't need to take a course in how to operate them (like new games). Just slap the cartridge in and you are ready. It's great! I was wondering if anyone out there has every tried to replace the back-up battery? I took the 94 case apart and it looks like I could take the old one out and replace it. It is attached to a metal clip though. The battery is a watch-type that is about the size of a nickel. Anyone out there ever tried this?

Xstioph Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I once wanted to do this to my (NES) Legend of Zelda cartridge, but I didn't wanna break anything so I gave up... That battery was also attached to some sort of clip. Maybe there are some info/tutorials on how to replace 'em if you search on google.

Evan Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Yo check this out, apparently it is possible? I might get one of these and test since I have a cartridge that doesn't save records anymore (battery is gone). It's my original cartridge from 1993 or 1994.

segathon Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Here's a link that explains it genesis battery change I have done it a few times, getting the security bit helps a lot, but I did not use any other tools. I just took off the battery with a butter knife and taped a new one on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
