Today me and my cousin went to a flea market (This isn't a shitty creepypasta) and there she brought Pokemon Red and a GBC
Pokemon Red and tetris both work fine on it, but tetris' internal battery is dead
However, whenever the Pokemon Red cartridge is placed into the GB, it takes several tries and continuous blowing into the cartridge for it to fianlly work.
When working it plays fine, and still saves and the continue button shows up even after turning it off, so I know its not an internal battery problem.
But whenever the cartridge is taken out for the tetris, the whole blowing into it over and over again happens again but this time, the save is gone.
Is internal battery actually kill? Because if it was then it wouldn't show the "continue" button in the first place right?
Does anyone know how to fix? I'll provide pictures of the gbc and Red.
Image isn't hers btw

Don't fucking blow in the God damn cart you dumb fuck! You're adding to the mildew buildup! Get fucking cleaner and q-tips and scrub those metal contacts. Get a credit 2025 battery and a five dollar soldering kit and attach it the same way the old one was on.

Sounds like the cartridge itself might be damaged, but yeah cleaning the metal contacts like >>32740654 said is your best bet. If it starts working better but your save keeps getting fucked, then you'll know the battery is dead as well.
Luckily it isn't too hard to replace the internal battery, just follow a YT tutorial if you're afraid of fucking something up.

Tetris doesn't have an internal battery you underage faggot.

That's definitely the internal battery. For the Pokémon games, the save will remain for about 15 minutes or until the cart is removed from the system if the battery is dead. I've had it happen before with Silver Version, just change the battery and you're good to go.

Right, but i had the gameboy off for about an hour and even then the save was still there, it's really just the cartridge itself,>>32740654
is right, I just need to clean the contacts and make sure it's not treated like shit.

This has happened to me, if the battery has a loose connection then it will only stay connected while being squeezed together inside the gameboy or if you hold it firmly where the battery is when taking it out.
Ultimately if this is the case you must open it up and secure or replace the battery and might as well replace it so you know its good for 10 years
