Boxed SNES Legend of Zelda Find and Battery-Back-up Query

[mosesshirai]

Sooooo I go down to Goodwill and get me a boxes LOZ link to the past. It has the map, the little hintbook with the sticker on it, manual, sleeve, and even the little plastic baggie the cart comes in. The Cart is mint. I am so stoked. This is a great find for me. Usually the stufff I get in Hawaii is all damaged from the humidity. I get it home plug it in the SNES and -nintendo- pops up on the screen. I got to start a new game and I can't name or access a save file. Everytime I put the little crosshairs over a letter to name a file a lowercse "w" appears and the game won't start. So I figure the Battery is Dead.

Question 1. How do I replace the battery? The cart has the two little strange hexagonal screws on the lower front of the grey case. Where do I get a tool for those?

Question 2. Won't I mess up the mintness, being the klutz that I am, when I try to pry open the tabs on top?

Lastly its up for trade for a boxed GBC copy of Mr. Driller.( I know I know this last little bit should be in "buying and selling" please don't flame me) :D :D


Thanks in advance for help.

you can try to search www.ebay.com for 3.8mm and 4.5mm screwdrivers. Search for "NES tools".
It cost around 10 - 15 dollars.
These screwdriver can open most cartridges :)
Havnt bothered to get one myself, eventho i have seen a few here for sale.

Yeah, you have to take the two screws out of the bottom front. Be careful when doing this - as you can scrrape up the screw holes with some of the bits that are being sold. You need the 3.8mm bit, but the outer wall of it sometimes makes it too thick to fit into the hole without force.

It might not be the battery. I have a LOZ cart that has a battery "loose" inside, you shake it and it sound like it has a large rock inside, but it will still play. It won't save though. I also have a Lufia cart that has one screw missing and you can look inside and see that the battery is missing, and it will also still play.

When you take the screws out with one of those bit things, the tabs come apart easily without any force required, so you will not mess up the tabs.
