Hi,
I had some friends bring me a gamecube that won't save the system settings. My guess is that the battery is dead, but I replaced the internal battery and the same problem persists.
It's a little odd, because the Gamecube doesn't just say that the system settings need to be set (like if it was new out of the box) it recognizes that the system settings were once correct and that they are now lost. This would lead me to believe that there might actually be something else wrong.
I'm not the handiest with a soldering iron so I suppose it's possible I didn't do the best job or that I heated up the battery so much that I fried it, but both seem unlikely.
If anyone has had this problem and has any ideas on how to fix it I would appreciate it. And please spare any suggestions about sending the Gamecube into Nintendo for repair, you can almost buy a new one for the cost of repairs.
Thanks,
Wyatt
