Question about GBC Cartridge Internal Clock issue

[Tsukimaru]

as the title says, i have some problems with a `s internal clock. it is stucked!!!

i already replaced the game battery, so i dont think that`s the problem.
what do you think guys that may be a solution for this predicament?

Note: im totally sure that it is not the internal battery since i replaced it 2 days ago and the game saves the progress whatsoever and doesnt erase it afterwards

guys please, don`t ignore this because i need someone with a solution otherwise i won`t be able to play my game
thx beforehand for replying

You might have messed up an oscillator....

 

[Tsukimaru]

maybe it was messed up before since i bought it in the black market and i didn`t use any soldiering iron to replace the battery. if the oscilator is the problem, how can i possibly fix it? or is it a dead end?

 

[superben51]

Its probably a dead end unless you know what the speed of it was and are up to soldering on a new one. But that might not even be the problem post some pics of the board with camera that has a macro lens so we can see.

Telling us what game it is would be nice, too. Maybe its a common issue.

As I said, i just bought it in the black market, so i don`t know how old the cartridge is :/

Huh? do you mean flea market? or do you mean somebody actually stole this and sold it.

uhh.. i think it fits both descriptions i live in central america and that market is like all about "devious bussiness".

i got the game for U$8.00, and i thought it was a fair offer. dunno if it is stolen anyway:/

This is clearly bootleg. Did you ever see the internal clock work at all? Considering shoddy workmanship and general bootleg nature maybe it never worked in the first place.

Well, i havent seen it work since i created a save. the hour and date is stucked, but the play time is being counted with no problems at all. d u think i can do anything to help it?
