Thank you for the guide! Resurrected a Gameboy Pocket today that has graphical glitches on the boot screen and sometimes crashed mid-game when a cartridge could load. This process seems to have completely remediated that.

I only needed to complete through step 6 to get clean shiny contacts in my case.

Much better than the usual battery replacement guides! Most of those are practically useless as they do little more than say, “replace the batteries,” which is pretty much self-evident, and noting, “clean any corrosion,” without explaining how to do that!

Is there a corresponding guide for cleaning the sections of the battery terminal which are fixed to the board, i.e. not shell-side?
