Long time. bit distracted between kids and delivery job.

Today, Colton brought me five pokemon gen 2 carts. 4 needing replacement batteries. One... The very expensive Crystal version, that was booting to a black screen. 

There was some tiny issues with the board. Which I cleaned. I started poking the pins to check for continuity to the chips, and found all traces had perfect continuity. Noticed a few suspect looking solder points though. So reflowed the chips with my Atten 862D, and... We have life. (Shoved it into my Hamtaro Shell to test)

Sorted the other carts out with their battery mods, and all was good!
