Inleiding
If your Gameboy Pocket is not powering on properly, there are a number of things you can try. One of the easiest methods is to clean out any corrosion there may be in the battery terminals, which could be interfering with the battery connection.
This guide will walk you through the removal and cleaning of the shell-side battery terminal (the one not attached to the motherboard) to get your Gameboy powering on without a hitch.
Before beginning this guide, make sure your Gameboy is powered off.

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?
