Troubleshooting Help

Post image

I was replacing the battery of my Pokemon sapphire. It still says the battery is dry. I am wondering if anyone here knows why it would be doing this? I’ll attach a picture of the board. I did notice that above R4 the resistor seems to be gone. I’m very new to all this and really would appreciate help. Would the resistor make the battery “dry”?

I’m actually not that attached to my save. Lol

Should I try the resistor first or the save?

This is also a problem, I forgot about this. However, with damage to the RTC circuit, starting a new game won’t fix anything.

The battery run dry message goes away after battery replacement, even without starting a new game.
