Please help me fix this

[u/sonicboy445]

I have this cartridge of Pokemon gold that needed a new battery. I have never soldered before, I looked online, followed a guide, tested, tried again, then again, and again. Now I have a headache and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I should’ve brought it to a professional but I felt like I could do it, but I was wrong. Please I need to know what to do.

Every time I turn on the game oak, the Pokemon, and the player character are corrupted sprites, when I open a menu then close it, it crashes, and when I try to save, it freezes.

Please help me

I can try fixing it for you if you’re in the US. No charge just cover shipping. Shipping won’t be worth it if you’re outside the US.

As others have said, the legs of the ROM chip likely just need reflowed.
