    • Use a JIS 00 screwdriver to loosen the captive screw securing the battery cover.

    • You can try to use a non-iFixit Phillips driver in a pinch, but you risk damaging or stripping the screw. Push down firmly on the driver and twist slowly.

    • Use your finger to lift the battery by the tab on its left edge, then remove it.

    • During reassembly:

    • Never reuse a deformed or damaged battery—it's a fire hazard. Replace it with a new battery.

    • Your replacement battery may come with a plastic enclosure that slides over the battery.

    • Insert the edge of the battery with contacts at a slight downward angle—aligning the contacts with their prongs in the recess—and press the battery into place.

    • Use your fingers to lift and remove the power switch cover.

    • During reassembly:

    • Use your fingers to put the power switch cover (notched side up) into place so the cutout goes around the actual switch.

    • Gently slide the cover back and forth to make sure it's positioned properly and moving the switch.

    • If the switch isn't properly in its cutout, you won't be able to power on your Game Boy.
