@onfy oh that one's pretty easy to take apart, but you might need one of those batteries with a wire and a connector

@noiob balls
i'm trying to avoid that type for phones

@onfy I have one of the late OGs and it's like half an hour of undoing screws to take it down to the board, so far I've had to do that twice

@onfy depends on the specific model and if they had space on the board

@noiob i guess if it's hard enough i should find someone to do this and my gc in one go

@onfy the slim is real easy, it just pops open, dunno about the Gamecube but I bet it's not too bad to work on
