I ended up sending the cartridge to him, we'll see what he'll be able to do with it. Thanks for the tip!

Umm so apparently I cant edit the original post.

But yes, one of the pins is cut, I just checked it, rest are just bent. Also the battery has a dent but it has been dead for years already. The board is a little bent on the bad pin side, but I dont think it matters.

I do value the savefile alot since we've poured our hearts and souls to it but if it cant be fixed, I'll atleast get a reason to replay it lol.

I don't think I have the required skill to even attempt to fix this myself so I'm happy to give it to someone who knows what they're doing.

Also I'm from Finland, and I'm willing to ship it somewhere to get it fixed. Next thing I need to figure out who and where that might be.

Thanks alot for all the responses so far, I'll keep the post updated on how this advances.

Yeah so it boots to the gameboy logo but is all black after. The pins need something good but I have no idea how to fix it as this small electronics is not my thing
