GameCube Clock Battery Replacement

Replacement of the internal clock battery so your console retains date and time settings. Includes conversion to a replaceable battery holder where applicable.

A dead clock battery means the GameCube asks you to set the date every time it powers on, and games that rely on the internal clock — Animal Crossing in particular — lose track of real time. The console itself works fine either way; this is about keeping the clock alive.

Not sure this is the problem? Symptoms like this can have more than one cause. If you're unsure, order a Diagnostic instead — we'll identify the fault and credit the fee toward whatever repair is needed.
