I finally got my old Game Boy to hold a charge for 30 seconds and I'm calling that a win
Everyone online says you have to swap the battery for a new one, but I just hit the contacts with vinegar and a q-tip and it came back to life for 30 seconds before dying again. That tiny flicker on the screen felt better than finishing any AAA game this year. Anyone else keep a dead handheld around just to hear that startup chime one more time?

My dad's old cassette player sat in a drawer for 15 years until I cleaned the heads with rubbing alcohol and got one full song out of it. There's something about old tech that just needs a little attention instead of a full replacement, like it's been waiting for you the whole time.
