Help with my N-Gage, please!

Post by BoringSupreez »

I can't get the battery cover to come off! I press on the button and try to slide the cover, but it won't go anywhere.

Never mind. I got the battery cover off: by snapping it off with a knife. As it turns out, it was just a store model, with a big heavy piece of metal inside for weight. Boooo.





This must be what it feels like to buy a GBA game, and have it turn out to be a bootleg.

I'd like to tell you that I didn't laugh at this.

I just got a Demonstration Mode N-Gage recently as well, and I have been looking for ways to turn it into a fully-functioning regular model. Does anyone here know anything about that?
