I don have a large budget so it will take me a while todo much. I don’t have my soldering iron back yet either.

What should be my order of action here? Should I start with battery or backlight? I also have pokemon blue on the way.

Alright, just a cotton swab with alcohol should be plenty

Oh, and definitely make sure the battery contacts aren't corroded/had leaky batteries, though if you're gonna swap it for a rechargeable one, it may not matter?

Battery upgrade is definitely on the table probably a usb-c. it was verified working though from the shop. Unsure where to get the kits though and what a reasonable price is for a kit.
