I've got a small problem...it's that lame Berry glitch. The one that stops time events.

The actual time on the game stopped months ago, but I cant get anything to fix it. I've tried fixing it through: Pokemon Colloseum, Pokemon Channel (my little brothers, before you ask ) and I tried using the Fire Red/Leaf Green fixy thing.
But none worked!!

So, I need people to answer these questions:
1) Do you know any other ways of fixing it other than sending the game away to Nintendo? If so, tell! (And I wont try hammering it )
2) If not, can someone give me the address for Nintendo's fixing thing.
3) Also, do you know if they are still doing the thing where you send it away to them and they give you the special Pokemon?

If nobody wants to answer, dont worry. But please help me! (If you tell me I'm wasting my time with this game I will tell you to piss off [Just so you know])

well i played it looooooong ago...are u saying like the day never ends and stuff like that?

When I start the game up, it says:
"the Internal Battery has run dry. The game can still be played, but time-based events will not occur."

And so, I need it to have time! I saved up and bought some rare berries for growing, only to find it wont work because the berries will just die because they cant grow, since there is no time.

Note, I have the details for the Nintendo helping thing, here they are in case anyone else has problems. (I'm not saying this stuff will work, I'm saying it just in case it helps knowing whether they will still fix my game!)

Just send your Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire Game Pak to the following address, and we will upgrade your Game Pak:

Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire Berry Fix:
Nintendo Service Centre
Codestorm House
Walton Road
Farlington
Hampshire
PO6 1TR


Telephone: 0870 6060 247 (Calls are charged at the National Rate to the caller)

Our technicians will upgrade the game for you free of charge, and you'll also get a special surprise gift! To get your gift, your game must be set up properly. Here are the requirements:

1. Make sure that your active team has five or less Pokémon in it.
2. You must have saved the game at least once after obtaining Torchic, Treecko or Mudkip from Professor Birch.

If you meet these requirements, you'll receive a very special gift!

(Shiny Zigzagoon apparently)

If the internal battery has run dry, dont u open the pak and replace it?

Wow that sounds cool, I want my battery to run dry just for the free gift!

I got the Berry Fix from Pokemon Channel and Jirachi came with it. I'd much rather have the Jirachi than the shiny Zigzagoon...

Are the language versions the same? I don't think it would work if you use a UK Channel to fix a US Ruby/Sapphire...

Mine is a UK pack...

I also tried Channel, so I have the Jirachi on my game.

Just on an unrelated note, (sorta because I mentioned a Shiny Zigzagoon...), my lil bro just caught a shiny Paras on his LG game. 3rd Pokemon he found after I got him a new GBA. I might steal it...

Anyway, please ignore that offtopic thing and help me with my problem!

Maybe you left it too long to get the big fix?

I didn't get the error message you keep getting...

Well, I'm trying 1 final time on Colosseum, and I'm ringing Nintendo tommorrow to ask if I can send it in to fix the game.

What are you going to do if it doesn't work?
