I know I'm probably overreacting, but I don't know much about the inner workings of the dmg so I thought it was worth asking about tongue

Prosounding really doesn't mess with anything that would cause a problem like that. And backlighting drains battery like a mo'fo.
Your cart should be fine too, think about it. Over time you would have used your gameboy/nanoloop till the set of batteries died anyways.

I have another gameboy, but no batteries sad I can't get new ones until Monday.

I mean, is there current running through key components of the cartridge while the DMG is on?

Do you have a back-up gameboy to test out your nanoloop cart?

It didn't work, so I replaced the batteries. It still didn't work, though the batteries themselves may have been dead; I found them in the back of my desk. I won't be able to get new batteries until at least Monday. So what I want to know is, how can I fix my DMG, and--MOST IMPORTANTLY--will this damage my Nanoloop 1.3 cartridge, which had been inside the DMG?

The gameboy is prosound and backlighted if that has any effect.
