You are going to have to be a little bit more specific. What exactly is wrong with the games? Are they not saving or do they just not work at all?

A. Wrong section of the board. Much like your other thread this belongs in the general video game section, not the TMNT one.
B. Specifics do help...
C. If they simply won't turn on period, or refuse to save data, the internal battery of the cartridges may be shot. There are means of replacing said batteries, though it involves soddering in most if not all cases. You can google that should it be a necessary action.

2 out of 3 don't have save batteries.......And all 3 will show the Gameboy color sign......and then nothing.....just white......

Try cleaning the pins on the games. Use like a dry cloth or tooth brush also dry to clean the pins but first check if there is rust at the pins. Rust may make the pins a darker colour or it gets like white specks.

Here's the two fixes you'd be able to do yourself. If they still don't work after that, they might be broken beyond anything you'd be able to fix.
