Hey, figured this was probably the best place to post this since it is the console gaming forum . . . .
Anyway, I bought Pokemon: Fire Red off eBay for my son to play on his DS. He gets about an hour into it today and tries to save and it fails. Here are the errors:
Asks if I want to overwrite the existing game, I say yes. then the screen goes blue and I get the following message:
then
then
So I go some googling and everything I find points to people having the problem only when running the game in an emulator. Is it also possible I just bought a used game with a dead battery?
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.

Save failed.
Checking the backup memory.
Please wait.
This could take up to 1 minute.
then
The backup memory is damaged or
the game's battery has run dry.
The game can be played, but its
progress cannot be saved.
"Please press the A Button."
then
Save error.
Please exchange the backup memory.
