I bought a virtual boy, its stand, and manual about 4 months ago and it worked perfectly. After playing with it for a few weeks, and a bad situation involving a shipment of 5 virtual boy games I grew tired of mario tennis and took the batteries out and put it on my shelf.
Today I bought a new game for it and put the batteries back in and it doesn't turn on. After fiddling with the battery pack for about a half hour and trying the clean the contacts it finally works but it appears the right screen of the VB is artifacted, this is true for both mario tennis and the new game Warioland. It is really glitchy and I dont understand how it could have just broken like that.
The only thing I can think of is since my room is so dusty, dust got in it. Is this possible or did my screen just break while it was sitting there? Can I fix it?
