I bought my VB new from Target when they were blowing them out at about $20 or so, I've always kept mine clean and stored well. However It recently started doing this weird thing where the right eye looks all glitched up, making it totally unplayable. I read up on VB repair and the only thing i could find was how to repair the ribbon cables to the LED units. I guess when these go bad they start showing scan lines and progressivly get worse, but on mine it just happened suddenly. I just got a copy of Jack Bros and WaterWorld and was super excited to finally play them, jack bros booted up just fine, then quickly the right eye started glitching. i tried several other carts but it made no difference. Here are some pictures.
