I’ve had my VB for almost 10 years now and I never play it, but I love the entire concept of the console.
Over the years, it looks like the dreaded ribbon cables have finally come loose. It seems worse each time I turn it on.
I have everything. The VB, the box with all inserts/manuals, the OEM power adapter with box, the battery adapter, etc. and I just hate to get rid of it, but, I also don’t know how to get this properly repaired. And I don’t know if I can even afford it.
You can have a look at the PVB discord server (link on the title page of PVB) and ask in the repair section.
Depending on where you are living there is one repair contact in Europe and three in the US.
