Hello planet virtual boy goers, I haven’t been on here in a while, hope all is well with everyone, I’ve gone thru two vbs over the past 3 years and the first had the connection problem in the left optical and since I was pretty busy at the time I never really got around to trying to fix it or get some one to, so I went to a retro game store that right down the street from me ( it’s nice to have near me, but the people there are kinda little scammers that do whatever they can to make an extra buck because they are running out of business and money) I went there and I was surprised they had a virtual boy in the block buster hard case with every thing intact, I was going to try it out before I bought it, I was going to bring my battery pack because the one vbs in the case only had the plug, ( I guess this is my fault really lol) I bought the whole dam thing vb and case for 250 bucks and come to find out the damn thing had the same exact problem my other one had smh, idk if the case was worth but I’m happy I have it, anyway recently some crazy shit happened to me, half my house burnt down, it’s a very long story but low and behold my vb in the case was fine in a room that wasn’t effected by the fire, it was only cover it ash and soot, so I cleaned it and the game as well, ok that was long winded lol everyones ok no one got hurt and that’s all that matters, the reason I’m writing this is I would like to get my virtual boy permanently fixed so I never have that problem again, I very willing to pay and I would appreciate it very much, hope to talk to someone soon,
Best, Chad

Oh shit! But luckily the people in Your house and even Your Virtual Boy had a guardian angel πŸ˜‰
First reading I was going to assume, You’ll tell us that Your VBs worked again after that fire (see “oven method”) ha, ha πŸ˜‰
If You’re located in Europe, TheForce81 is Your man. For the US/Canada You can contact HP Lovethrash.

Yea, I took a couple things from the house before the damn insurance took basically everything, do you think I got a deal in getting the blockbuster case with vb (even tho its slightly broken), I mean I don’t know I’ve seen them go online for like 300 just the case alone, and I contacted love thrash before and he never answered πŸ™ maybe I just missed the message idk, atleast I still have 6 games for it and my flash boy with bound high πŸ˜€ too bad I haven’t played it in like two years

Thank you for the info tho bro 👍🏻👍🏻

Yes, sounds like a good deal with the blockbuster case. But I’m still new to VB stuff too. I’d like to have the case too, but I decided to make a custom one by myself.

Don’t know when You last tried to contact Lovethrash – he’s on a move since early february, like the link says …

Also don’t know if You tried more than once – when one’s getting many mails, it’s happens quickly to miss one …
Alternatively, RunnerPack repaired displays once, as far as I know. But I don’t know if he still does …

Runnerpack isn’t fixing them anymore. HP will get back to you, just gotta be patient. He is moving so I’m sure he’s been pretty busy lately.

Yup, I contacted him back in the first week of February, and still crickets πŸ™ I wish I would have sent it to the homie in Europe. It probably would have been fixed and returned by now.

If you want, I can still do it for you, just send me a PM
