Looks like the issue is a bad power supply in the main unit. Anyone know someone with the know-how to take a crack at repairing or should I just scour the interwebs for a working VB?

Just to let everyone know, I haven’t forgotten this thread. It turns out the guy who runs one of the used game shops I go to is a Virtual Boy guru and I’m going to have him take a look at my system on Saturday.

No sound at all, I fear the system may be toast. Could it possibly be an issue with the controller since that holds the power switch?
