…i go to play my vb today one screens completely dead the other one now has issues and now one of the deep screws some how is striped ….. i am at the end of my ropes i m like this close to throwing it against the wall. i have no way to open this up now and its just useless… and ontop of that i wasted $10 on those damn screw bits

a vb ac adapter its under $10 right now and its in box and it has 14 hours left. and if your buy it ill buy one of your battery packs from you

ok the oven method did not melt or soften the rubber at all i was afraid i would melt the screens so i took it out since the board was hot n the cables were flat so i put tape around the area like dogs site said. so i put 2 screws in it so i could go test it. popped in wario land , red alarm and seems to be fixed, i think the tape helped more then the oven method. so thanks to every one for the help and links. for the ones who helped me dog and master of puppets if you guys want i have some snes games if you guys both want a free one just cover shipping and its yours. basically a whole bunch of sports games

I LOVE YOU!!! ok i got the 2 bits today, so now i can open up my other Nintendo console and cartridges. now the one ment for the vb is trick it does fit but it scraps against the deep hole but i eventualy got it open, also you need to use a screw driver that only accepts a little bit of the bit, if not the its too short.

so now i just need to remove the screens and pop them into the oven so i hope doggs site is still working.

now if i get this to work i would like to buy a vb battery pack whats the standard price for one or can some one send me a spare one?… o ya i will up load a few pics of me fixing this

yes they also made the game.com system. it was supposed to rival the gameboy but failed. most if not all the games where bad, the internet service it had with it cost extra you needed like 3 ad ons and you could only post online scores with it. it also had a cheap gimmicky touch screen and could hold 2 games at once.

will it fit all the way and i need proof because i am very very cheap due to my lack of income and last thing i want to do is buy it and then have it not work

edit

ok i looked that the action if it doesn’t work i m going to be so pissed. but hey theres 2 bits n now i can use it on my snes, nes games without maring the case like i did with the homemade ones

if you read all my posts i know its a loose ribbon cable since it changed when i change the focuse.

NOW CAN SOME ONE JUST GIVE ME A GOOD LINK TO BUY A VB SCREW DRIVER THAT I DON’T NEED TO MOD OR JUST SEND ME ONE …god

im sorry but i keep getting told to do methods that i have done and fail over and over again i will give up a bunch of snes, sega few nes and even one or 2 of my vb games just to get a good vb screw driver

click on his take below it has the full guid there

i hate you lol. wario land is a must, telro boxer is a good one too

i have tryed the pen method and any other kind of plastic i can melt.

its to thick to fit inside and i’ve tried it. trust me i am very g+ood at figuring stuff out but when i get stumped i just need some one to lend a helping hand if i have to i will pay or trade for a homemade or a non home made screw drive.

ok i just broke the screw driver after getting one screw out of one of the deep holes. so now i really need help since i have no way to put the screw back in now …….

ok finished with one. only issue is its as narrow as i can gat it but it seems to be scraping against the walls but i got every other screw even the on by the eye piece.

so PLEASE SOME ONE HELP ME send me one i’ll trade you a sega, nes, snes or vb game if i have to

ok last night i was given an snes model 2 with the wrong power cord (for an nes) 2 tv cables (one for the nes n another for snes) then i got 32 FRICKEN SNES GAMES AND 1 NES GAME. pluse $10 for fixing a guys pc.. o n i also got a very very old 10lb craptop

but any ways 2 of the games board were shoved up inside so out of desperation i finally made the tool (but for an snes) the only problem i have is its tricky to use n riped up parts of the plastic.

so about n hour ago i took a screw driver i was planning to use for this took like 30 minutes trying to narrow the head, long story short i gave up. but now i found 2 others that i hop are long enough / wide enough at the head. so no later tonight i need to retry and i hope that dremel head is not to dull now

the 2 reasons this system failed is the display and the way you view it. when your done playing you head hurts along with your body (from w/e way u were sitting or hunched over looking into it)

im the last one who posted in it. the links don’t work, well the ones i need. ya im too much of a pack rat, right now i have 4 other systems nes , sega’s that i don’t need. but ya the one screen just blacks out and i’ve tryed so much to get a screw driver .. hell if some one mods one for me / send me a food one i will give u a full nes, or sega genesis system or a vb game

there is supposedly one for the psp so ya i gues it can be done. i tryed the psp one but the darn thing was still set up to use a mouse n key board so it could not work for me

no i said that because i knew i would get a response. sorry about that but i am kinda desperate since its been a lil more than of a month of me looking desperately through the site than finally having some one make an account for me (long story shot i could only put in part of my email oddly). that and well i know this is a some what active site at least a few posts aday but with all my looking and asking i was
only geting part of the information i needed.

i mean i won’t even get into how many pens i melted trying to do the bic method and non of that works, i’ve even tried cheap tooth brushes. even funnier i tried a dragon ball z figure …well that one was more for fun.

the other issue is i do not have any way to make the screw driver/ mod a flat head. then i also have no way to do the soldering although i might be able to do the oven method if i can get this sucker open.

… ok looking at dogs site all i can say about what i have seen ….I WANT THAT. if you are wondering what i mean by that ….. i mean every thing lol. the nes controller to the vb is the one i want i can even mail you n old nes to use parts from. the vb to tv display i think is the most useful i wish theses were in the projects section of this site.

but basically i am looking to send this out to be fixed,mostly because i just don’t want to screw the system up. i have 2 nes systems to bater with 1 with all hook up handful of controllers 2 games n such the other is just the system missing a game door, then i also have 2 sega genesis’s a model one and a 2 with hook ups as well and 2 games. i also have random misc computer junk

also dog i might be able to help you on the softer eye shade, i have a sewing machine so i could see if we could make one but it would not come with the plastic eye shade piece

ok on trash day (which is a few days away) im going to toss this out if i cant get a way to fix it till then since its just useless with no screens

thanks but i would rather fix mine and save $40 althoe i need a new eyeshade p=iece n a broken stan means i can use the conector to make a modded stand but im to cheap / poor

with fire fox on a vista 64 bit pc. the email field did not scrool at all. as soon as it was filled from on end to the other it would no take in any other letters n i tryed all sorts of tricks

edit ye same email i have now, like he said above he signed up for me

also the pc i was signing up on is a windows xp machines also using fire fox
