that is easier said then done. i’ve called all over to find a video game repair shop who was willing to do the fix, i’ve yet to find one. finally found a guy out in vegas but he wasn’t to sure how to do it, said he would “look it up” and then when asked some specific questions about the VB he didn’t have the answers, so i didn’t mail my vb to him.i’m in the US and as i recall theforce81 is in the Netherlands? USPS wanted something like $45 to ship one way.
i wish i had someone on my block, or even in my city, who could do the fix and who knew how to do it. i did start a dialogue with a planetVB member on IRC about it, but didn’t have the funds at the time to follow through. though, if he is reading this i’ve been thinking about it the past few months! =)
if you do know someone who can do it, and do it correctly, get it done. its the only way to permanently fix the problem.
If you have a way to open up your VB you can send in the displays by themselves. I have done a few that way from your part of the world before. That way the costs are pretty low, about $6 back and forth. It is your call entirely of course, just trying to help out 😉
When you have opened it, it is really easy to take the displays out by the way, the challange is to get a good gamebit that reaches down the deep holes to unscrew them.

Well, consider this to be my contribution to the site, Jojobean sold it to me, or better said, ripped me off on it with Bound High at the time.Enjoy it!
One day you will explain about this quote , I’m shocked to know that people tries to ripp off on this site!!
No problem explaining it, I paid him a hundred bucks for the bugged Bound High game and the Space Pinball ROM, I did it purely for Bound High, though a month later we all know what happened lol, the good version came out. He just threw in Space Pinball because I didn’t want to pay 100 bucks for the Bound High alone, while it was in pretty many people’s possession, though with a good reason not available for download. I didn’t care too much for SP, though it did convince me to spend 100 bucks for the both of them.
He said I couldn’t tell anyone about it, but as I see how he scammed me, that promise of mine (that I wouldn’t tell anyone about it) didn’t need to be upheld. I wanted people to be warned about it and not get scammed by him as I was, hence the release to the fine people of this site.
Strange that it doesn’t work, it works for me though….
EDIT:
Downloaded my own upload and have seen that that doesn’t work indeed, here is a RAR’ed version
2nd EDIT:
Tested my own download this time, was at work the previous upload and couldn’t test it. Now it works!
