Over time, electrolytic capacitors lose their ability to perform as intended, which can negatively affect your console’s performance. The electrolyte, paper, and aluminum foil inside the capacitor degrade both physically and chemically. Aging capacitors can cause a wide range of issues, and in extreme cases they leak corrosive electrolytic fluid onto the PCB, damaging traces, chips, and other components. This service removes the old, failing capacitors and gives your console a new lease on life with high-quality replacements.

Does your Virtual Boy have lines in the display, a glitchy display, or no display at all? The issue is most likely the lens flex cables or more specifically, the way they are adhered to the lenses themselves. For whatever reason, Nintendo decided to glue them onto the PCBs instead of permanently soldering them. As the glue weakens, the display will have issues or stop displaying all together. This service option replaces the old flex cables with new modern, soldered on, replacements. 98% of the time, this will fix any video output issues.

Full-service cleaning uses multiple specialized cleaning methods to bring your console back to tip-top shape. This isn’t a generic, one-size-fits-all cleaning service. Each component of your console is cleaned using the method best suited to that particular part. Fragile components that could be damaged by strong vibrations are gently hand-washed, while others are thoroughly cleaned using ultrasonic technology. Mechanical parts such as lasers and motors, which should not be submerged, are carefully detailed by hand. After cleaning, fans, gears, and sliding mechanisms are properly lubricated to ensure smooth, quiet, and optimal performance. Every single piece receives the individual care it deserves.

Additional Information

Once your order is received, you will be sent shipping information to send your console in for the work to be completed.

Initial shipping is the customers responsibility. Please ship your console and kit with ample packing material. Shipping paid at checkout is how your console will be shipped back to you after the work has been completed.

Please only send the console and kit to be installed. Power cables, controllers, AV cables or any other accessories that are not needed will only raise the shipping costs both ways.

If a console arrives not working, you will be contacted and notified. Most things can be fixed and arrangements can be made, but in the case of a console that is inoperable, the console will be returned, and you will be refunded minus return shipping costs.

Turnaround time is usually within 2-3 weeks, but can be longer depending on current workload or if parts need to be ordered.
