Nintendo Virtual Boy help required

[ddstoys]

Hi Guys
   Do any of you and a Nintendo virtual boy game console?    Its red virtual goggles and a controller I've been asked to try repair a store display unit but it has no game card.

 If anyone owns one do they still boot up without a game card ?  This one does nothing when powered on except a sound pulse.     And if possible could I borrow a game to try this don't really want to spend to much to find out its stuffed

Hi Dan.
Ive got one here somewhere.
I'll drag it out and let you know about the booting.

Also have a couple of Games here if no one closer can help.

Awesome Steve thanks for your help

No worries Daniel.
Actually just fired it up.
Nothing in the display without a gamecard but you can/should feel the motor running, which spins the internal mirrors.

Let me know if you need me to check anthing else or if you want me to send down a game.

Steve.

Ok so it might be ok when I look into the lenses I can see a faint line that fades out wen I turn it off mirrors spinning could explain that.    If I can borrow a game card would be awsome

  Thanks steve

Ok, I'll post game tomorrow.
I think I still have your address from before but might pay to send me a Pm just to be sure.
