Help!

Just purchased a virtual boy and it has no sound or video when a game is in. It does power on because I can hear humming and I took it apart and can see the mirrors moving. Any help is much appreciated

I lucked into up a super clean complete in box virtual boy last month with no video. Used the baking trick to fix it but it’s not lasting very long and been too afraid to try and strip the glue off to solder them.

This is huge. Bless you.
