I am looking for a VB mainboard, or a cart connector in particular. Does anyone have a broken VB or even disassembled parts lying around?

I have a for parts VB that I bought years ago that was broken. I don’t remember what was wrong with it. I needed it for the LEDs and controller connector board. Everything else should be present. How hard is it to remove the part you need?

Hey, nice. I did not expect a reply so fast. 🙂

It seems removing the main board is as simple as opening the VB and disconnecting all cables from the board.

The cart connector has to be desoldered, though. I’ll happily take the whole main board and desolder myself, if that’s too much work.

I pulled it out and extracted the board and it looks to be in pretty good shape. It’s all yours. It will probably be a few days before I can get to the post office though. I’ll PM you details.
