Can a Virtual Boy's inner-mirrors be realligned?

[Night Driver]

I stupidly left my Virtual Boy standing upright in a room with hardwood floors and a wandering toddler. Now, the 3-D is slightly out-of-synch (unless I hold the system at a very specific, and uncomfortable, angle.) I've read that this is due to the mirrors being out of position.

 

Is there any way for a layman to fix this problem? Thanks.

Have you tried this info from Nintendo? :

 

# Blurry or Out of Focus (Setting the IPD and Focus)

 

If the image appears blurry our out of focus, you will need to adjust the IPD (Inter-Pupillary Distance) and Focus. To adjust these:

 

1.

 

Go to the initial startup screen with Virtual Boy written in the middle and the squares in each corner like this:

 

Note: If you are playing a game, press START to pause the game (you will not lose your place in the game), then press SELECT to get to this screen.

2. Rotate the IPD dial until you see the four squares in the corners.

3. Slide the "Focus" bar until Virtual Boy graphic in the center of the screen as clear as possible.

 

# Image is Out of Alignment

 

1. Place a game pak in the Virtual Boy and turn the system on.

2. Make sure the Virtual Boy is flat on the table, then look into the Virtual Boy as if you were playing the game.

3. Press the A Button until you reach the game title screen and wait for the music to start. If the image appears blurry, you may need to adjust the IPD and Focus before beginning (see the above topic for information).

4.

 

Use the Control Pad on the right hand side of the controller and enter the following code: Left, B, Down, A, Up.

 

As with any code, it may take a few tries to get it to work the first time.

5.

 

Once the screen with the horizontal and vertical lines is displayed, look away from the Virtual Boy for a few moments. Look into the screen again and press your face into the eye shade.

 

Note: It is important to look away for a few moments to allow your eyes to readjust so you can get a more accurate reading of the alignment screen.

 

The Virtual Boy is aligned normally if the vertical and horizontal lines cross each other. If the vertical and horizontal lines do not cross or if the horizontal line barely touches the vertical lines, the the Virtual Boy may be out of alignment.

Awesome! Thanks! I still suck at Warioland, but at least now it's not the game's fault.
