Nintendo Virtual Boy: Does not turn on at all. But did work the day before.

I took my virtual boy out of storage for the first time and hooked it up and it would not turn on. So I blew it out and whoa it turned on. So I played my games for about a good 30 mins to an hour and went ahead and turned off the console. The next day I wanted to play it again. This time it won't even turn on at all. The virtual boy is in great condition. Just been in a closet forever. And I made sure to dust it off. Since it's been 12 years. Anyways what do you think is wrong with it?

Nintendo Virtual Boy: Left Speaker sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t.

Sat, 10 Jul 2021 06:00:23 -0700

I have a Virtual Boy that at one point seems to have been dropped with the rubber piece on the side being gone. Sometimes when I play the system the speaker just doesn’t play sound, and other times it is fine. There is something rattling around in it too. Does anyone know what the issue might be before I have to open it? Thanks.
