I don't know why the moderators keep reversing my edits to this step. I have been repairing the Virtual Boy's displays for years, with many satisfied customers – I KNOW WHEREOF I WRITE!
While it does "completely tear down" the unit, it also makes it nearly impossible to put back together in fully working order. Furthermore, there is no need to remove the plastic frame – it doesn't gain you access to any parts you can't get to with it attached.
PLEASE leave this warning in the step. Thank you.
This is not meant to be a repair guide, hence our warning at the top of the page: "Teardowns provide a look inside a device and should not be used as disassembly instructions."
You are welcome to leave comments here, but we aren't going to change the teardown itself to make it more like a guide. We would be more than happy to host a repair guide, if you would like to make one!

Thank you for the clarification, Ms. Lionheart. I just might take you up on that repair guide suggestion. I already have a guide on the actual soldering process practically done. Would it be considered "bad manners" to recycle some of the images from this tear-down for the disassembly steps of my own guide? Failing that, could I simply refer to "steps 1-6" of this guide?
Recycle away! If you don't have the means to take these photos, you can certainly borrow ours and add your own steps to complete the guide. Best of luck!

Virtual Boy的本体来了! 每个 4 色显示单元均由 Reflection Technology Inc. 制造,具有 1x224 像素分辨率和 32 级亮度。
-
显示器产生的每个“图像”只是一行红点。 与摆动镜结合使用,从而生成完整图像。
-
因为整个图像是由单排 LED 产生的,所以刷新率非常高。 LED 的每个图案仅显示 0.000052 秒!
-
LCD 是显示器的一种选择,但它们无法足够快地刷新并导致图像模糊。 LED 成为首选,因为它们可以足够快地刷新并且足够亮以建立稳定、明亮的图像。
-
开发人员考虑在显示器中使用彩色,但他们受到价格的限制。 选择红色 LED 是因为它们是最便宜、最高效且最可见的 LED。
If you go to the Marketplace on virtual-boy dot com, you can find many nice folks who repair these. It’s very reasonably priced, given the rarity of these systems.

一周的复古结束了,真是一个壮观的结局:Magnavox Odyssey 100、RCA Studio II、Atari 2600、Famicom,以及现在的 Virtual Boy。 我们希望您玩得开心——我们确实玩得开心!
Unfortunately, the Virtual Boy was panned even before release. Designed by Gunpei Yokoi, the person responsible for the Game & Watch and the Game Boy, the Virtual Boy was considered a failure. As a result, he was publicly ridiculed. He quit Nintendo and formed his own company, but died in a car crash soon after. The Virtual Boy unfortunately wasn't accepted, as people who played on the system complained of headaches due to the display. It's not something you can play for extended periods of time.

A little disappointed that the teardown wasn't complete. You didn't teardown the controls! Maybe not as important as the displays, but still.
Dangerous and deadly if not looked well.
Just wondering but it looks like the bottom of your VB has stress factures around all the ports and screw posts? I seem to have them too and, like yours, they radiate outwards which leads me to think that they result from stress applied directly to the centre of the base of the unit.
