The Game Boy definitely does do that, as a sibling comment also mentions, though I don't remember there being a case about it. My recollection from long ago is that when you turn on the Game Boy with no cartridge inserted, there's just a black box where the Nintendo logo normally is. There's a well-known similar Nintendo case but it involved the NES, and there was a later one with Sony over the Playstation BIOS.

But yes, the courts (or at least the 9th Circuit) have looked down on these attempts to use copyright and trademark as methods of preventing access. Of course now they have DMCA anticircumvention provisions to help out instead anyhow.
