So I just got this Gameboy Pocket and for some reason the speaker is VERY weak. At max volume it sounds more like an earbud speaker turned up. Does anyone have any idea what the case could be with this? Does it have to do with the internal amp being blown or something possibly more simple then that? The headphone jack still works perfectly.

I'm sorry but this doesn't explain why one doesn't work well and the other one does.

Yeah, I've got 2 other Pockets that still sound fine, but this one for some reason is just really weak. I tried out the headphone jack to see if it still worked fine and it worked flawlessly. I just couldn't tell if it was a blown speaker (which I have a spare if needed) or had something to do with a weak connection somewhere or even something to do with the amp.
