Hi everyone!

So I've been using my GBC for a few days now, and I've noticed that whenever I start playback on a song the frontlight gets extremely dim, and now has a much more noticeable high pitched hum. The batteries are fairly new, and this has been noticeable from putting them in.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

Are you using alkaline batteries?
My frontlit gbc was dim on rechargeable (nimh). It took a while for me to figure out I had to use alkaline.
Seems like 1.5 V is needed.

That's exactly what I'm using though...

Have you installed a resistor with the frontlight connecting to the positive rail? That might prevent it from draining too much energy when hitting play.

maybe a 100k resistor might work.

I haven't tried that.

I may have a few spare but I will check...
