I got a black one for $2 at the local flea market. He told me flat out he wasn't sure if it worked because the batteries were dead and he didn't have any AAA batteries to test it...I didn't care since it was $2. Well, one of the battery springs was really compressed, so I tugged on that a bit to make it springy again...that didn't do the trick, as it still doesn't work
The light doesn't even come on. However, I did notice the batteries getting pretty darn hot when I had the back cover off. Is this normal, or do you think it is related to my problem? Can someone check thir GameBoy Pocket for me to see if their batteries get hot almost instantly (within a couple seconds)?
Thanks so much!
