#I’m picking up a radio signal when I touch the GBC board…

What the hell is happening here? I was noticing that my board wasn’t turning on when the shell was closed, I assumed there was a pressure point causing an issue. So stupidly I just start pushing in the board, and then I picked up a local radio station?? Do gameboys even have radio capabilities?

On a side note, any ideas why pressure in the bottom right on the board might be causing it to lose power? Seems like a janky connection must be somewhere

if you press other places on the board does the radio thing still happen? I think your body is acting as an AM antenna and you're pressing on an area that's feeding into the audio amp... may be unrelated to the power issue you're having
