Serious heat issue with Fuze V2

<< < (3/12) > >>

funman:
Does it happen if you reduce brightness?

bolski:
I have felt it get warm, but no warmer than it's gotten with the normal firmware.

I've played Rockbox for Fuze v2 for about 3 hours straight on a trip this past weekend in my car and no screen flicker or anything.

funman:
The backlight current (in sink1) can be modified in 32 steps of 1.2mA (0 - 37.2mA)

Perhaps 37.2mA is too much?

I never use full brightness.

It might be. I don't know the math off hand though.

saratoga:
37 mA is comparable to the normal current of the player, so thats not going to heat up the device.  Its also not that much current split across 4 LEDs. 

Since the battery was implied to discharge a lot faster then the 5 hours that would take driving the LEDs, I don't think its the issue here.
