Default Battery life/LCD brightness

Hi, I have an Action chipset 1.8" player with the 9.0.5.0 firmware. My issue is that the battery life playing video, or just using the LCD, is very short. On a full change Video will play for about fifteen minutes.

The screen is very bright, and I wouldn't mind lowering the brightness significantly in order to extend battery life.

The problem is that under "LCD Set" in the setup utility I don't have a "Brightness" option. There are two items in the LCD Set menu, "black" and "exit".

FWIW, I have set "black" time to five seconds, sleep time to 30 seconds, and power off time to 60 seconds. So there's not much else I can do from a power conservation perspective.

What are my options here? I've seen postings indicating a manual firmware hack to adjust contrast, but nothing regarding brightness. Also, I see a lot of posts saying the 9.0.5.0 FW isn't yet customizeable.

What are my options here? Is there a firmware I can downgrade to that will allow me to adjust brightness?

Thanks in Advance,

- Great Site, BTW
