My GP32 has broken now after a total 12 days of ownership. I received it from PlayAsia on the 8th, spent a week or so sorting out SMCs, MP3s and getting emulators to run, and then I used it for the first time properly on a trip to Sweden last Thursday.
After about 2 hours use, the screen froze (while playing Parasol Stars on GPEngine) and I had to turn it off and then back on again. When I did this I just a got a mess of black vertical lines.
I left it for a day or so and it now shows nothing at all when it is switched on, although I do occasionally get the black lines again.
It still makes all the right sounds and stuff, so other than the display, I think it is working okay.
Has anyone seen anything like this before? Is there anywhere in the UK where I could get it fixed? I am not looking forward to the expense and hassle of trying to send it back to PlayAsia and get a refund or replacement.
