    Let's go - Help wanted :) (2012-10-01)

    see point #3 on the first post in this thread for a link to cross-upgrade. I included my order number in the "comments" box when placing the order. ED and Craig are likely under tremendous email backlog, so don't take it personally if it takes a few days to get a response. Cheers.

    Let's go - Help wanted :) (2012-10-01)

    Hey there. Been a few years in the queue -- just cross-upgraded my order. Can't wait. (Well, I'm going to wait a few more days, I guess ) :-D

    Batch 1 and 2 moving a bit forward (2011-07-16)

    Great news! I've been waiting a long time for my Pandora, since Oct. 12, 2009 to be precise. I invested in this project and more recently the iCP for two reasons: 1. It was a product that I wanted and nothing else will substitute. 2. Because it is a concept that I believe in. You guys...

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    Has anyone tried doing this with a displaylink based usb-dvi adapter? There seems to be an opensource effort already, over here. The displaylink chipset is used in a large number of devices, including usb-based docks and usb monitors. Displaylink has been mentioned in the forum, but I haven't...

    So Are The Batteries Tested At All?

    Hi guys, I think I am the person to help you sleep better at night. I have a little experience with battery technology and more importantly, have been informed by other scientists who actually develop battery technology. Your battery is not a lithium bomb. Lithium battery fires result from...

    Surface Mount Capacitors Have Gone Mia. Help Me Identify Them?

    Hey everybody, I just wanted to post a little update: I finally got around to replacing the missing components last night and it works again! The soldering job was a real bear so I'd recommend anyone in a similar predicament to practice a bit first on some old PCB before tackling this one. I...

    Surface Mount Capacitors Have Gone Mia. Help Me Identify Them?

    Hey you hardware people! I need to repair my gp2x from its strange demise, the loss of a few passive circuit elements; namely surface mount capacitors and an inductor. Here is a table that summarizes the missing parts: Designation Type Description...

    Gp2x Bricked?

    Thanks for taking a look. Were you looking at a F-100 or F-200? Are the boards the same apart from the touch screen? I really doubt the capacitor is getting hot enough to de-solder itself. What you are suggesting is very extreme. Heat may still be the culprit, however. It may be the case...

    Gp2x Bricked?

    My working theory is that they popped off during a fall. I don't overclock it. There is also frankly no way that the components got hot enough to desolder themselves. Just no way! The mounting pads for the missing parts look like fractured surfaces anyways, so let's just assume that they...

    Gp2x Bricked?

    I hate to double post, but can anyone Please, Please, Please identify the passive surface mount circuit elements boxed in red in the figure above? I know that there are some hardware hackers out there who could do this for me in about 5 minutes. If I can't find out what they are, I can't fix...

    X-com: Ufo Defense

    I've been hoping for this app since day one with my gp2x. I tried everything to get UFO on the little device (psx emulation, etc.) and finally gave up. Way to go!

    Gp2x Bricked?

    You would think, eh? The first thing I did before disassembly was to hold the buttons in place and shake the unit. No sound of loose parts clicking around. I don't know how they could have escaped! I did open the case around a year ago, but I think missing parts back then would have caused...

    Gp2x Bricked?

    I edited together an image from evilDragon's photos on the wiki. The parts missing are labelled: C14, C13, C22 and L2 I assume L stands for Inductor and C stands for capacitor. Can anyone tell me the values of these circuit elements so that I can replace them?

    Gp2x Bricked?

    I pulled off the back and side case to have a look around. I don't see any cooked capacitors or burnt contacts... Not really sure what happened to cause this. edit looks like some surface mount resistors (capacitors?) (little brown boxes) are missing! I'll get back with more specifics, but it...

    Gp2x Bricked?

    I was using fresh 2650 mAh batteries which just came off the charger. However, my official gp2x power supply is yielding the same result. Green LED on, nothing else at all. The backlight certainly is not coming on. Thanks for the quick replies!
