    F200 Won't Boot Up

    Yeah, I intend on getting a cradle. The issue is getting one of those USB-to-JTAG interfaces, which are pretty expensive. I'll probably just try to find an old computer with a parallel interface and install that open-source JTAG software. I wonder if the memory chip is bad? Is it usual to take...

    F200 Won't Boot Up

    Well, it's a moot point now, I bricked the f**king thing. The update seemed to be going OK, it said "updating firmware" and I had 100% batteries. It went on in the "updating firmware" screen for over 10 minutes, then went black. The batteries still seem to be charged, I can use them in my...

    F200 Won't Boot Up

    I tried it again, with all the files and had the same problem. It takes about 70 seconds before going to the loading screen, then fails at the loading screen.

    Well, I feel confident enough with soldering that I could replace the NAND chips, but it would take a while for me to find the tools to do surface-mount chips. What I know about JTAG is it's an interface for accessing hardware, like the CPU, and through the CPU, the NAND memory. But I don't...

    F200 Won't Boot Up

    Man, what bad luck. It is strange that it works normally, displaying the splash screen and everything, then just stops. Oh, and another thing, the startup sound doesn't play for some reason. Ever since that happened, it has failed to load. But updating the firmware should have fixed that, I...

    F200 Won't Boot Up

    I don't think it worked :( OK, I put the newest firmware onto my SD card (everything except for "gp2xboot.img"), and turned it on while holding down start and select. The "Updating Firmware" screen appeared. Then it eventually changed to the red "GP2X Loading" screen, and now it has same...

    F200 Won't Boot Up

    Hello, this will be my first post. I look forward to working with everyone here! :) I have an F200 running firmware V 4.0, which I bought some time in January 2008. I got a GP2X because I wanted a handheld console I on which I could do software developing. I don't really care about games so...
