I just got a gp2x from play-asia and after about 2 days i dropped it from about 3 feet or so.

Ever since the 2x has been shutting down everytime i make a sudden movement, andfor some reason, just to turn it on, I have to hold it upside down.

I think that it's because the betteries are loose, because i just tried holding the batteries in place while shaking the 2x, and nothing happened.

Is this a problem with gp2xs in general? or is it just because I dropped mine?

Also, is there any way to fix it?
 
If you dislodged something, you might be able to send it in to somebody to repair it for you. Maybe EvilDragon will do that if you pay a little money... or if you are good at soldering, you can do that yourself. Hopefully it`s just a problem of the battery connectors.
 
Dropping the GP2X easily bends the connectors for the batteries. They need to be bent back outwards so the batteries fit in tightly.
 
ok, so i just bent the connectors and everything works fine now. i was worried i would have to send it back to play-asia, ty.
