So, I open up my gp2x for the first time, and guess what,
a capacitator falls out.
I'v never droped it nor treated it with sutch violence that a capacitator should breakof from the pcb.

Tought of returning it, but since I opend it, the warranty is probably void.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Advice?

Solder it back on. That would be the easiest.

I am curious as to what capacitor it is that falls off. I have done like 4 d-pad mods and never had that happen.

I dont have a good camera right now, so the only information i can give you is that it is C13, near the batterie connector and SD reader.
I have looked at it a little closer up now, and it looks like the component was cold solderd.
