Has anyone else had problems with thieir mains adaptor lead for the GP32 slipping out slightly when moving slightly. I got my adaptor from Argos and I just have to move my GP32 a little and the lead slips halfway off and therefore loses power.
Does the adaptor that Craig is selling fit firmly in the socket without slipping out at all?
 
The usual reason for this happeninhg is that the central hole on the adaptor plug is too big. GP32 has got an extra small power socket, so this could be it.... also, the spring contact in the socket could be a bit loose....

take a sharp knife and trim a mm or so from the plastic shielding at the base of the metal. It doesn't do any harm and the adaptor clicks firmly into place then.

I think I have the same model.

the ones from GBAX do the same :huh:

you also get an annoying scanline effect from left to right as the voltage is not constant :blink:
