Hello, im a newbie here. Recently got a f100 off ebay. Ive been lurking the forums for about a week now and cant seem to find my issue.

The previous owner installed firmware 4.1.0. Only when using bateries the white gph logo will flicker and wont go any further. if i use the wall charger its fine. ive tried swapping out the batteries also. Any help?
 
Hello, and welcome to the GP2X community! :)

Now regarding your problem, I have a similar issue. I can't give you a definite answer, but you can try a few things:

Have you tried a different set of batteries? GP2Xs are a bit sensitive when it comes to the power supply.
Also, I have a sensitive power switch (these tend to de-solder), it won't boot properly if I don't hold it in place when my batteries are half-drained.

If this still doesn't help, try cleaning the metal contacts in the battery compartment.

I hope this is useful...
