If you need repairs there should be a warranty with your gp32, Your warranty is void if you open it though i think, Ring up where u got it from and ask them ,If you live in the uk theres this really cewl worker at gbax.com think hes the owner called craigix he may soryt you out give him a bell he sseeems really cewl aswell.

Ur such a suck up.
And about ur question, theres just one thing that needs replacing, if u have a look around the boards ull find out what component needs replacing. then u mite even be able to repair it urself.

If you bought it from me a fix can be arranged by gamepark, but it costs about $50

Craigix - most modern electronic equipment is protected against reverse polarity. Im surprised the GP32 isn't. Would the same thing happen if you put the batteries in the wrong way round ?

the gp32 is, it only blows up the protection circuit, instead of the whole machine.

I believe it is also possible to fry it by using batteries and a PSU at the same time.
It can also be powered through the EXT port with a mobile phone charger, but since i've seen no mention of this being safe or indeed allowed i'd not recommend it.

Craig - I've tried this before with no ill effects. I haven't studied the internals but I believe that the PSU plug isolates the battery power. I was trying to see if I could maintain power to the GP32 by plugging in the live PSU whilst the the GP32 was running off the batteries. The result was that the GP32 rebooted. Perhaps if you used the EXT port the result would be different ?

Trust the recursion...
I accidentally did this too but it didn't mess up my gp32. However, I think it draws power from the batteries as I recall when I was playing, the FLU started flickering because the batteries got low.

I have a samsung t-100 charger with the correct connector, but the output is 5v so theres no way thats going anywhere near my gp32!

As soon as the adaptor is plugged in, power from the batteries is disconnected. Best to plug in the adaptor when the unit is switched off however to make it as clean as possible a switch from the batteries to the external power.

If you gave it a boost in voltage it musnt work because you may have fried the components.
