Hi, I have had my GP2X for a couple of years now and up until about 2 months ago the battery life was OK. I am finding that with brand new AA top quality lithium duracell batteries it lasts like 2 minutes?? Rechargeables are lasting around 10 - 15 minutes?? There doesnt' appear to be anything wrong with any of the batteries I put into it, so it must be a hardware fault.
I remember reading about a faulty resistor or dodgy power socket issue that caused this, I have searched the forum and cannot find much that's useful other than a thread about missing capacitor but I am sure there are no loose components. Can anyone help? Does anyone know where I should be looking on the PCB regards voltage regulator / comparitor / IC, test points etc?
