If the screen on the gp2x is black that means it the gp2x is outputting video, it could be a problem with the board the software the screen, or the gp2x itself.
1. Check all the usb ports and RL sound ports, don't worry about any of the other ports, if the board is messed up then the usb ports will most likely be messed up as well
2. If you firmware is out of date then upgrade if your willing
3. If your firmware is up to date and it's a software problem then your stuck.
4. As for checking to see if it's the gp2x hardware that is kind of hard if you don't have just the gp2x AV cable.
5. Try it with another screen if you have one
6. Make sure you are on the right input on the screen you'd be surprised how confusing the av setup can be if there is more than one s-video port.
1. Checked ports
2. Firmware 4.1.0 on an OOB F200 flashed to 4.1
3.? Hope Im not stuck.
4. Tried AV cable, that works. Starts 1/2 screen, then upon exiting something it goes full screen. Similar to confusing the joystick.
5. Have tried unit & AV cable on roomates TV, works just like 4 above
6. There is only one S video in, no confusion.
Its something with the cradles S Video I think, but am lost as to a solution.
Edit: Checked my DVd player with S video cable on roommates TV. It works, but will not on the new LCD Chimei either, regular Yellow Video does with DVD. GP2X w/cradle & DVD will not work with S Video, but GP2X with AV cable works (so S Video on LCD is operational) WTF?
Edit3: S Video works somewhat when the GP2X is in the cradle with no power. Just running off AAs. There is interference or something causing some white horizontal junk on the screen.
When I try plugging power supply into GP2X direct while on cradle, no S Video. When on AA power, I wonder if my GP2X is not properly snug on the cradle.
Pandora please!
