so i just got my cradle in the mail for my F200 and after removing the rubber EXT cover i turned on my GP2X, plugged it in, and the screen froze and went fuzzy... whats up!

btw i have firmware 4.1.1
 
Sounds like the cradle is holding your GP2X in reset. Did you supply power to the cradle?
 
yeah but it was 4.5 volts and DC 300mA

and i tried it without any power and it still did that.

i thought u only needed the cradle to be plugged in for more power consuming usb devises?
 
Yep, cradle should work fine without a power supply, for TV out and basic USB devices (keyboard, mouse, thumb drive etc).

I wonder if it's a firmware 4.11 thing... has anyone else with this firmware used a cradle?
 
Should, but my cradle didn't work (caused the exact problem you state) unless I plugged the adaptor in, and that was FW 1.1.2 (or 1.2.1, can't remember).

It really looks like power starvation or reset problem - ie, hardware rather than software.
 
I've used my GP2X to power the cradle off batteries alone, and it works fine (I was only doing some quick USB testnig) but generally I try to power the GP2X using an adapter, and letting the GP2X feed the cradle juice from its power supply. Works great, both F100 & F200. I've never attached anything to the DC port of the cradle.
