DC adapter problem

[tix]

ÏÊ here is the story...
I have recently bought an AC-DC adapter for my gp32 (500 mA max)
it has a volt changer from 1.5 to 12, so far so good
I put the switch to 3 Volts I choose the correct polarity and I switch my gp32 on
but the quality of the picture is bad !!! it flickers like it has a very low refresh rate !!!
What is the problem ????? Is my adapter low quality or what ????

Not sure on what your adapter is like, but i also use a multi-voltage one (the kind that has slot on connectors at the end) and this runs my GP fine

Is the polarity definately set to - ? (probably blow up if not, but just checking )

It may be that the adapter is faulty. If the voltage level is not consistant, it can cause the sort of problems you're on about...

May be worth getting it swapped?
