Gp2x F200 Button Sticking

[bintpurple]

I just got my new F200 a few days ago and all of a sudden the right D-Pad button sticks, sometimes it gets stuck down and after a few miliseconds pops back up, sometimes it takes about half a second as it slowly rises from pushed back to its normal position. Anyone else have this problem or a good solution before I call Dynamism and/or take it apart and clean it out?

I also have a F-200, but my D-pad is okay. It doesn't get stuck like you describe yours.

If it's just because it's tight, then eventually it would loosen up after some use (or apply a lubricant, not sure if this is safe). It could also be that something is getting in the way, but I can't tell.

Hmm... Since I have never opened my F-200, I do not know what the insides look like (aside from pictures), so I don't know how the D-pad buttons actually function. I cannot say if it could be because something was broken or was jammed inside while using.

there was an F200 D-Pad mod done already, it includes pics on the insides of the F200

Taking it apart is not so hard/dangerous... I tried it

I believe the D-pad mod that xcen mentioned was this one here.

As for the pictures of the insides of the F-200, you can download the images here.

The fact it was ok initially indicates all is fine, and perhaps the rubber contacts on the D-pad moved a little inside the case. I suggest opening the unit and checking it hasn't moved; reassemble, this probably will solve issue. 5 minute job.

That's the mod I was talking about, but the guy did another post with more pictures... sorry I'm lazy =P

Just look up that user's posts =P

lucky you! Consider making Dpads for the rest of us =P
