Gp2x Pixel Question

[WarmFluffyUK]

Hi guys,

Well I am finally thinking of buying a GP2X, and was worried about something I read in another post and it's concerning dead pixels. Are there many GP2X units sold with dead pixels, or is this rather rare? This was one thing that annoyed me about my PSP was a couple of dead pixels, and was told that was within tolerance so nothing could be done. Is this the same policy with the GP2X?

Clare.

I have none. Not on my GP2X, PSP, GP32, NDS, Zodiac 1&2, cellphone, LCD monitor...

 

[Sevish]

Nope I don't have any, and I haven't really heard of anybody who has (though I might be wrong).

 

[icurafu]

I bought 2 of 'em.

And none of them had any.

 

[FluffyPanda]

none here, haven't even heard of any. Ask your chosen supplier what their policy on dead pixel returns is before ordering if you're worried.

 

[yaustar]

None on mine.

 

[Paradox]

none here. has anyone had any? hehe

 

[Hobohack]

NO NO NO i have like never heard of GP2X pixel problems

 

[hired gun]

I haven't heard of anyone with that problem here or at GP32Spain either. Mine came impecable, H.G.

Your headphone socket will more than likely be fucked though hehe

 

[Judland]

Nope. Ending the third week of ownership and no dead pixels AND my headphone jack is still holding together

 

[Sephnroth]

this is one of the few problems the gp2x DOESNT seem to have, no dead pixels here headphone socket still intact too

 

[WarmFluffyUK]

Whoopeee, that's good news

So who's the best supplier? And what's this about the headphone socket?

 

[NoidZ]

Mine has none too. Some headphone sockets (in the first edition) where not that well solded. But I thought that problem was solved with the GP2X's you buy now.

My first edition hasn't had any problems with anything, and I use headphones regularly. Hanging around here you are bound to hear about the manufacturing mistakes that aflict all tech devices, especially in the early runs.

For a supplier, I'd stick with Craigix's gp2x.co.uk for UK purchases. He tests the units individually before shipping and is very good at dealing with returns.

And you can talk to him right here if you need help, so I consider that a huge plus =)

GBAX has awesome customer service. I swear Jacqueline is just craigix's zombie slave whose sole purpose is to answer e-mail.

 

[WarmFluffyUK]

Okay GBAX it is, actually I bought my GP32 and PSP from Craig, So I will stick with him then .
