Hey there! I have bought a GP2X with a not working Screen. I made a video out of it, just watch it on youtube, sorry again for the bad quality. I don't think, i can start a career as a youtuber XD
I would like to repair it, but i have no idea, where to search. My only suggestion would be to compare the voltages on different points of the PCB of that Device with a working one, but that would take like forever. If you have some Ideas, pleas share them! :-D
Oh, btw - here is the log file of the puTTY:

it looks completely different from the log in file of the open2x software, so i think, there is a firmware installed.
 
Last year there was a discussion about "voltage regulator broken".
Maybe trying it out with non rechargeable 1.5 V batteries?
(I hope it is that easy...)
