Hi @ all,

??? Did you flash your Gp32? Was it used? Do you remember what you did before this started happening?

 

[Crocomire]

sounds like a bad flash

 

[woogal]

Just sounds like dead batteries to me.

 

[Jr2swiss]

Yeah it does sound like bad batteries, but I thought multifirmware only does that.

 

[Kingpin000]

I played Doom before.
It was used. But it works for 1 week now. But now it won´t boot.

It is flashed with multi-firmware.

PS: I have used new batteries and oldies

 

[Jr2swiss]

So is it ok now or you still need help.

So when you just turn on your gp32 it does nothing at all.

 

[Lethe]

try new batteries.

 

[RockOut]

I think that he already andwered that.

 

[Tobriand]

Also try without an SMC inserted. It probably won't work, but it potentially might... If it does, use Pacrom's (assuming you're in the MultiFW, which from the bios monitor it sounds like you are) ability to scan SMC in tools. Hopefully that'll help.

Otherwise, batteries, batteries, batteries.

Hi,

i tried new batteries, but it won´t work.

It "boot" up in the Bios Monitor. But from there i can´t play. I can´t choose my bios etc.

is it aqua fisheds or spivs mfimware.

it's spis because it has the bios monitor !

i think you'll need that someone reflash your gp32 with a jtag...

 

[sam fisher]

yeah forgot about that. I always use yours aqua fish. Its better if you ask me. Yeah did he flash it himself?
If him/her flashed it their self they probably turned it off to soon.

i heard somewhere that on few (very few!.) gp32s the firmware become broken after some time (without you do any thing), i think it's maybe that...

I think from what i remember seein on the news page a while ago you can now send your broke/badly flashed gp32's to gamepark europe to get em fixed.

Im sure i remember readin that, but may have imagined it. :blink: :unsure:

 

[aquafish_]

yeah it was true, it was someone from www.gp32eu.com but he stopped doing that; but if you need, i can reflash it, i've also a jtag cable for that

 

[Kingpin000]

Hi,

where can i get a jtag cable or where must i send it to repair and what will it cost???

[aquafish_]

you can make your own cable (there are shems on robster website, i dont remeber the url...) or you can send me your gp32, it will just cost you about 10 euros for the postal cost of the return..
