Stripey lines here too

​

What do we do now? I'm trying to follow DJwillis' guide, but theres no mention of stripey lines, is it jtag time?

​

Dunno about you, but I'm sending mine back.... which is a pain, as I don't live in the U.K (gbax).

EDIT: For a new one, of course, not for my money back

I figured that out, but aprently he uses a different email, I contacted him though. In simple words, we are screwed. The u-boot seems to be destroyed and the only thing to do is send it back. I have to wait for gp32z to get a way to repair it first though <_<

As for the batteries they are charged, I have tried many different kinds. Trust me they are not the batteries.

Read thru this first;

if that does not work...

disclaimer: anything you do my fry your GP2X beyond repair... do this at your own risk.
If you were really bent on making your own JTAG:

here are some links:

http://openwince.sourceforge.net/jtag/
http://jtag-arm9.sourceforge.net/hardware.html
http://hri.sourceforge.net/tools/jtag_faq_org.html

all that only applies if you can't send it back to be repaired... (which is much cheaper and easier)

Those colored lines sounds like exactly the same ones that I have on my unit.. Except mine was like that when I got it.

Just in case anyone is interested,

I turn on the GP2x to a white screen which gradualy, but unevenly fades to magenta stripey vertical lines and slowly more coloured lines start to appear in a random order.

What I thought was a bit odd is that the stripes always appear in the same order, there is a distinctive yellow line on the left hand side followed by two thicker blue lines and one black stripe on the right hand side.

Its so frustrating, especialy with the Megadrive emu just around the corner.
