Help!!!

Hi

i just received my gp32 2 days ago. Everything went fine but then , yesterday, this happens:

i was plaiyng doom and suddendly my gp32 went off! then , when i tried to power it up again, the gp32 logo appears and then it makes a really weird noise and shuts off!!

I dont think its the batteries, the light was still good (i own a FLU), i didn´t use an ac adaptor, i din´t flash the rom, what can it be?? I m really worried about the noise it makes when it shuts off!!

Can anyone help?? :huh:

it realy sounds like batterie, try fresh ones.

 

[Lontra99]

But is that cracky sound normal when you ran out of batteries??

Yeah Doom is pretty battery hungry, like Vimacs said try new ones. General rule of thumb is anything like that happens try new batterys. The GP can be crackley sometimes soundwise.

Thanks a lot guys!!!

I will try new ones as soon as i get home.
I didn´t tought it could be the batteries cuz the light of the flu was still on and i read somewere that the light would turn off first and then the gp32. But any way, thank you

The first time my GP32's batteries died I thought it was imploding on itself. :unsure:

First the sound started crackling, then the screen started fading...

and I kept playing through it. :lol:

Even after your batteries 'die' you may still be able to play a game that uses a lower CPU speed. (like GB)

yes, it was a baterry problem. I just tought that the light would fade off first, and then the gp 32 would shut down. But this happened realyy quickly and i tought something was broken or something!!!! that was scary

anyway, i put on new batteries and voilá, good as new.

Thank you for your very useful help

When the batteries go the screen tends to turn off and the light does too but the red LED stays on. I hate that GP32 has no low battery indicator like GB/GBA/ETC... does, it would really help out.

Yeah, you get very affraid when the batteries dies the first time
The worst thing is when you play a game and you haven't saved it for a while and the batteries goes off.
It haven't happend to me yet, but I'm sure I would be damn angry!

oh yeah, VERY scary the first time it happens! :lol:

It is kinda scary but I didnt jump to conclusions and just tried new ones and it worked


2000 Mha battries are too short need to find bigger ones(I play too much SNES w/ sound)

first time the batteries died on me i almost had a heart attack.. i was playing F-Zero and suddenly the picture split up into 4 pieces. then the gp32 rebooted and gave wiered sounds and the picture was all messed up.. puh...
