How Can I Get My Gp2x Fixed??

[Wizza]

Hi Peeps,

Ive recently started getting trouble with my gp2x.
its one from the 1st edition batch.

what is happening is that the joystick has become very sloppy.

It turns around 360 degrees anticlockwise also clockwise VERY freely.
When im playing a game (or trying ) you can phisically see it/feel it turning.
i also believe the stick maybe a little bent because if you turn it, it goes loose then goes tight then go a little more then it goes loose again.

it has alot of trouble going left and the diagonals.

so my question is do you know of anybody/ A company who fixes them?

there gotta be someone right? (im in the uk if that makes any difference)

Any Help Would Be Appreciated

i'll be abled to get to sleep in the nights then


cheers

Take off the cap. Does the joystick shaft turn the same way?

You need to pick it up. wiggle it about a bit, press it down, wiggle it about a bit, for about 30 mins, until you feel it *click* back into place.

My Mark 1 is the same. I have tried three caps, but the fact that sometimes it just doesn't register means that I can only use it for video playback. I'm in Germany, and would love to repair it, or get it repaired...?

Just because he lives in Germany doesn't mean he knows who EvilDragon is, or his store/site. I'm sure you couldn't rattle off a list of all German businesses if I asked.

Of course I know who ED is. I'll send it to you so bald wie möglich!

Thanks!!!!
