I'm very sorry but you need to have it reflashed, which means you most likely won't be able to take it with you.

You need a J-Tag Cable to reflash.

:huh: , what do you mean, did you try to flash your gp32 and it failed?
no drivers?, that has nothing to do with your gp

 

[patrick c 93]

i tride to instal the driver but it just came on with a blank screen and that is all

What was you doing to/with it before it got into this state ???.
You wasn`t by any chance trying to flash the firmware, Was you ???.
If that is the case, What happened ???, Did you turn it off before you got the on screen message (something like) "Ok to reset your GP32" ???. If this is so, Then you have a dead GP32. The only way to get it repaired is by use of a Jtag cable, Of which there is only one or two people who have such a cable. As for offering a re-flashing service with such a cable, I have no idea.

You didn't really say anything; the question is.. how did you get it to how it is?

If you bought it with no firmware, then send it back; if you tried to flash new firmware on it and screwed it up, or it crashed or somesuch during trhe flash.. you're dead. (ie: This is rare.. usually only occurs if you reflash while having batteries about to die..)

If you're dead, you'll have to send the GP32 to someone who knows how to flash it back to working.

Console Fix offer a reflash srvice, while they won't be able to get it done by tomorrow it's your best bet.

 

[patrick c 93]

[Angel]

how do you expect to transfer it to your GP32 if it won't load?

 

[patrick c 93]

with my card reader

If he's dead I don't think he'll be reading you reply Jeff LOL

 

[Angel]

Card readers cannot repair a bad flash. The GP32 cannot read the SMC since you've wiped out the bios. I believe thats correct..anyway, without firmware, you can't load anything on your GP32.

Did flash your gp or did you install drivers on your pc WHAT???

Not half as annoyed as his parents will be, Especially if they have just brought it for him.
