Main Speakers Not Disabling??

[Lupin3rd]

When using the headphones my main speaker doesn't disable? Yes the jack is fully inserted, and the sound on the headphones is ok! Any ideas as to why it doesn't shut the main speaker off?

Sounds like a problem with the head phone jack (pun not intended). Usually there is a connection that separates when the jack is inserted to disable the main speakers. I have never taken a look at the GP2X jack, but it is my best guess.

Many people had the same problem, you gotta resodder the lone wire on the left of the headphone jack, there are 3 on the right, one on the left, it probably snapped, I personally had this problem, and a little soddering job fixed it

if you got it from gbax mate? they will send u a new one if u send it back

no need to send it back: just an iron, open the device, fix the jack, ...and use your brain and your hands!

and if you screw it up, you wont have any kind of warranty...

hum. Fixing he GP2x is much easier than fixing any other device. I can't imagine fixing my Zodiac or my Tungsten T3, seeing the complexity of these devices compared to the GP2x.

I got mine from GP2X.co.uk, do you know what the turn around time is as I've only just got it and have to send it back already?

How am I gonna play Wizball on the C64 emu now?!

I could do it myself but would rather have warrenty!
