i found my sisters power plug for her cell phone it fits in my gp32 but its 7 volts will i blow my gp32?

Yes, it will fry your GP32 like this morning's eggs!!! It can only handle 3volts.

Check the bottom of the GP32 printed into the plastic next to the power in socket
It says "DC 3V IN" and also tells you the polarity

Of coarse, even 3.6 volt is to much.

scuse me but is possible repair the gp32 in this situation?i need help becouse i'm in this same situation!

 

[Axeman]

Doing this will usually only fry one or two components. A few people have repaired gp32s after such an accident, but I cant remember who they were!

Meh, I'll say it again (Although I think my case is just special), I have plugged my GP32 to my adapter at [ositive polarity and 4.5v TONS of times, and it still works. BUT, it's still not exactly safe to do so, so don't go trying it at home kids!

i haven't had this experience, but if you're repairing it yourself, i think it will litterally be a couple of pence, i believe its only a diode and a capasitor that need replacing
