Still Fresh
OK, just got my GP2X and unpacked it.

Of course, I forgot to order a memory card, but i thought I'd turn it on and have a look anyway.

It booted up fine, I went to the Games icon, then clicked on, I think, a memory card icon - despite not having one. The whole thing made a whirring noise then shut down

I now cant get the bloomin thing to do anything! Have I broken it? Is it a faulty GP2X? Or do I need to insert a menory card to get it moving again.

All i have is black screen, even the power light doesnt come on.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

So when you turn it on, the only thing you get is a black screen?

Try a pair of fresh batteries or an adapter.

The GP2X especially hates the batteries it ships with... I'd recommend buying two sets of 2500 mAh NiMH batteries and a charger (I prefer the 8 hour as opposed to the quick chargers, just my preference).
 
:lol: LOL :lol:
happened to me to :rolleyes: :see here :P
batteries should be the main page of the wiki :P
I've now got 3 sets of 2300mAh and 1 set 2000mAh

welcome to the community!!

Thank you Craig! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Now hopefully there will be fewer of these topics.

I admit the posts are warranted when people first get their GP2X and it crashes immediately, though. First time I saw the "rainbow screen" it freaked me out!
 
~Not to Necro post but im having similar prob . My screen just displays vertical coloured lines at the moment. Very annoying. :angry:

SORRY JUST noticed past posts. Noob alert, lol .
 
My 2X crashed when i inserted an SD card while it was still running(I didn't know that would mess it up at the time...) but after I inserted some new batteries it went back on fine...I guess it was just those type of double AA's are too weak? :huh:
