Part 13,500 Fell Out :(

[ninja_sauce]

Hmm, this cant be good. I noticed a rattling with my GP2X and opened her up to have a look. A Metal componant with 13,500 etched on it promptly fell out the back.

The GP2X still seems to run okay, but am presuming that this want just included in the build for the hell of it and served a purpose...any suggestions onto what i can expect to happen next?

send it in for repair...

I think that's the Flux Capacitor.

does this mean i need to replace the dilithium crystals?

It sounds like an oscillator, send it in for repairs.

Sound, tv-out and other things that rely on an oscillator might fail, or slow down.

no but you better check the power conduits or the eps feed may explode.

Post a pic! and have you bannged up the GP2X to cause the component to loosen?

im confused though, as this happened on thursday - well, i noticed it rattling on thursday, opened her up on friday and out it popped. have been using the gp2x as usual since and there is no difference at all.

of course, sending it in would be the right move, but i dont want to be without it and it seems fine...so just wondering what the 13,500 does - or in my case, did....

and a quick edit to say that i carry it around in my bag, but i dont think that would consitute banging the poor thing up...
