Power Socket Help

[meandu229]

my dc power socket seems not to work, had ma gp 4 bouit 2months and i have neva had it working.i have tried everything,, i am one of those people who has every type of lead out there , i have tried all of them and i have 3x 3v 300Ma leads so i am sure it aint that,, is there a specific plug for it..
is it because it is a korean import and i live in england,,help

*extra long sigh* send an email to where ever you got it from, they should replace or repair it.

Sounds like its either your GP or the power unit, if the power unit works with the same leads on something else then it looks like your GP thats at fault. Either way something needs repairing by the sounds of it.

Did you try taking out the batteries before plugging in the adapter?

that shouldnt make any diff


mine is a pain slightist movement and it resets you have to make sure its well in
i use one of the multi- adapter i bought of a bosnian down the local car-boot

Have you tried switching the polarity round? Yes? Well, I don't have any ideas then.

Removing the batteries made a diffrence for me, my adapter wouldn't work with the batteries in the gp32.

That's odd, because my one does (and I know it's not running off the batteries because I tested it with a flat set!).

If you already tried switching polarity...
Mmmh, 300mA is not enough for my FLU, it just goes crazy when I turn it on...
But I don't know if an excessive amperage would damage your unit...
I just bought two pairs of rechargeables to cycle between use and recharge.

All I can suggest is to:
1: check the plug size, the GP32 has a rather rare size to it, it be the sames size as the one for Gameboy Color.
2: Makes sure you have the right polarity (check the manual of both the plug and GP32)
3: Use the right vlotage and current
4: Do not leave batteries in, there have been stories where either the battery or plug stopped working.
5: If all else fails either:
a. Get it fixed/replaced
b. Buy rechargables
