Some Queations On The Gp2x

[HungryWolf]

Ever since I've had the GP2x I've had a slight problem with dust getting under the screen. There's a lot and there's annoying. So I have two questions; how can I get it out, and how can I prevent it?

Also, recently my cap on my joystick has gotten really loose. Not that it falls off, but that it rotates easily, which is pretty annoying as well because it makes my finger slip to the wrong direction.

I have an MK1, which as far as I know, has a crappy cap. Should I just get a new cap?

Thanks.

I had to take apart the unit, blow out the dust then re-assemble.

Yes, get a new cap. DaveC used to make one out of indestructable Nylatron GS™, but stopped after both GPH and GBAX ripped him off

It can be done in two ways:
- removing front LCD protector (will need hairdryer and some thin knife like object)
- diassembling whole unit (not that hard but be carefull as LCD has some glue to front panel)

Yes, get a new cap. DaveC used to make one out of indestructable Nylatron GS™, but stopped after both GPH and GBAX ripped him off

At least they could make it more similar to DaveC's one. What they are now they aren't bad (and parsecs away from the first GP2x's caps) but hardly as optimal.

Really? What happened?

He means that they started making and distributing caps with concave tops like DaveC's cap had.

Ah, I see. I'd take it apart but I'm afraid that I'd screw something up, then I'd be really pissed because I love this thing.

Also, where would I go to buy a new cap?
