What About The Product Recall?

[Big_bazza99]

Does anyone have any definitive update on the product recall, when it will happen etc and if it is only the first 500 units.

Mine is serial # 486 and the screen flickers since it has been upgraded to 1.01.

The GP2X is a great unit and the PSX emu is a god send.

Anyone got any news - GBAX say they are waiting for GPH to advise.

my serial i suppose is 117 so i am kind of wondering if there will be a recall? i didnt upgrade to 1.01 (if it aint broke ya know) so i dont know about any scren flicker, cept when the batteries get low

I still just do not understand how the hell this could be a hardware issue if it only appears after a firmware flash.

Surely it's the firmware which causes the flickering and whatever it is can be replaced/removed for the next FW release?

the recall is for koreans only .... and ... i don't think you have the GP2X 486 ....

each assambly-line-run has a serialnumber 486 ... your gp2x must be one of the FIRST run with the number 486 to have this number.

Mine is "GP2X101 - 32" ...

GPs from the first run post GP2X001, so mine isn't serialnumber 32.

thhat's not about the 500 first ones i guess, mine has a flickery screen too and is a v102 , i guess it's just a problem of lcd timing in the firmware, and it'll be fixed soon

My v102 has a flicker as well. I wonder if a lot more of the v102s are suffering from this. Oh well I can ignore it for now I guess.

This sounds bad, a recall, glad im getting mine late

Mine is GP2XV102 - 00000632
Guess im ok

Although there seems to be a slight flicker on my screen I don't know if this is anything to worry about

First edition here, 101 00000331

Likewise flickering in some areas, hope this is just a software issue. REALLY hoping.

V001 - 00000536 here, flickers like its going out of fashion. Did before the 1.01 firmware update, does after.

And my up is insanely sensitive, so much so that using left or right without doing a diagonal up is next to impossible.
