Maybe you need another screen, get one from gbax.

Maybe the contacts aren't too good anymore...
Try opening the thing and clean the contacts between the screen and the mainboard (the scren isn't soldered onto it - is it?)

I actually just emailed GBAX about a new screen, Id not actually thought of that for some reason. But i think i will open it up and see what i can do (probly knacker it completely, but still)

 

[Delsabre]

how about this: dont open it up.
try to return it for a new one. if you flashed the firmware, flash it back and hope they dont notice.

 

[skysnapper]

Have you been overclocking it? Although people have been overclocking for a while with no ill effects...you never know..

 

[craigix]

Don't open it. Return it to where you bought it from.

yeah that's a good point, not too long ago the general feeling was that overclocking would damage the screen - then craig did tests and it was decided that overclocking was PROBABLY safe, still I wouldn't be too surprised if it could cause a problem.. but it could be something else too. if you did overclock, what speed was it at? what programs were you overclocking with?

 

[ralp99]

so, what's the story then...

 

[mccyril]

I bought it from gbax.com, but i also flashed it
I also bought a flu fitted GP32 which arrived this morning, thanx, Can i register it to the same account as my first one, or do i have to sign-up at the website again and re-download the authentication program

 

[Axeman]

You cant register it under the same account, and Entware now dont allow the transfer of perviously bought stuff over to a new account (I tried...).

So you'll have to reregister, both with Gamepark and Entware.

Cheers Axeman
Thats a right pain in the butt cheeks that is,
Ive bought nearly all the games and apps from Entware
Oh well, Im still gonna fiddle with my broken one though, Should be fun if nothing else.

Thanx for everyones help
