Where Can I Fix A Gp32

[Lobster]

Anyone run up a quick list of websites to send my busted GP32? I'm looking for a good price. Also, does anyone sell spare parts (or even a used motherboard)?

What do you mean with "busted", a bad flash?

There's no such thing like a discount GP32 repairshop. If you ask me, you can be happy if you find someone who repairs it at all.

You can see how it got broken here.

you could look out for anoher broken GP32 and make 1 good one from the 2 broken ones

Try emailing console-fix and see if they can do anything to help you. I'd have said it could be repaired by replacing the same component that needs replacing when they totally blow with a big current (or voltage or whatever it is) but I'm hardly any good with electronics.

woaaah 9V that is crazy some gamepark god must love you this lil korean handheld is very VERY picky abouy voltage i am suprised it still works.

but if it still runs that must mean you switched it off just in time before the killa volts hit the cpu and other vitals, if it still works but is using up batterys quickly it must be something to do with the circuitry closest to the batterys.

(i am not too techinical) but i remeber when i was into the portables scene that certain components would "waste" voltage by converting it into thermal energy kinda like 7805's which would maike the device less effecient.

again i am not too techinical take a high res shot of your motherboard and maybe if you ask very nicely some uber hardware dudes like that cobbleware guy can help you out.

Now that you say so, I have somewhat narrowed down the wrecked components: L1 coil and the capacitor right next to it, although there may probably be more burned components. But the coil heats up incredibly (finger burning!!!) while an ideal coil or capacitor should not dissipate heat at all, real-life caps heat up minimally due to low internal resistance. With the plastic casing, if I play for about 10 minutes you can really feel heat coming from inside. On certain intensive emus like openSNES the front light flickers a lot (power circuit giveaway). All that's left is to buy those parts but where!!?!? anyone sell spares cheap!!

Anywhere realy, just dont loose the screws I would recommend a table with good bright light so you can see what you are doing
