Wtb: Faulty Gp2x

[Jaw]

well, good news, i got the machine running (sort of) replaced what was missing on the board, but encountered another problem, the joystick assy is now knackered for some reason, won't recognise any of the up directions, the board is alright tho, as they still work when jumped with a bit of wire.

anyway, does anyone have a joystick part knocking about from an old project or perhaps when they've been removed from a d-pad mod or whatever.

or were they available from somewhere? i'm sure i seen them for sale on a web page..


cheers,
Carl.

I believe this site sells them, although their site is down at the moment. They are UK: http://www.rs-components.com/

Why not take this opportunity to mod your case with a D-pad instead? Far better.

 

[Jaw]

yeah, RS that's it, cheers. i'll have to wait for them to sort out the webpage.

i don't see the point in doing a d-pad mod, i'm one of the few people who found the original stick alright to use

website is back up. i can't seem to find it on there, there are a quite a few joysticks, but they are POT controlled, not switch.

do you have the part number or something?

thanks,
Carl.

What did you do to break the casing in the first place?

 

[Jaw]

i opened it to repair something that had fallen off the board when i dropped it, and put screws back in that were the wrong ones, they cracked the front of the casing and split off the screw holes where the screws attatch to. whilst doing that the board got damaged AGAIN! heh.

You must have been using a lot of force at the time. :blink:

not really, the plastic used is really really brittle.
