Nintendo Gaming / RE:GBA SP display flaw??
« on: August 30, 2003, 12:32:15 AM »
The GBA SP (black) I got for my birthday had a dead line of pixels at the top (ser# XEF102xxxxx) . Not wanting this I called Nintendo and later send it to them. I received a new one a couple of days later (ser# XEH113xxxxx).
This screen looked OK, so I was very pleased. I didn't notice anything during the entire day but when I played in the evening I immediately noticed the ghosting effect! I called Nintendo again. The had never heard of the problem but I was allowed to send my SP back again and they'd take a look at it. I got a call from them during the day that they didn't see it. I instructed them to look at it in a dark room and a couple of minutes later they noticed it too! They told me they would send me one without ghosting. Minutes later I received another call. All the other SP's they tested all had the same problem so there was nothing they could do about it. They did however send me yet another one (ser# XEH113xxxxx). Regretably this one is ever worse!!
I'm really fed up with it. I'm not playing on the SP anymore. I constantly see the ghosting effect. A friend of mine also has an SP (blue) and although if you look really hard you can see some ghosting it's not nearly as bad as mine!
Wish I'd kept the first one. This is much worse than the dead pixel line..
