hello members
on behalf of my brother whom has a GPD2 SS 2000............... he is having a problen with the hand controller whereby without touching any buttons it suddenly slews uncontrollably in some wayward direction

1 has this happened to any gpd2 owners here, i would like to here from Lewis on this too if he is listening

2 he has changed a power pack just in case it was voltage related, same thing

3 he does not think it is possible(?) that it is the H/C cable? i have checked myastro today and the replacement cable is $221.00...... so an expensive gamble if it is not that / perhaps someone has a cable for us to try?

4 if the H/C is completely "cattle trucked" is there a way of bypassing the HC to operate from a laptop?

5 we cannot believe that you would literally have to throw the baby away with the bathwater over a hand controller!

6 a retro fit is the last option but a very expensive one

any ideas guys n gals?
