I used my Gypsy a couple of months ago and it was fine. Today I plugged it in to recharge it and nothing has happened -- 5 hours later. The blue light comes on, but that's it. Customer Service walked me through a few attempts to make it come and nothing worked. She told me that my screen has gone out. Really!!!? I've probably only used this 4 or 5 times even though I have had it over a year. Her suggestion was to buy another one. As much as I love it, I don't think I'll be spending any more money on it. I think they have a real issue here that needs to be addressed. Shouldn't there be a fix, not just buy a new one?! Also, I tried connecting it to the computer and Gypsy Sync says the device was not found. Is that really a screen issue only?

Hey, there! I've got the "black screen of death," myself. If it's true that there's no fix for it if I didn't update on time, what happens if I invest in a new one? How do I load all my cartridges onto a new Gypsy? By the way, my Gypsy has done this before, but if I let it use up its battery power, I can charge it and it works just fine. If I can get it to do this one more time, I'll try updating it, and maybe I won't be totally hosed. Kinda bugs me. As I've poked around in various places, I hear this same problem cropping up all over the place. Bites!!
