1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $2x - \frac{2}{x^2} = 0$ for $x$.
2. **Rewrite the equation:** Move terms to isolate fractions:
$$2x = \frac{2}{x^2}$$
3. **Multiply both sides by $x^2$ to clear the denominator:**
$$2x \cdot x^2 = 2$$
$$2x^3 = 2$$
4. **Divide both sides by 2:**
$$x^3 = 1$$
5. **Solve for $x$ by taking the cube root:**
$$x = \sqrt[3]{1} = 1$$
6. **Check for extraneous solutions:** Since $x=1$ does not make any denominator zero, it is valid.
**Final answer:**
$$x = 1$$
