Need more info.........
what has her diet consisted of?
Sometimes they get lazy and dont want to chase crickets. Try mealworms instead. Or sometimes they dont want worms and want to chase crickets. Vice versa, vice versa.
is she about to shed?
Sometimes before you can tell they are going to shed, they don't want to eat. No big deal, wait till they shed.
Make sure she's got a place to hide on the warm side and the cool side, geckos can be stressy animals and stop eating if they feel vulnerable.
Thats about all I got.........

Her colors lighten up dramatically. I also just saw your post about how you just got her. I bet you anything she's just being skittish about her new environment. Give her some time to accilmate and I'm sure she'll come around for you.

You just got her, it usually takes some time for them to start eating after you get them. It's prefectly normal for your gecko not to eat its first couple of days with you.

It's also good to have a humid hide in there for them. Mine take advantage of theirs ALOT. My little patternless boy loves it in there, but then again, he's always shedding Fat little thing. I just bought a 3-pak of the disposable tupperware containers, left the lid on one, cut a hole in the side, and put wet paper towels in there. Place it on the warm side and you are good to go. You'll know when they shed, they turn a translucent-gray color and get a little irritable. I guess you would call it PSS, Pre Shed Syndrome... Hope that helped. Good luck with her.
Oh yeah, Might want to try some waxworms too, those are awesome at getting anything to eat.
