Abstract: We study the singular locus on the algebraic surface $S_n$ of genus 2 curves with a $(n,n)$-split Jacobian. Such surface was computed by Shaska in cite{deg3} for $n=3$, and Shaska at al. in cite{deg5} for $n=5$. We show that the singular locus for $n=2$ is exactly th locus of the curves of automorphism group $D_4$ or $D_6$. For $n=3$ we use a birational parametrization of the surface $S_3$ discovered in cite{deg3} to show that the singular locus is a 0-dimensional subvariety consisting exactly of three genus 2 curves (up to isomorphism) which have automorphism group $D_4$ or $D_6$. We further show that the birational parametrization used in $S_3$ would work for all $ngeq7$ if $S_n$ is a rational surface.
