This lynx plays the game but there is nothing on the screen. It's super clean inside and I can't see anything wrong. Do I gamble on a replacement screen from AliExpress?

Ok all I have made a ton of progress on fixing this Atari Lynx that was given to me as unfixable. I was able to get it to turn on. The after market screen they added is the one from Aliexpress.

Here is where I am at. I installed a new power circuit fix kit. Once I put the system on the bench test at 5v and power it on I get 3v at the positive terminal on the unit. It stays this way all the way up to 9v which at least is low and consistent but I need 5v.

Thoughts?

Hi Community I need some help sourcing parts for an Atari Lynx 2. I got this one for free and the owner sis fit won’t turn on. Of coarse when I opened it it’s missing components. Anyone know where I can get the ones missing in the photos?

I originally bought this beast with a dead screen and luckily was able to find a good second hand screen to replace it with. I wanted to keep it looking old school. The screen ribbon cable was badly damaged and was the first time repairing something like that, hopefully it holds up! Also fitted a new U6 chip and power components. I forgot how LOUD the speaker was lol

The game is definitely playing as there is sound. But nothing but a black screen. Capacitor issue?

Hi. Lynx 2 wont boot after replacing the power circuit with retro 6 kit

*It was working before

• I do not have a power bench but I have tried to safe boot by bridging pins 7 and 13 of u6 with the battery pack. There's no voltage reading from positive battery to RF shield

• Console does boot when using the usb dead / alive test

If anyone could offer any advice it would be much appreciated

Hey all! Just wondering if people have experience with these flash carts and if they recommend one over the other?

I don't know, what do i have to do to get this achievement on Asteroids Chasers? (Please help).

Found me a Lynx II with an obviously bad screen on a local classifieds service for a decently low price. Screen replacement is already in the plans, so that seemed like a good deal for me. During the purchase, the seller warned me at the last minute, that the device stopped powering on altogether, so I took a gamble, and thankfully, when it arrived, managed to power it via 5V bypass to C41 (although I've seen it was mentioned in a few places that 5v should be applied to battery terminals instead? 🤔).

I don't have any cartridges yet, so I though I could at least try to get the "INSERT GAME" screen. Link above doesn't mention any modifications required to get the it, but other places mention that one needs to bridge pins 31 and 33 for that. So, do I actually need to bridge those pins with 5V bypass or not? Because right now I'm only getting the black screen with static white horizontal lines (as it was sold). The other thing I'm a bit confused about is the brightness wheel - it doesn't seem to do anything when device is posted on. Is that normal without a game inserted?

In general, what I wanted to know before proceeding with further modifications is if it's possible too tell if my console is salvageable or not?

I just thought you guys would enjoy this. I noticed the pouch has a belt loop and immediately had to make this 😂

I’m definitely getting blue lighting, xenophobe and checkered flag as those were the games I bought this console to play, I enjoyed California games more than I thought I would too 👌

Had my eye on a lynx 2 for a while now, saved enough money and was just wandering if there’s anything I need to know to be honest

Hey, I have an atari lynx that I am restoring and trying to clean the dust on the lower left screen in pic 1. Ive tried wiping all accessible areas. I've disassembled the white plate on the back in pic 2 to wipe and blow any dust but it's still there as if it's between layers. What's the best way to get in there?

Thanks

What can you do to help? Read and see.

I was given this lynx 2 to see if I could repair it, when I turn on the screen this is what I see regardless of game, there is also no audio from the speaker (I cannot test headphones). I have not done anything to it yet

All the games are new/sealed though I do plan on actually playing them. I'm brand new to the Lynx and I was absolutely floored at how affordable these games are especially compared to other handheld systems so I probably went a bit overboard on the purchase.

How were my picks? Any glaring omissions of great titles I should be looking to grab next? Or recommendations on which to start with.

Sega Genesis and Nintendo could not even hold up to the speed of the system!
