ATLynxer Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) HiI thought the screen was the same for all the Lynx II.So I bought a Lynx II thinking to change the screen with some broken pixels with a perfect one I've got.I opened the "new" Lynx and found it is a C104129-001 REV.2 (never seen before)While others I've got are all C104471-001 REV.ABut on the screen (on both I mean) there is the same code: C104160 REVAEven if the little rectangular plastic sheet attached to the screen flat connector is white on the "new" one (I mean the C104129-001 REV.2 one) while it's black on the C104471-001 REV.A screen.But I repeat: the code on the two screens is the same: C104160 REVAAnyway, the screen of the Lynx C104471-001 REV.A (tested many times and also now) doesn't work at all on the REV. 2So I tested again and that screen works perfectly on a C104471-001 REV.AAnd broken pixels apart, the C104129-001 REV.2 works with its own screen.Do you have any experiences about that thing?

allthingsanalogue Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 This made me look at my screen! Two part numbers but same screen? Very confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GadgetUK Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yes, this is something a few of us spotted back in 2011 / 2012 ish. There does appear to be a couple of different screen revisions for the Lynx II that don't seem to be interchangeable. I was going to mention this in my recent Lynx video but when I looked at the different revs I have here I found no problems swapping the screens around. It's very strange because I am sure both me and LX NET discovered the same in the past, yet recently I found swapping different rev screens around seemed to work for me - maybe I didn't have the exact revisions where the conflict seems to be (ie. Rev.A and Rev.2) So for the moment I would say yes this is the case, but I am not sure where the differences are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
