I’d like one please.

Im sorry youre having trouble - Im sorry I didnt do a proper guide or add more photos or a schematic. Ill try to post something more. To be more clear, I didnt do anything with the power button on the ONN circuit board itself. My ONN battery pack seems to automatically turn on as soon as it senses a draw from the USB Type A port. I believe the power switch I mounted in the Power hole in the Lynx case sits between the C41 positive post and the positive 5V output line of the USB Type A port. The power button I purchased to install in the Lynx (linked above) is a true on/off switch - you press and it clicks on, press again and it clicks off. It isnt a momentary switch.

Hi ninsei, necrocia reached out and offered that I should do a guide or howto on Atari Gamer but I havent had the time to respond much less create the guide. To help you with your mod, the advice Id give is: 1. Wiring and placement - when you disassemble the ONN power bank, separate the battery from the board. The battery needs to fit under the screen in the old battery compartment area and the board should be glued/mounted/affixed at the top of the Lynx mothernboard. I ran wires throughout that connected the ONN board, Lynx, battery, and switch. Sorry no diagram here. 2. Getting power from ONN board - remove/desolder the big USB Type A port from the ONN board. Thats where You get the 5V output to shoot to the C41 point (via power switch). Look at a USB Type A pinout or use multimeter to see correct points. 3. Dremel use - shave away on the ONN board around the Micro USB port so that it protrudes enough to be easily accessible through brightness wheel hole. Also, you may or may not need to slightly enlarge hole with power button. Depends on if you use a switch cap and if so, how big it is. 4. Switch cap - I had a hard time getting it to fit onto the switch (tight). Eventually, I had to trim the switchs nib down and I added a tiny dot of glue just in case. Good luck!! Its been working well for me. Let us know you experience and if you can improve on this mod!!!

Sorry to revive a year-old topic, but I wanted to post my experience with a Lynx battery mod and this post seemed on-point. I went to Walmart and purchased an ONN power bank for $4.88 and purchased push button power switches from Amazon for $4.98 and then got some switch caps to make it pretty from Digikey for $0.15. Used lots of hot glue for mounting after using a dremel for the power bank circuit board (to trim around the MicroUSB connector). Total cost: $10.01. Since I did the McWill screen mod, I took the brightness wheel out which was a perfect spot for a microUSB jack (hot-glued in the circuit board from the ONN power bank). I desoldered the original Lynx power jack and replaced it with a push button power switch from Amazon. Once that power is switched on, the ONN power bank circuit board sends 5V to capacitor C41 and the Lynx comes to life. After removing the plastic battery tray in the Lynx and the foam from the inside of the battery door, the ONN power bank's lone 18650 (I think) Lithium cell fits there perfectly. Not sure how much playing time I'll get but I've been gaming for almost 3 hours so far and still going. I know this may not be perfect and you guys might have done better mods but this was certainly cheap and pretty easy so I wanted to share details in case others want to attempt. Thanks!

Hello! Please put me on the list for one with the case. Thank you!
