chipmatica

I know having a broken Lynx for spares is good but I want to bring it back to life!!! I am going to start trying to measure voltages in different points of the board but I don't know where LOL. I have seen the Lynx schematics on this site but they are only available for the first model I suppose... or can I use them with the Lynx II too? Where can I start measuring? the main processors Mikey and Suzy? from Vcc to GND? I really know nothing about reading schematics but I understand the symbols used in resistances, capacitors etc and I have a multimeter This seems way harder than installing a PS2 modchip LOL

mmm I think I have bad news... I did the trick and bridged pins 31 and 33 (actually I picked up a cart and covered all pins except 31 and 33 with masking tape) and got the "insert game" text on my working Lynx 1 but on the Lynx II I still got nothing but black screen of death... I know that on Lynx II systems when you are running out of batteries the orange LED starts to blink and this is happening to me even when using the AC adaptor so I suspect something is wrong with the power line... any suggestions? thanx Karri

I'm interested in the flashcart too, good work Lynxman The bad news are no support for several games at a time like a NDS flashcart :-P that would RULE

Mmm Hello guys I'm new in this forum and I had bad luck with the Lynx I bought last week on Ebay, I have two Mk1 Lynxes since 3 years ago and they work flawlessly but the one I got from Ebay is a Lynx II and it doesn't work. I turn the Lynx on and get a "pop" noise and a black screen, the backlight comes on but the brightness knob has no effect on the image at all, it remains black, the LED power starts to blink and that's all... I'm going to try to do this but I don't know the location of pins 31 and 33, can anybody tell me? I checked the Q12 voltage regulator and got this values: GROUND to 1st leg: 6,3 Volts GROUND to 2nd leg: -0,20 Volts Is this normal? what values should I get? Thanx in advance
