Thankyou very much! That is very helpful to know. I'll give this a go.

Hello hello, I am attempting a fairly extreme restoration of a lynx I was handed in pieces (at least extreme for me, I am not a professional at this in any way). It appears that the previous owner had attempted a type of VGA mod on the device. I have unsoldered the corroded mess of a vga port, cleaned up the board and resoldered back the original battery terminal wires - but there is absolutely no power when I put in batteries. The casing around the tube has what looks like burn/blackening across it, and N4 appears to be soldered into share the spot for D18? Unsure if that is normal (Image 2). Is anyone able to take a quick look at the attached images and suggest anything I could try or do to try and get this unit powering on? Its a PAG-0201, unsure if that helps. EDIT: I have just been digging through the history on this forum for Atari Lynx I fixes and noticed a comment regarding having the game in when turning it on - will it not turn on if there is no cart? I don't have a game to test with it, could this be contributing to my total no reponse to powering it on? Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone!! I was looking for a little advice as apparently googling this has prooved fruitless. I picked up a bunch of second hand Atari 2600 games at a garage sale and found that the copy of River Raid has a chip visible on the board from the opening? I have another (same version) copy of River Raid already that does not have this chip (actually none of my games with the same "look in" opening had this chip. The cart itself doesn't seem to work - and get's sligtly jammed in the device when I put it in, however it does still fit and clip in. Anyone happen to know what it might be? Thanks for any adivce!
