Kamikaze

Hi guys and gals, I need your help on this repair project once again. I have two Nintendo Game & Watch Donkey Kong II handhelds, each with its own problems. Most of them I can fix, except for two: - One has a cracked bottom half of the outer shell, one has a cracked top half of said shell. Is there a non-destructive way of taking both halves apart? There is a hollow pin in each of the hinges. Can that be removed safely? - The one with the cracked top had a much nicer top plate (with name). It doesn't seem to be removable. Is that correct?

Recapping is something that had to be done as well. Just like the weak speaker. But both are relatively cheap compared to McWill screens. Especially since I might have the rights caps already in stock (having done a variety of electronic works in the past, including recapping GameGears). I consider those mostly labor, and not so much high-cost parts of the restoration. Out of curiousity: how badly washed out could a new "old stock" LCD be? I doubt this Lynx 2 will get a lot of playtime after restoring, so a slightly washed out image might not be a huge deal (although I have to double-check with my buddy)

I'll have to look into the Best Electronics LCD screens. Might be worth it, if shipping to Europe doesn't make it overly expensive. Thanks for the mention. Never heard of them before McWill is mostly out of the question due to the price. I've read a lot of good and a lot of bad things about them. For the purpose of this restoration (making the Lynx functional while keeping it a original as possible), it's not a good match

A good friend of mine has received this Lynx II, due to a family member passing. He handed it over to me, to see if it is fixable. I'm a bit in a doubt on this one. White screens generally need replacement, but dead lines can be fixed. This Lynx II has both. I opened it up, but the insides seem fine enough (no notable damage on the ribbon cables) Does anyone have any idea where to start? The goal is to get a full image again, but on a low budget. It has nostalgic value, but probably will not be played a lot in the long run. It's more a project for "peace of mind", so my friend can hold on to it knowing it is working as it should. Being a low-budget project, a McWill screen is out of the question (also, since adding the AV-out is not a must for this one). BennVenn screens seem hard to get at the moment (sold out?). A repair or affortable screen seem like the best option to me I added a (high contrast) picture of the screen of the Lynx II
