chaozz Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Yesterday on a retro gaming convention I spotted an Atari Lynx. When I asked them to turn it on it wouldn't fire up using the adapter. So I bought it as broken for 5 euros because I noticed the power connection was very loose. Seemed fixable. At home I inserted batteries and fired her up. Sadly the screen seems fubar (see attached photo). I tried reseating the two ribbon cables without success. Does anyone know what is wrong with this Lynx and if it's fixable?

7800fan Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It could be the cable on the LCD itself has started coming loose. If you can apply the same trick for fixing Gameboy LCD, it may work. If it doesn't work, you can get replacement LCD cheap. People here have spare LCD that are good after doing McWill mod. Or if you want great looking easy to see LCD and have about $150 to spend, ask McWill for one mod kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaozz Posted May 16, 2016 Author Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks for the reply! How much would a cheap replacement LCD cost me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaozz Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 I bought another broken Lynx, hoping I can create one working Lynx from the both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
