allthingsanalogue Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Okay, so my NOS Lynx arrived yesterday, or so I thought. Whilst it is in very good condition there was a couple of things which caught my eye, three small marks around the Dpad and a 'silver' serial number starting with AU? It would seem it originally came from a dealer in Australia due to some store paperwork in the box. Upon closer inspection I noticed the original white serial label is underneath the silver one. I switched it on and it all worked except a few stick pixels which isnt unusual but Im fitting a McWill screen so not to bothered. I opened it a begin a recap, got half way through and noticed a through hole diode and transistor repair had been done in the past where it should have obviously been surface mount, presumably the common power supply fix as the diode was D13. Ive emailed the seller to explain my findings. Obviously I'll have to keep it now as I've already begun my screen mod but it is somewhat annoying. Maybe it was a store return but whatever it is it wasnt brand new! Edited October 25, 2018 by allthingsanalogue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthingsanalogue Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 Just heard back, he says he bought it from eBay years ago but never used and he was told it was new! In any case hes given me 50 back which I makes me happy enough as this just arrived! Ive also finished the recap and fit the new 'Best Speaker' upgrade, kind of cool as its clear and the speaker grill slightly illuminated when its switched on from the backlight!! I dont know if it will light up though with the McWill. Its also twice as loud as the original speaker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Cool. One thing I never needed was a louder speaker on my lynx. The stock one on my lynx 1 could already be turned up much higher than I would ever want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lynx 2 speakers is about half of the Lynx 1 but from what I’ve read the new speakers upgrade is about the same now as the 1 used to be.
