therbking1980 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I bought a faulty lynx 2 console that I am wanting to get restored/repaired. However it is missing all the screws, does anyone know what size screws I need to replace them with and how many please. There is no information anywhere online and I would love someone's help if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lengths of the screws appears to be 12mm (including the head of the screw). Inside you need 6 self-tapping screws with an outer diameter of 3 mm. The length of these appears to be 10mm (including the head of the screw). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a hardware store? Here is a picture of a Lynx 1 screw that is longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week I sent a loose Nintendo DS game to the UK in the poly bag (2oz) and it cost $13.50 because it cant go through the mail sorting machines. But if it was a flat envelop then they would of only charge a fraction of the price around $4 since it can be machine sorted. I know it sucks US Postal system has raised prices like crazy the past couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
