Where to find technical information about the Lynx ?

[Lord-Chaos]

Hi,

 

I need technical information for repairing defective Lynx units :

 

-schematics

-maybe infos on well-known (age-related) problems

 

I have lots of not-working units and I hope I can repair some of them.

The best thing I can offer to you is to get yourself a working unit or two and make a test bed so you can do some side by side testing... Also this will help you as well.

 

You can find some schematics here …

And the FAQ has a lot of good technical tidbits for you to chew on. Also check out the list of links listed at the end of the FAQ

Note that most of the info you will find is for the original Lynx I model. You will need to transfer what you learn for it and transfer the info over. There are a few technical differences between the two.

I don't have any more solutions, but one common mistake seems to be that if the power-plug is put into the earphone socket then the sound circuits break and the sound becomes very faint.

 

It would be ice to know which part gets bad.

It´s worse when someone puts it in the Comlynx-port.This can happen,if you use no original power-supply.

 

I think this happened to some of the units,because there are only 2 with sound problems.
