Atari Rescue Group Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I found a Lynx II today for $5.00 Unfortunately it doesn't work. I tried batteries and my neighbor who has one plugged in his power supply and it wouldn't fire up. What usually makes these things die? I'd like to get it to growl again.

cryptik76 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Do you have a Lynx game plugged into the system before you turn it on? It won't turn on without a Lynx game in the cartridge slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 A dead cat?! Lynx=type of wild cat. Don't lose that free Ballblazer I'm sending you Sorry I don't know about fixing up the Lynx, I know at a video shop around here they are always resoldering Nomads at the power supply port to get them working again. Maybe someone who knows what they are doing can have a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 Yup, a game was in the slot before turning the unit on. Hopefully I'll be able to find someone who will be able to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBizDude Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 It will turn on with no cart in the slot. "Insert Game" should come across the screen in red letters. I seem to recall something about a "Q4" transistor often being the culprit. If you dig deep enough into these threads, you should come across something.
