Hello, recently i got my hands on Lynx 2. Unfortunately it has some issue as when i put game in it starts and shows "Insert Game" on screen and stops on that. I was informed that some time ago it was broken and put into repair. Guys in repair shop replaced Zener diode right next metal shielding below cartridge slot (probably power issue which is quite common as i read already). After that console worked some time eventually started doing this. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it?
If you see the Insert Game screen the systems should be ok. With one of the main chips (Miky, Suzy and Ram) broken it will not happen.
Don't know if the problem can be the the chips that interface the cart ( the address shift register or the address ripple counter). If this is the case, they are easy and cheap to replace, but oxid one the cart connector for me remains the most likely cause.
