dman97 Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 OK, I was recently given a Lynx as a gift by my brother in law, but it is missing the AC power jack. I opened it up and saw that the entire jack was desoldered and removed, leaving only 3 little holes where the jack once was. I was wondering if I could head down to radio shack and buy a new jack to replace the old one. I just need to know what size the original jack is. Can anyone help?

Videology Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Which lynx do you have? I've got Lynx I. I can give you specs for it if you need... Let me know! I'll spec it for you when I get home from work today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamer Deluxe tm Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I just checked the plugs of a regular powersupply and this type fits perfectly: It's marked with an 'H', don't know if that means anything. Size is marked as: 3.5 x 1.35 (that's most probably in millimeters) Hope this helps, good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
