purenergy Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Does anyone repair a "dead" Lynx? One of my Lynx systems died recently. The LED power light flashes on quickly, but nothing else happens. I have tried three different power sources, and several games, but nothing happens except for the quick flash. Any idea if someone could repair it? Thanks, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanza Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 I just bought a dead Lynx II on eBay (which I know it was ) I will dismantle as soon as I receive it, so if I could be helpful I'll post my impressions. I only hope I could do something with it, not just breaking it in half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videology Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 I just saw a web site that had battery covers and other parts available for sale. If you want, I'll see if I can find it again, or perhaps someone reading this string will know of one foe sale! Email me or post here and I will look for that web site again...

Songbird Posted March 25, 2002 Share Posted March 25, 2002 My guess is that the power jack has become unsoldered. Have you tried batteries on this unit? If they work, then the power jack is most likely the problem. Songbird does repair or replace Lynx II units (my discretion) for $49.95 plus shipping.

You can get a replacement battery cover from goatari.com He's a bit high on the costs, but he's got them... Videology Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariman Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 if you need parts or have a lynx repair question, the people at best electronics probably can help. The webpage is www.best-electronics-ca.com I've emailed them a few times and they have been extremely helpful. Their prices are pretty good, too.
