Eskimo Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I just picked up a couple of Lynxes and a game (Batman Returns) and when I try to play the game, I get a blank screen. After a second the sound comes on, and the options can be selected ( judging by the sound), but the screen remains blank. Is there a simple solution to this? Is it the console or the game? Help'd be nice, thankies in advance. ~ Eskimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Did you adjust the brightness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailChao Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Is the screen emitting any sort of glow whatsoever? if not, your backlight may be dead. Grab an appropriate defective lynx model on eBay (usually unnaturally cheap) and do a swap of the backlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Kat Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 If the backlight turns out to be dead I have a couple spare Model 2 Lynx Screens with working backlights.... PM me if interested in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Leek Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 If the backlight is out, you can usually kind of make out the game if you hold it under bright light. (In my experiance) Kind of like a bad Gameboy advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronfucci Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Realize this is a reach, but do you still have spare Lynx 2 screens ?

For a reason unknown to me I have managed to write stuff for the Lynx that works fine on a Lynx 2 but fails randomly on a Lynx 1 with exactly these symptoms. Perhaps Batman Returns is one of these games that are picky on a Lynx 1. -- Regards, Karri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
