I Bought 3 Broken Atari Lynx Handhelds - Let's Try To Fix Them! This is my first time trying to fix these Atari handhelds so this should be interesting. One won't power on, one won't read games consistently, and, of course, there are capacitors to replace. This are worth a good amount so hoping I can repair at least 2 of them.

I took my first one ever apart the other day. And it was the one from my childhood. I have never seen another one out there. And I do a lot of repairs as an side job. With times I get a table at the local trade center. Did find another turbografx 16 the other day at an estate sale. $20 and it works like brand new. Have it up for sale after taking it apart, cleaning it, inspecting everything and making sure it fully worked. It was box complete too. That was another not many seen consoles. I have 1 from when I was a kid that is still in the factory sealed box. (System is older than me. It was an gift from an relative.) Then one that's opened and my kids and I play it.

@brandonkick Ай бұрын

These always need power stage rebuilds (the parts Steve replaced with the hot air). Sometimes people will replace all the capacitors, but usually it's only the two largest that really need it (C38 and C39 on lynx 1, C40 and C41 on lynx 2) as they are the power stage caps. Unless you know the units been serviced and this work done, it's honestly a bad idea to even try testing these without rebuilding the circuit like Steve did with the hot air tool. Reason being, that circuit is responsible for converting the 9V down to 5V for the rest of the systems use when you apply power through double A batteries, or the AC adapter. That circuit can fail two ways, open or closed. One way the system just doesn't power on any more (safer failure). The other way, the power goes through unregulated.... meaning chips meant to get 5V are getting 9V. There are two custom designed CPU chips on this board. That 9V will kill them, and they are both hard to find and expensive. For that reason alone, you should never power up a lynx to test unless you either rebuild that power stage first OR you supply 5V 1A (using a bench supply) directly to the legs of C39 (lynx 1) or C41 (lynx 2) - the 470uf caps. You can apply 5V 1A there directly and the lynx will auto power up. If you have a game inserted, it should fire up.

@StormsparkPegasus Ай бұрын

@@JohnM-ex4be That's because the Gameboy didn't have a screen light. Screen lights at the time were CCFL which caused MASSIVE battery drain. That is precisely why the Gameboy and Gameboy Color didn't have lit screens, because it wasn't possible at the time to have both a light and decent battery life. Starting with the second model of the GBA they went to LED frontlights (using a reflective screen), and then finally around 2005 we got the modern LED-backlit LCD's that we have today. It wasn't until 2005 that it was possible to have a lit screen wtihout massively sacrificing battery.

@Proteusmoonart Ай бұрын

Steve, the Atari Lynx is infamous for its power supply issues, to test power it’s better to bypass the power supply entirely and inject 5V power at the C4 capicitor (on Lynx II) This bypasses the 9V rail power components that converts to 5V. Sometimes the zener diode fails and if batteries are inserted this sends 9V down the 5V rail, this can actually fry the CPU and RAM. Good to see you working on these as they’re a personal favorite of mine to work on.
