Hey guys,
I recently found an old Atari Lynx, and thought it would be awesome to get that running again.
Unfortunately it didnt turn on anymore, after checking it, I found the zener diode was busted.
Having repaired that, it still is failing, and was wondering if any of you guys had experience with fixing a Lynx, and would have some leads for me where to look.
I'm just getting started in electronics, so I appreciate all the help I can get
regards,
Dennis

I had a busted Lynx I, turned out the only fault was that the battery compartment was not "compatible" with rechargeables, no connection. Garden variety AA's worked fine. Might be as simple as that.

I checked, I am actually using normal battery's (normal as in, non-rechargeable). And I actually get 9 volts out of it, so that is fine too...
It's somewhere else that is busted, but have no clue as to where :/

did you check if any of the capacitors were busted? In the past I've brought game gears back from the dead by recapping
