Repairing Atari Lynx II dead pixels

Hi all,

I bought the attached Atari Lynx II.

I have recapped it to fix the no sound issue, then I also noticed it had a lot of discoloured pixels a purple sort of colour.




Anyone know what it could be and or how to repair it ?

Thanks in advance

 

It's toast. When LCD shows "holes" like those picture, it's gone as you can't just take the LCD panel apart to redo the liquid crystal. Unfortunately it's fairly common with Lynx LCD. Your solution are: find a cheap deal Lynx that still has good LCD or spend $140 for McWill's new LCD that is much better than 25 year old technology Atari used back then.

 

If you are an Atari Lynx enthusiast, then getting a modern LCD for it would be a must. It will completely change the way all the games feel and play. It may be expensive, but for the right people it's totally worth it.

 

Just messaged McWill about a replacement LCD screen for it.

In the mean time I will try and source a faulty one on eBay to harvest a screen from.



Thanks for the advice

 

Also a quick note, if anyone wants to know what speaker to use when replacing the internal speaker use this one.
