I’ve been doing a lot more gaming than anything else recently so thought I’d do a little post on this.
My hardware of choice right now is the Atari Lynx. The only thing that lets the Lynx down for me was the screen. Anyway A guy known as McWill found on the AtariAge forums makes an LCD replacement so I took the plunge and ordered one.
Installation was a little time consuming but definitely not difficult. I found the hardest part was dealing with the Lynx unit itself, it gets a little awkward reattaching the flex cable.
For some reason I never took a picture of the replacement itself so ill just show the before and after screenshots.

Im very impressed with this thing. Pressing the backlight button will switch on/off scan lines too which is a nice touch.
Ill definately be getting a lot more use out of my Lynx now.
Thanks to McWill for this. Delivery took just a few days (from Germany to UK) and was very well packed.
Game Gear is next on my list when funds permit.

Wow this is VERY impressive. I’ve heard there is a similar replacement for Gamegear as well. I’m really looking forward to trying both.
Nice 🙂 does it also make batteries last longer?
i guess it should in theory but im not throwing 6 AA’s at this thing to find out. Rechargeable’s just dont cut it either.
