BennVenn Atari Lynx Model 2 LCD Installation
Welcome to Candi's Classic Game Shrine!
Today on Tinker Time DIY I am showing everyone how to install the BennVenn Atari Lynx Model 2 LCD replacement kit. This mod is for beginner to intermediate dodders and is significantly easier to install than the McWill mods of similar natures.
For written step-by-step instructions, I made this quick write up.
BennVenn Lynx Model 2 LCD Replacement
1. Disassemble Atari Lynx by removing rubber pads and remove 4 outer screws.
2. Remove Battery Door and unscrew battery compartment
3. Undo the 2 ribbon cables behind battery compartment
4. Undo the 2 wires for the speaker and the OG backlight
5. Remove 4 screws for the existing screen (bin the screen but keep the screws)
6. Take your new screen, remove protective film on front and place down in the top half of the Lynx shell
7. Take your 3D printed screen bracket and place over the existing 4 holes that held the original screen in and secure screws.
8. Remove inductor at L17 on motherboard
9. Gather 12 wires between 24 to 30 gauge and roughly 6 inches in length. Using wires of different colors may make it less confusing when attaching the wires to the system. The higher the number of the gauge, the thinner the wire.
10. Prepare wires and solder points on both the main motherboard and the motherboard for the new LCD screen with some flux and solder. You will be preparing (THESE PINS)
11. Attach wires on the designated pins of the main motherboard and then attach the other ends to the new screen
12. Reassemble Lynx and enjoy
