What do you get with this service?
Replacement of the capacitors of your Atari Lynx I or II.
This service will also replace the main MOSFET, which is notorious for failing and stopping the console from booting and potentially causing further damage down the line. In fact, the Atari Lynx power circuits has multiple components that can fail and allow full 9 volts to the main chips, possibly damaging them. As part of this service, I will test the power circuit and replace the main MOSFET. If you would like the rest of the power circuit to be replace as well, please select this option from the drop down list before adding to the cart.
The replacement capacitors and the MOSFET are included within the service regardless if you decide to replace the rest of the power circuit or not. The power circuit components beyond the MOSFET are only included if the Full Power Circuit Replacement options is selected. We will always use quality components from available pre-made kit sources in the UK. Please note that we normally do not stock kits, so there might be a delay in processing your console if there are delays on us getting your kit.
Please let us know if your console is a model I or model II, as the capacitor lists are different.
What you don’t get with this service
This is not a repair service from a completely dead console. If your console doesn’t show power at all, it might be due a failed power circuit, which might or might not have caused further damage in the chips as explained above. If you would still like us to diagnose and try to repair your console, please get in touch and we can discuss this service separately.
Shipping
You are responsible for shipping the system in adequate packaging to our address. An email will be sent to you after purchase with some suggestions about how to do this as well as shipping details. The cost of you shipping your system to us is not included in the price of the service.
The shipping we do charge for this service is to send the console back to you when the service is finished. To the extent possible, we will use the same packaging material you used to send the system to us in the first place. We will replace packaging material if it is damaged when we receive it at no cost to you.
