I bought this faulty Atari Lynx on ebay and thought I'd have a go at repairing it. It came in the original box with the Batman game and is in overall very nice condition. I paid a grand total of £10.74 ($16.55 USD) with free shipping.

The seller said the fault was that it would switch on but not boot games. He/she also mentioned that several games had been tested in the unit giving the same results (ruling out a faulty game cartridge). I'm going to attempt to repair the console and keep it for my collection. If anyone has any experience with this fault/console or has any ideas about how to repair it, please let me know :)

Thanks for watching!
