I've got a dead lynx (and a live one :)). The dead ones in pieces, but, what is the backlight?, it looks like a mini flurescent tube light to me but surely it cant be?

Doh!! stupid board changing the title from II to Ii :p
 
Hey hey, I've just realised the BBC, Electron and Lynx Mikey and Sally chips are all 6502 CPUs :ph34r:
 
That is why the Lynx had such shitty battery life. A clever hardware hacker could gut out the bulb and it's voltage increasing circuitry and replace with white LEDs for super deluxe battery life.

true, but we need to ask ourselves; is it really worth it for an atari lynx? :eek:

You dare call yourself daclassicgamingmaster, and ask a question like that? :ph34r: :huh:

Unless, by classic you mean the olden days of PS and vintage retro games like Tomb Raider... :p
