We are moving all Atari Lynx related content over to Atari Lynx Vault and all our shop content over to K-Retro Gaming. Please update your bookmarks!
As a result of this change, the following will no longer be available: Online Lynx Emulator, Collection Tracker, Game Ratings, News. If you are interested in contributing content to Atari Lynx Vault, we are seeking editors and maintainers.
Why is this happening? First - the Atari Gamer branding is changing to K-Retro Gaming to allow us to expand to providing games, replacement parts, and mod services to other game consoles. And second - The content management system running Atari Gamer is out of date and Google AppEngine (where the website runs) will no longer allow it to run after the 30th January 2024, so in order to preserve all content we switched to a new and modern content management system and chose a website domain that better suits the subject matter. Since we are operating this website in our spare time, on top of full time family and job committments, some features had to be dropped.
⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ We are moving our store to a new e-commerce platform. The new store can be previewed at K-Retro.com. This store will be shut down and all links redirected to the new store in the coming days.
Your order will not be affected.
This mod kit replaces your Lynx's original screen with a modern LCD that presents a sharp, crisp picture. It will also use less power, so you can play on batteries for longer! To extend the life of your Lynx, we recommend that you replace your Lynx's capacitors and power circuit (MOSFET and zener diode) while you're replacing the LCD. We sell Capacitor and Power Circuit Kits to suit both Lynx models.
We offer a modding service and can replace the LCD, capacitors and power circuit in your Lynx for a fee. Please contact us for pricing as each mod is unique.
There are 3 different versions of the LCD kit, so pick one that is suitable for your Lynx. Note - if you have a Lynx Model 2, you should open it first to check what motherboard revision you have. Lynx 2 with the C104129-001 motherboard revision required a different kit compared to the usual model 2.

Note: Each kit (both screen and ribbon, where included) is tested in an appropriate Lynx model to ensure they are working prior to shipment. We use this ROM to ensure that your LCD screen has no dead pixels.
