#Atari Lynx 1 status update:
* All electrolytic capacitors replaced
* Screen wired and functional
* Screen *re* wired and still functional (sigh - always check physical fit before soldering, Josh)
* DC jack replaced
* Power circuit components replaced (Zener, MOSFET, 2x 3906 transistors)
* Screen fit tested
The "LCD mask" is a terrible fit so I'm going to opt not to install it (sorry Pete). Instead I will paint the silver metal of the screen black so it won't show badly through the glass.
Final steps left:
* Reconnect speaker
* Reconnect battery holder
* Replace the front LCD window glass
* Get the gorram thing back together again 😬
Old plastic window is out. Good old hot air station on 250F. Now to clean the adhesive
Heat gently with hot air station. Reform with tweezers. Heal with styrene glue
@48kRAM Yeah, maybe the screw will help spread the heat a bit? I dunno, sounds good.
@baldengineer Thanks 😊 It's a bit out of round, TBH, but I think installing the screw will straighten it out. Might hot the post again and run the screw in to fix the shape.
