Easiest ATARI LYNX LCD Upgrade from BENN VENN | NO SOLDERING REQUIRED! | Retro Renew

[@RetroDodo]

Dang, that's easy! Great video!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thanks you!! It totally is! I highly recommend it! Cheers my friend!

[@Collinormous]

I Impulse bought a Lynx gen 1 on ebay without even knowing what it was. It was just the first "Ending soonest" for parts item and it was cheap enough and looked interesting. Doesn't power on - I've already got the power module rebuild kit in the mail. Such an interesting console that none of my friends have ever heard of - we all had gameboys and game gears...one friend had the Sega Nomad - but none of us have ever heard of this. Super cool.

[@joshmiller887]

I don’t have a Lynx, but I really enjoy your content and have tried several mods you’ve shown. Keep up the great content!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Josh! Will do buddy! Cheers!

[@RetroDawn]

I have my Lynx from BITD. Atari gave me it as a token of their appreciation for me organizing, advertising (at games stores), and running a Lynx games tournament. I have another Lynx that I purchased from someone recently that I will be putting this LCD in. I am currently developing hardware and software for the Lynx.

[@benwilliams4456]

The lynx was my First gaming console I owned as a kid I still have it in mint condition. Great video mate.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Awesome dude! That is a great first console. The Game Gear was my first. I wish I still owned my childhood one. Glad you enjoyed the video bud! Cheers!

[@bridaluk]

I am a huge Atari fan. My brothers and I had Atari Lynx growing up. We used the Lynx cable and played a lot of game multi player like Slime World and Warbirds. Unfortunately, My original Lynx stopped working years ago and I don't even know what become of it. Two years ago however I purchased a Lynx locally where I live. I ran into your video and knew that I wanted this screen upgrade. I ordered it from Benn Venn and got it all installed. What a huge difference it makes to screen quality and battery life. I will never go back. I also invested in an Atari Lynx Game Drive. Also another item if you are a Lynx fan it is a must have for the original game library. Great Video and thanks for the great install instructions I used them and it really helped me.

[@vincentt2309]

I had a Atari fan friend who was only buying Atari. He had the Jaguar also. Kinda original in the 90’s.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice! I also had a friend who had the Jaguar. Very interesting console indeed! Thank you for sharing Vincent! Cheers buddy!

[@gourami10]

Thanks for the clear and concise overview! I've had a Lynx v2 with several dozen games stashed away from when I was in middle school and I hadn't really touched it in a long time. This mod was surprisingly easy and really made it playable again. Before the upgrade, the screen was terribly washed out (I don't remember it being that bad) but the mod made it look great so I can go back and relive some of my childhood gaming.

[@AndersonPolaco]

I'm in love with these handhelds more than ever with your videos Tito, gotta collect then all! Thanks!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Awesome Anderson! I’m glad you are enjoying the videos! I love these handhelds also! Although the Game Boy is the undisputed King of handhelds, all the others are awesome in their own way! I’m glad they exist! Cheers buddy!

[@AndersonPolaco]

@@MachoNachoProductions I agree, I already have THE KING, although he no longer works, I never get rid of him. All the others are awesome indeed. Cheers!

[@1968ferret]

I have a Lynx and took it up to the top of the highest peak in the uk in late 1989. Just about to change all the caps in the system and have just received the Bennvenn screen, so that will be replaced too. Thank you for your video, I wouldn’t have known to remove that cap completely!

[@raykupal]

looks awesome!!! I've seen atari lynx in my bittboy.... didn't pay too much attention, never really thought it was this great looking specially with an LCD mod!!

[@ranchdressing1037]

I did this too with my 2nd gen with Ben's work. Though I was crazy lucky at the time to catch a 1 piece option instead of 10 at the time, my order came with a dead pixel. Ben responded and replaced it so fast, I seriously wish he was my BFF.. he is in my heart lol. Your 2nd gen Lynx NEEDS a Benn screen. I feel mine is priceless here in the near future.

[@chazb8948]

Glad your video came across my list and watch it, I have the Atari Lynx and do play it at times just for the enjoyment. The online games are starting to get to me and online games are starting to go done in gaming, since PC games are coming back. I pulled my Atari concoles out and enjoying playing them. Boy I miss it! Thanks for the video, I need to order it for my Lynx!

[@Not-Great-at-Gaming]

Yes I do have a Lynx (model II). I actually had the original model back when they were new. I bought it used, but it was only few months old.

[@blackishjustin]

I haven't played an Atari Lynx since I was a kid. A friend of mine had one and she got me really into it, as she'd let me play hers while she played my Game Gear. I have a friend who still has one of these boxed up somewhere, so I might see if they have an interest in letting me upgrade theirs for the fun of it. Another excellent video, Tito. I appreciate your hard work!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you dude! So happy you are enjoying the channel! That’s a great story, very similar to mine. I had a buddy that had a Lynx and I had a game gear and we would play each others consoles. I remember playing slime world and shadow of the beast. Great console and memories! Cheers buddy!

[@Tk4Plz]

I'm suprised you don't have more subscribers. Always a pleasure to watch your videos! :)

Thank you Thomas! Really means a lot! Thank you for the kind comment! Cheers!

[@雪鷹魚英語培訓的領航]

Nice thumbnail. Your consistent graphic design theme makes them all stand out in the sidebar too.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you 🙏!

[@ronald7378]

Ive never held one of these or even seen one in person and for some reason I thought it was A LOT smaller. Pretty surprised to see how big it actually is. As always great video man!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha, oh yeah it’s a big boy! The first Lynx is even bigger haha! Thank you Ronald for the comment! Cheers!

[@MikeStavola]

Atari found in their focus groups, that people perceived bigger as better. Turns out focus groups are terrible when it comes to product design. And yes, the exact same thing as what happened with Microsoft and the original XBOX controller. The original prototype was also kinda large, but I mean it was 1986, and it was on par with full consoles from a few years prior, so...

[@SockyNoob]

It feels nice in the hands ironically, unlike the Game Gear.

[@mandosmanta]

just got a couple of BENNVENN screens , this one and the newer, thank you for this video, it help me to apply the mod.

[@DanRamosDR]

I've got one of each! My original Atari Lynx that I bought as a teen way back when it first came out and the Atari Lynx 2 I got only recently. I adore this system!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

It’s definitely underrated! I’m glad that there’s support for it! Cheers!

[@maris4137]

Fantastic video. I don't have a Lynx but still watched the whole thing. I wish all mods are as easy as this. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you for watching the video Maris! I agree, it’d be great if all mods were this easy. Cheers!

[@ranchdressing1037]

Incredible song choice.. you are super cool peeps.

[@mattiasroos]

I still have my version 1 Atari Lynx. It was my first and only portable console. Still works :)

[@RailRide]

So, after running across Beh Heck's Game Gear screen mod video, I was inspired to look up any install vids for Lynx screen mods and ran across this one. The prospect of a drop-in upgrade was highly compelling, and the demonstration did not disappoint. This prompted me to pull my own Lynx II out of its (generic pluck-out-the foam-square-to-customise) carry case and good thing I did :D...the foam rubber had stiffened and deterioated to the point some of it was stuck to the face of the unit (!), but luckily it had not fused to the plastic, and some rubbing with Pledge cleaned it up. Now as for the specifics: My particular unit came direct from Atari, as I took advantage of a trade-in program where for the princely sum of $50 (plus $5 shipping) and a first-gen Lynx, one could upgrade to the newer version with better battery life, stereo sound, etc. I still have the original box with warranty cards, instructions, and the money order stub I paid for the trade-in with, showing I shipped it from NYC on 01-06-1994 (insured) and the reciept for the second-gen unit shipping back from Atari Comsumer Direct Sales on 01/17/1994. (with a UPS sticker showing it entering their system a day later) During and immediately after the Lynx's active support period I managed to accumulate a grand total of 41 game cards for it, the last ones I believe coming from Telegames USA's facility. I guess I'll need to bookmark Benn Venn's page (I'm not on FB) and hopefully manage to peek in around when the next batch of upgrades become available.

[@KiDjowac]

Just installed my kit in my Lynx after recapping. Excellent mod 👌😊

[@ToddDeSilva]

I have one and have been waiting for something like this!!! Amazing. Now just need a game gear version.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I know BennVenn has been working on a GG kit for a while. Hopefully it will be released soon!! Cheers Todd!

[@rasmus80g]

@@MachoNachoProductions yeah it's been more than a year since I first heard about his upcoming never to be released gg screen it seams like.... So impatiently waiting for that one :-)

[@MachoNachoProductions]

I know he’s working on a lot of projects currently, hopefully we’ll see something in 2021! Cheers!

[@stuartcole4845]

I had both a version 1 and a version 2 of the Lynx in my childhood. These things CHEWED through batteries because of that fluorescent tube. On another note, your Lynx 2 looks like it’s in really good condition. An interesting point for people who don’t know: these had four buttons but only 2 were usable at a time. This was so you could flip the unit upside down to play it left or right handed. It had some pretty good arcade ports like Hard Drivin’ which was an early polygon 3D game and ramparts, a tower defence game among others. It was a very impressive system graphically let down by its poor screen, abysmal battery life and relatively small library. It was also very large.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hey Stuart! That’s a great point I should have mentioned that in the video, the Lynx is ambidextrous. Agreed, these things are batteries like crazy, kinda like the game gear. I’ll have to check out those games, they sound pretty good! Thanks for the recommendations and the comment Stuart, cheers buddy!

[@tarstarkusz]

". It was a very impressive system graphically let down by its poor screen, " Compared to what? Maybe a top of the line 5000 Dollar laptop or the tiny turbo express (which was better, but also 300Dollars and maybe 1/2 the size), but compared to the gameboy and game gear, the Lynx's screen was not particularly bad. The game gear suffered in all the same ways. The Gameboy had horrible horrible motion blur and was spinach green as the old ads loved to point out and it was unplayable in the dark.

[@jdeluna777]

Lynx isn’t for me, but all of your videos are! Another great informative and entertaining (and relaxing!) production, keep up the great work!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Tomas! Really appreciate the kind words buddy! I agree, the Lynx isn’t for everyone. It has a very unique set of games. So glad you enjoyed the video though! Cheers dude!

[@LucaBlightOfHighland]

Wow, this is amazing. It looks so simple.

[@RyanDraga]

BennVenn does some fantastic work! As a Lynx owner myself, this is pretty exciting. The Lynx has historically been one of the more difficult handhelds to modify until now. However, It should be noted that this kit will only work for the Atari Lynx II, due to the difference in the layout and design of the internal components on the Lynx II. For that matter, only certain models of the Lynx II are covered by this mod. From BennVenn's site: "NOT fully compatible with version C104129-001 Motherboards. These are not common and were an early lynx2 design which used lynx1 IC's. This means you'll need to use a Lynx1 LCD kit for these motherboards. The side effect of using a Lynx2 kit in these consoles is a jumpy splash screen. The game runs fine, just the splash/logo at startup is unstable." It does say that there are drop-in LCD kits coming soon for the original Lynx though. Which is the model I have.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you for providing this information!! I think this will be helpful for people interested in this mod! Cheers!

[@Beampit]

Great stuff as always! Keep up the good work!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you David! Will do buddy!!

[@lambrettadave7]

Hi Tito, thanks for making the video, I have ordered the kit for my old Atari lynx. I am sure that your video will help me install my kit once it arrives. Thanks

Your welcome buddy! I’m glad it was helpful! It’s a great kit, I think you’ll really enjoy it!

[@lambrettadave7]

Thanks, I am looking forward to getting it fitted in What revision was your kit?

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Hmm not sure. It might be the first revision. I know his newer one has better dimming.

[@lambrettadave7]

I will let you know how I got on with the kit

[@eleithias]

Great info man, ty so much. Going to get me one of those screens now

[@bstar777777]

I did the McWill mod on my Lynx 1 and it was a beast of a project. Unfortunately it was short lived because I had a catastrophic power supply failure that killed my Lynx 1 and possibly the McWill screen. I only had about month with the modded Lynx 1. I have one of these screens going through US customs right now, but I’m not sure if the bracket is included- I sure hope it is. If this mod ends up as easy and as high quality as it seems, I’m going to be looking to buy a second Lynx. These devices are incredible and I’d love nothing more than to do some com Lynx action with my son. Great video, keep up the good content!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Oh man sorry to hear that about your Lynx. I really like the Lynx 1, it’s a beast of a console! It’s definitely a pretty easy install, and the quality is fantastic! This would be a great project to do with your son! I am positive you will be very happy with the results! Thank you for the comment! Cheers buddy!

Ahhh fond memories of playing Blue Lightning on the Atari Lynx

Hi Tito, i'm a fan of your work and thanks for providing great videos consistently! I don't have atari lynx but i do really hope can get my hand on it someday. yours looks pristine 😁 I do hope neo geo pocket color will have lcd upgrade as well. I know there is one exists, but it reduced the size of the screen and i'm still waiting for the full size version of the same lcd upgrade. Cheers!

[@iocat]

Just got word that my screen shipped today from Aus -- ordered after seeing this video. I've been a Lynx Gamer since the Lynx 1 so I am very stoked; also like that it's reversable.

Loved the lynx.

[@ingo.h]

I got my first Lynx end of 1990. I bought multiple games. Later I got a second console but I only had one game twice of my 36 games so that was the only to play at the same time. Finally I sold everything to get myself a Nintendo 3DS. I had a game gear, too, but it wasn't as good as the Lynx.

I asked someone if they still had their old pong unit but they came back with a broken lynx 1 and 10 cib games, i bought a nice working lynx 2 and I'm really enjoying it. I'll definitely try to get this screen mod in mine

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice score! Have fun man! The screen is absolutely worth it!

[@Evercade_Effect]

The Lynx looks great on the Evercade as well. They have 2 game carts with licensed games. Owning the real one looks awesome!

I have a Lynx. I did a repair video on it a few years ago, which was fun.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice dude!

[@Th3OmegaPoint]

Still own the Lynx II I bought in Oct 1992 (I know the date because the receipt is still in the box!). I had the original one too, which I bought when it was released. It looks terrible by modern standards but by 1990 standards it was really amazing. I've since bought another Lynx 1 and replaced the screen with a Mcwill, but I will leave my Lynx II unmodded so I can play it as it was. This kit looks super easy, the Mcwill was similar to the Game Gear installs. Very nice.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice dude! That’s awesome! I only knew one person when I was younger that had a Lynx. Thought it was pretty cool. Cheers buddy!

[@Prime-1111X]

I have both versions on the Atari Lynx, the original Nintendo Game Boy, and the Sega Game Gear. I've recently purchased an Analogue Pocket due to their website saying it's going to have a cartridge adapter for the Turbo Grafx/Express games. I hope it comes out soon, because the Turbo Express is expensive.

[@mattnova18]

I have a Lynx and just ordered the latest revision of this lcd screen kit. The new revision also adds brightness control! :-) now I wait. My old screen is really getting hard to use. So figured I'd give the upgrade a try. I do also have a psp and an evercade too. Lynx is the most comfortable though.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Nice! It’s a great upgrade. Totally agree! It’s a very comfortable console to hold. Cheers dude!

[@hawkfeather6802]

Nice mod, never knew the original screen was so looked so bad ^^

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Haha I know! I remember when I was younger thinking how incredible the screen looks. Cheers r4dius!

[@mattnova18]

The screens looked a little better when new. But yeah a worn out lynx screen [like mine] can look really bad. The original lynx 1 was a HUGE jump in quality over the gameboy though. There were no crystal clear screens to compare to back then

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Totally agree MattNova18! Cheers!

[@Metaphor9696]

So I literally just got done using your tutorial to install mine. I got the new revision 6 with absolutely no soldering where the ribbon cable now uses the brightness wheel to change the brightness of the LCD like the single soldered wire used to. Stay awesome and thanks once again!

I have 3 of them. 1 I got for Christmas in like 1989 or 1990. 1 I bought when they were being closed out for 69.99 with 4 or 5 games around 1995 or 1996. They are both II models. I have another Lynx 1 model I bought for a Dollar at a flea market in the late 90s or early 2000s.

Awesome! Your mods are great and so varied. What screen/mod can I use for a DS Lite that's similar to the GBA IPS mod? All the screens I see for it are TFT and I know at least the top screen is pretty good but I have a DS Lite with a broken top screen and was hoping a shell swap and high quality screen was in order instead of just a "OEM" TFT screen lol. Any ideas? Thanks!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Thank you Manjushri! Glad you are enjoying the channel! Unfortunately at the moment, there is no IPS mod for the DS lite. Your best option is a replacement OEM TFT display. Not sure if there will be kits for DS since the quality is pretty good. I hope that answers your questions buddy! Best of luck! Cheers!

[@MakoyUnggoy]

I traded my Master System and a ton of games for the original Lynx and the game 'Toki'...Within an hour of getting it home I already regretted the trade as I was bored very quickly with the one game and couldn't afford any more...Long story short, my cousin bought it from me for a top price and I ended up buying a Mega Drive with 'Altered Beast' & 'Hellfire' (Japanese) games plus the 'Honeybee' adaptor so I could play Japanese import carts on it also, so it all worked out in the end!

[@MachoNachoProductions]

Oh man sorry to hear about the initial trade, but glad things worked out with the Mega Drive! Fantastic console, one of my favorites! And those are great games too! Cheers Makoy!

[@MikeStavola]

I'm just wondering if the resolution of the bennvenn kit matches that of the original screen, or if it's at least a multiple of the original.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

That’s a great question Mike! I am not sure if it is integer scaled. I have a feeling it is a stretched image. But again not 100% sure. I checked the BennVenn website and couldn’t find any information on it. Sorry bud.

[@teshx9x9x40]

All that wasted screen space NO!!!!. lol It's fine I know they can't get it custom cause of the cost. Also I'd luv to see maybe in your vids like these to include maybe some extended gameplay on the handheld maybe some key games in a longer montage nothing crazy but a min or two more to really show off the screen. Just a thought. keep up the good work man. : D

Never had a lynx but a game gear... Read about the lynx back then in a gaming magazine saying it had a better screen compared to the gg...

Hey Dom! Yeah slime world is a classic, I remember playing that on my friends Lynx when I was younger. Haven’t tried blue lightning yet, but it looks really awesome! Unfortunately this mod does not work for the Gen 1. However, bennvenn has a specific kit for the Gen 1, although it requires more soldering. Cheers buddy!

Thanks for the info. Only asked as that us the version all my memories are of. Great to see the lynx get some love tho. Great vid as always and looks like u have a nice pile of consoles. Slime world is the best game on the console and found out there is a mega drive version as well. Great vid as always!

Thanks Dom! Really appreciate it buddy! Slime world was so much fun. Need to look into the Genesis/mega drive version! Cheers!!

I'd love to buy this Mod for my Lynx as well- but as you said, availability... I've wanted to buy his gameboy display as well but it's also never available.

I know, it’s kind of a bummer. If you’re not already, I would follow him on Facebook. He makes announcements of when new inventory is available. I hope you’re able to get one dude! Fingers crossed! Cheers bud!

Y la comparación con una atari linx sin modificar??

[@Collinormous]

If it doubles battery life - is it possible it's actually an OLED instead of TFT?

[@Madblaster6]

If Benn did it, there are going to be a lot more to follow.

[@MachoNachoProductions]

It’s always great to have options. I hope no one copies his work though. I know he puts a lot of time and effort into engineering these awesome kits. Cheers Madblaster6!
