Full refurb on a BROKEN Atari Lynx. Can we fix it?

👕 Support the channel by buying one of my T-shirts, designed by me and made by American Apparel right here in the USA (ships worldwide) http://www.BorderlineOCD.com In today’s video I take a look at the first console from a batch of systems that I purchased during a recent trip to the UK. We have an Atari Lynx II (i.e. second generation) that was sold as faulty. The unit does not power on, and an inspection reveals signs of previous repairs. The console gets a slew of new parts in an effort to bring it back to life. 🛒 Specialty products specific to this project Circuit Board Holder: https://amzn.to/3k35Pzm Desoldering Vacuum Pump: https://amzn.to/3Qe9ipl Contact Cleaner: https://amzn.to/3dI93ly My philosophy on buying tools is to start small and to "outgrow" your gear over time. Expensive gear won't improve your repair and fault finding skills, only practice will do that.
