-
- Last month we told you about the 24MHz Lynx. I didn't have enough time to
- translate the manual for it. As it was written in German, and neither
- English or German being my native language, it took some time. But here it
- is.
-
- (KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS DESCRIPTION IS FOR THE LYNX I ONLY ! WE HAVEN'T
- TESTED IT ON THE LYNX II YET (HAVEN'T OPENED IT UP YET).
- NEITHER PORTABLE ADDICTION OR THE INTERNATIONAL LYNX CLUB IS AT FAULT IF
- WHEN YOU BRAKE SOMETHING WHILE DOING THIS)
-
- 1) Take cartridge and batteries out of your Lynx.
- 2) Take out the 4 skrews on the underside of your Lynx.
- 3) Lay down your Lynx with the screen down and remove the back of your
- Lynx.
- 4) You will now see the cartridge holder. Underneath it you will see a
- metal plate. It covers the RAM's, Mickey, Suzy and the quartz.
- The metal plate is soldered. Use soldering iron to remove it. While
- doing this you will automatically remove the metal protection on the
- other side of your Lynx.
- 5) Turn your Lynx around and take off the top half (NOW, DON'T TOUCH THE
- SCREEN !!!).
- 6) The 16MHz quartz is directly under the cartridge holder. Take it out.
- 7) Now take the 16MHz and 24MHz crystal and connect them in this way:
-
- Connection with mass
- . Quartz 1 ....:----------------> } Connect these with the
- . |----| |.|...| Switch } points where you took
- . | | | | } the 16MHz quartz off.
- ....|----| | | }

- . | :------------: | }
- . :-------------------;---------------> }
- . | :----------------
- . | |
- ....|----|

- Quartz 2
-
- 8) You need to make a mass, else the quartz will be disturbed by the rest
- of the Lynx electronics.
- 9) You can now fit the quartzes with double sided tape somewhere in your
- Lynx. We suggest you stick them on the back of the battery compartment.
- 10) To use the switch, you have to punch a little hole in your Lynx.
- Why to use a switch was explained by Stephen Landrum in Portable
- Addiction # 09.
