I tried to put 6 batteries in my Lynx to play while my power went out. Nothing. But when the power came back on, I plugged the Lynx in and it turned on and worked fine. So what's going on?

Did you check if it is facing the [-__+} both top and bottom holders, if it is a Lynx 1.

It's a Lynx 2. By the way, it did turn on, but all I got was a black screen. No "INSERT GAME" message, no nothing.

Mine did that once. I just popped the batteries out and put them back in and it worked fine. Is your Lynx working fine with batteries now?

I tried different batteries and it didn't help any.
