Dear all,

It is nice to be part of your forum now!

I have a broken lynx II. MOSFET Q7 was fried (see the picture attached).

My question: Is Q7 an M6 as Q8 is or is it an L6 as the rest of the board has?

Does noone in this forum own a Lynx II?

[Atari_afternoon]

Yes but, sorry, other than taking it apart for dusting off the lense, it appears (thankfully!) few people have had the need for electronic repairs.
Doesn´t AtariAge have the circuit boards for the Lynxes posted at its Lynx section? Not in the forum but on the AA website that lists all Lynx stuff?

I have had a look in that section, but it seems, there is no picture of the main board. If someone had a broken Lynx II with a non-fried Q7 and could have a look, that would be very helpful.

If the schematics from the first lynx and the lynx II are similar, Q7 is a standard NPN transistor 2N3904.

Hope this helps.

After looking at your picture, I would say that Q8 is damaged, which is also a standard NPN transistor 2N3904 according to the schematics for the Lynx I.

Hope this helps.
