Ok this mod is not for beginners the idea of this mod has been used to repair other handhelds of the 80's / 90's era have not attempted this on a lynx yet but even if you are thinking about replacements for the screen this won't stop you from purchasing a replacement screen this might even buy you some time and save you some money if the scratches are minor.


I came across this mod in my travels when i was visiting a anime convention i noticed a classic gamer with a game gear with a very shiny screen i was curious about how he got a game gear in such mint condition his response was interesting mint he said mines not mint I'm the original owner i just resurfaced the screen resurfaced i ask what type of mod is that a simple one he replied he states that if you don't want to replace the screen on a game gear you can give the screen a shine job using automotive clear coat and wax i was very interested with this idea the explanation was pretty cool you tape off around the screen with some painters tape i asked why painters tape his respond because when you go to peal up the tape it will leave a nice edge on the screen i thought cool he say's then you need to take your time and only do this mod if the scratches are minor major scratches it doesn't work on i thought ok because at the time i was looking to redo my turbo grafx portable and found this to be interesting once the clear coat dry's you just peal off the tape and give it a light wax enough to polish it up then he stated after that if you want you can take a psp screen protector the stick on kind and mod it to the screen with a pair of scissors so i tried this mod on a old game gear shot to %^&^% game gear the screen was dying so it was no real loss to me if i messed up on this mod but low and behold it worked later on i replaced the internals on the game gear and gave it to a friend for christmas because he wanted one so badly.

Now because the lynx has a similar screen it might work i have no idea if it would or not and even if it messes up you would still have to replace the screen cover anyways so no real loss if you where planing on a screen cover replacement anyways.

it's something that might be worth trying????
