    Ok I dusted off my old Atari Lynx only to remember that the speaker on it isn't working, also i've noticed the ghosting on the screen is getting worse. I've looked up about this on the net and the same thing happens the Gamegear when the capacitors are about to die.

    Does anyone know where i'd get a replacement set of Capacitors for this? I'm fairly handy at soldering so that shouldn't be a problem.

    I'll rep+ all help provided

    They're probably just standard capacitors, probably in the order of micro-Farad capacitance, just find out their size and capacitance.

    I'll give a google and try and find out that info.

    Loads of places stock them such as Radionics, Farnell, Digi-Key.

    Altough they only might sell large quantities. Best place to get a few? A college electronics lab!

    In a rush at the mo but they're 470uF, 6.3V, not sure what they physical ofthem are, probably small surface mounts without opening one up.

    Schematics are here:

    Anyway, girlfriend is nagging, must go! :D
