I tested out my $5 Lynx today with a game, and it powers up, but the graphics are all garbled and glitched. I tried cleaning it, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Sounds like it just needs more cleaning. Do you hear the sound ok? If you can find a cleaning kit that would be nice. Maybe try inserting a folded up card or something with a cloth over it dipped in alcohol or something to scrub the cart slot?

Nice, $5 for a Lynx is awesome. Is it a Model 1 or 2? I need to get me another Lynx, it's been a few decades now.

Model 2. I'll try that. The sound is fine. I have a universal power supply, so I won't have to waste batteries.
