Last month we told you about the 24MHz Lynx. I didn't have enough time to
translate the manual for it. As it was written in German, and neither
English or German being my native language, it took some time. But here it
is.
(KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS DESCRIPTION IS FOR THE LYNX I ONLY ! WE HAVEN'T
TESTED IT ON THE LYNX II YET (HAVEN'T OPENED IT UP YET).
NEITHER PORTABLE ADDICTION OR THE INTERNATIONAL LYNX CLUB IS AT FAULT IF
WHEN YOU BRAKE SOMETHING WHILE DOING THIS)
1) Take cartridge and batteries out of your Lynx.
2) Take out the 4 skrews on the underside of your Lynx.
3) Lay down your Lynx with the screen down and remove the back of your
Lynx.
4) You will now see the cartridge holder. Underneath it you will see a
metal plate. It covers the RAM's, Mickey, Suzy and the quartz.
The metal plate is soldered. Use soldering iron to remove it. While
doing this you will automatically remove the metal protection on the
other side of your Lynx.
5) Turn your Lynx around and take off the top half (NOW, DON'T TOUCH THE
SCREEN !!!).
6) The 16MHz quartz is directly under the cartridge holder. Take it out.
7) Now take the 16MHz and 24MHz crystal and connect them in this way:

8) You need to make a mass, else the quartz will be disturbed by the rest
of the Lynx electronics.
9) You can now fit the quartzes with double sided tape somewhere in your
Lynx. We suggest you stick them on the back of the battery compartment.
10) To use the switch, you have to punch a little hole in your Lynx.
Why to use a switch was explained by Stephen Landrum in Portable
Addiction # 09.
