hi
i been using my microlynx without issue for a couple of years
but this morning when i powered it up i got a whole world of trouble!
the memory backup lithium battery had leaked so i replaced it and cleaned up any traces of possible damage from the battery acid.
it still isnt happy and the keyboard data light flashes perminately on the rack, and i have no keyboard valid light either
the power light is amber instead of green?
the keyboard unit itself seems fine, does it's self test ok.

does anyone here have any experience with the microlynx?
does anyone have the all important schematics for it?

any help would be much appreciated as this breaking down puts me in a right hole as my mtr 90 doesnt have an autolocator,
so unless i go into the machine cupboard i cant see where i am on the tape, nightmare!

thankyou
 
hi
thanks for that,
i tried the offshoot of them a really nice guy called Bill
http://www.timelinevista.net/
who handles all the repairs/reconditioning.

i ended up just buying another microlynx as the other one was uneconomical to repair, especially as im in the uk.
thanks again to Bill for helping me figure this stuff out,
so now if anyone needs a spare agc card i now have one along with the main rack to salvage spares from.

thanks again
