My Lynx was suffering from graphical glitches, but after swapping in these two NEC chips the screen is crisp and stable again. The PLCC-18 package made installation straightforward with a simple desoldering tool.

James ★★★★★ Oct 20, 2026

These NEC 18-PLCC chips dropped right into the sockets with zero soldering fuss, and my Lynx booted to a clean, stable picture on the first try. The set of two is a smart buy since you often need both for a full RAM swap.

The chips dropped right into my dead Lynx board without any soldering modifications needed. My games load noticeably faster now compared to a stock unit I have. Solid fix for anyone who still plays with these old handhelds.
