These are interactive maps i.e. placement locations, for electrolytic capacitors on both the Lynx 1 and Lynx 2 models. See this page if you need to know how to read capacitor values - How to Read a Capacitor.
K-Retro sell the complete Lynx I and Lynx II capacitor replacement kits, as well as MOSFET and zener power circuit replacements, physical, laminated copies of these capacitor and components maps. Check them out here - Shop - Capacitor Replacement Kits
Note: Some motherboard variants have slightly different placement for capacitors. They should be near enough to be located using these maps above however.


These are the picking lists for replacement capacitors for both Lynx I and Lynx II.
| Count | Capacitance | Voltage |
|---|---|---|
| 4x | 10uF | 6.3V |
| 3x | 47uF | 6.3V |
| 1x | 220uF | 6.3V |
| 1x | 470uF | 10V |
| 2x | 10uF | 35V |
| 1x | 100uF | 35V |
| 2x | 1uF | 50V |
| 2x | 2.2uF | 50v (some Lynx I models have a 63V part but a 50V is more than enough) |
| Count | Capacitance | Voltage |
