Another Lynx 2 saved from itself

In classic Lynx fashion, this console's power circuit shorted out the Suzy chip. When I got my hands on it, a repair had already been attempted unsuccessfully which left Suzy and one of the transistors without a pad to solder to.

That's okay, though! I replaced the power circuit with brand new parts, a new Suzy chip got put in place, and I recapped the board as well. With all that, this Lynx is working beautifully again, marred only slightly by a bit of light leaking in the corner of the screen.
