    There is one example on the first post. I decased a Seiki brand 1080, but you have to relocate the pcbs and what not so not an easy solution. 

     





    Oh, thanks! Didn’t realize the OP had been updated. Will take a look. Is there any guide on how to do it? Also not sure exactly what I need from the original TV but I tossed the screen. Still have the aluminum that was behind it.

    From what I have gathered, if you want a non-destructive method, people use a cheap wall mount bracket to mount the TV to the original mounting bracket. The hardest part is getting everything aligned so the screen is centered. 

    Also saw other people drilled holes in the original mounting bracket so they could use the TV's mounting setup without the need for the cheap bracket. 

    I ended up using a cheap mount from Walmart, but I did not want to damage the bracket since I have 2 lynx monitors with broken screens and am on the hunt for a replacement panel that doesn't cost $300+ dollars. 

     
  • So, the TV listed in the first post will be able to fit in without any modification to the kiosk or mount?

    That is the word on the street. People are saying you can mount it directly into the original bracket since skinny enough to fit in there horizontally. I have noticed older LCD and LED TVs have much wider bezels either due to speakers being there or just for design, which cause issues with fitting in the original bracket. Honestly I think you could fit any 32-inch TV that has barely any bezel on the sides.

    Good to know. There is a local one that has everything, just the TV is missing, so was thinking of picking it up. Thanks for the info!

    I think I know which one you are talking about... I was trying to buy one near you that had everything, but the monitor. I wanted it just for the wiimote, nunchuck, gamepad since it's all I need for mine. Guy wouldn't ship it though.
  • I'll have to make sure I have the right pieces still since my screen was busted I took it out and threw it away. Think I have everything else though. Wish there was a video, or walkthrough showing the steps just to make it easier
  • Noob question here: What does the keyhole under the tablet do? I am looking to disassemble my kiosk a little bit for moving (removing console, controllers etc.). I turn the key to the unlock position, but can't get anything to budge. Thanks.

    Its what keeps the gamepad wire locked into place.

    Ah, thanks. That's what I thought, but I didn't want to be too aggressive on the wire and it didn't want to move very much when I tried originally.
  • Edit: got it out. You really gotta pull on that thing  
  • I started putting mine back together but will need to find a couple replacement parts. I need a fan, subwoofer, some of the wires that connect to the Lynx box, and of course the TV. I plan on getting the TV in the OP but if anyone else has a suggestion on the wire connectors, subwoofer, or fan please let me know.



    I'm also still not sure I understand what needs connected to the TV but I checked and I do have the metal casing for the TV and even the screen (minus glass). Is there any steps/instructions on how to connect it? I get needing to drill holes to mount the TV but not sure what exactly needs connected to the TV itself.

    You use the mounting holes on the back of the TV posted in the OP. You can drill holes in the original bracket so the TV will line up with the bezel once mounted. I didnt want to damage the original bracket though, so I bought the cheapo TV wall mounting kit from Walmart and used it mount the TV to the original monitor mounting bracket. You only use the part that is bolted to the TV (not the part that mounts to the wall). It is pretty straightforward when you start working on it. 

     
  • I have two of the lynx monitors from the Wii U kiosks. If anyone is interested, Both of them work and have the mounts.
  • Hello guys,

    I recently was able to slowly but sure piece my kiosk together to get it complete minus the demos system stuff... question though, what wires connect the subwoofer to the speakers/tv and where might I be able to source them? Also is it just a standard 3 prong power cord to the monitor?

    Thanks!

    The power cord is the standard power cable like these. The subwoofer is just a 2 conductor cable with a cheap connector (sorta see it here). You could easily use any wiring. Maybe someone with the oem Lynx monitor can post some pictures so you can see exactly how everything connects. And congrats on the kiosk grab!

    Awesome! Thanks for providing this. Got it added to the OP. Been meaning to do a deep dive research to pull more information to update this thread. Do you know what the suffux at the end of the product code means (-PT, -LTN, -FL? How about the meaning of RTL? 



    You don't happen to have a full list of the demo games that can be installed on the kiosk/demo console, do ya? I would like to eventually have a list of the contents of each of the demo discs so people can track down specific discs to install those specific demos. 



     
  • per the wise and noble ryanrocks:

    "FL (Full Content Update) so in such mainly

    PT/PL = Partial Update (with non System titles) [maintl firmware stuff]"



    Furthermore, I believe "LTN" might be latin america as I have heard of unique Wii U kiosk discs surfacing in Chile and those are them. "RTL" makes me think "Retail" but I"m unsure what that actually means in the context of them being Kiosk discs.

    Congrats on the pickup and also, welcome to the forums!
  • Thanks man I appreciate it! Im glad to be here!
  • Hello, just picked up a Kiosk! Love it! Having some issues though. Can I change Bass settings thru the remote? The sound cuts off when ever a bass note is played. I'd like to try that. I just ordered the ir emitter. But my phone doesn't have the capabilities. What brand code will work this monitor with a universal remote? Also, my sound is reversed. Left is right, and right is left. Can't swap it back. Very strange.

    Thanks for any help here.

    Congrats!! Welcome to the rabbit hole!



    Does the kiosk have the original monitor? which remote are you referring (gamepad, wii remote, monitor buttons extender panel? 



    Also, would you mind posting the information so I can update the list? Lastly, if you would like the kiosk icon, you will need to post a pic of the kiosk with your username in the picture.

  • Can you make sure my model # is right? And my back sign? I just don't want to post incorrectly.
  • Yes it does have the original Lynx monitor. Luckily.
    And I am referring to a remote control to adjust monitor settings. Maybe I can use the Game pad to access it when the ir emmiter arrives?
    Any suggestions?
    My phone doesn't have remote capabilities.
  • While taking my kiosk picture above, the sound was cutting out even at low volume. Now I'm not even sure it's Bass settings. I did try changing resolution settings, tried switching to mono with no change. Could it be an HDMI port issue? The sound is normal thru game pad.

    These TVs are known to have audio issues. Mine has no audio for example. It has to do with the internals of the monitor, not the speakers. As of right now, I have no clue what causes it, but a long time ago I found an article on facebook that went over a audio fix. Something about capacitors, unfortunately I have been unable to find that article. I plan on eventually figuring out a cap kit for this.
