December 23, 2009 at 19:43We make a monoblock "Acer" from the laptop
Impressed by the manufacture of a digital frame from a laptop , I decided to show how in a similar way it is possible to assemble monoblocks (a computer with a monitor in one case) that are now in fashion from broken laptops that are impractical to repair, and it is a pity to throw out.
1. We take a laptop (in this case - Acer TravelMate 212tx: Celeron 800 MHz processor, video - built-in Trident CyberBlade, 512 MB memory, 40 GB hard drive, DVD-ROM). Several times we carefully drop it on the floor, the last time we carefully step on top so that the cover breaks off, but the matrix remains alive (unfortunately, I do not have photos of this stage).
2. We buy / find a dead w / c monitor for beer, suitable in size. We take out the filling, leaving only the case with the stand.
3. Cooking a laptop.
a) remove the keyboard, for better cooling of the processor (the processor heatsink is also missing on the photo, but it must be left - I shot it purely for a photo shoot); solder the wiring-tails to the contacts of the power button and speakers: b) in the cover of the laptop we make a slot for the matrix cables, with the expectation that the cover will be rotated 180 degrees, like a transformer notebook (“tablet”): c) on the cover the matrices we glue the double-sided tape with a narrow strip along the edge and widely in those places that will be pressed against the laptop case (to the right and left of the touchpad); we pick out the “Acer” label - then paste it on the face so that the monoblock turns out to be branded:
4. We disassemble the monitor and glue the matrix cover on the inside of the external frame with double-sided tape around the perimeter, solder the wiring from the power button of the laptop and speakers to the monitor switch and speakers: 5. Glue the main body to the matrix cover: 6. To the monitor stand we cut out and bend the fasteners that will hold the laptop (it is quite heavy, I must say - about 3 kg); for this, you can use, for example, the details of old computer cases: The laptop power supply was glued to the same stand for convenience: 7. Gently screw the stand to the laptop with short screws (so as not to roll through it): 8. On the sides of the back cover of the monitor case make cuts for the flop, sidyuk, pcmcia:
9. Fasten the back cover with the long screws in place to the front frame of the monitor. Glue the remaining groove carefully with adhesive tape (make the brand and color as desired), without sticking the slots for the drives;) Do not forget to stick the “Acer” label torn off in step 3. to the front frame. And now - a handsome man is ready! The keyboard, mouse, and other external devices are connected via USB - the laptop has two ports, to one of which I connected a USB hub. UPD: I recommend to pay attention in the comments to the photo of the laptop in the interior: habrahabr.ru/blogs/DIY/79118/#comment_2313772
