I am a serious DIYer who can never stop my hands and always likes to make something by myself. Making a tablet has always been my dream, and I believe it is also the dream of many DIYers. In the past, when the Internet was not developed, many parts could not be purchased, and there were many production techniques that no one taught us. But now that the Internet is so developed, just because we couldn’t do it before doesn’t mean we can’t do it now. With conditions now abundant, of course we have to realize our dreams. Below, the editor will share with you some tips on making a homemade tablet computer.
Preparation process:
First we look for and prepare a tablet motherboard of suitable size. Does the poster’s motherboard look like this? Very small? After all, this is the first time to undertake such a big project, and I am afraid that if I buy something too big, the final product will not meet my requirements. Since it is a computer, of course it must have a memory stick. The author directly dug out the long-obsolete laptop from the warehouse and took out a 2Gd3 small memory stick without saying anything. It really suits the landlord's requirements. Of course, the hard drive is not as big as the laptop. Although it is only 200G, it is enough for the original poster’s needs.
Parts selection:
Many people suggested that the poster buy a solid-state drive, but after reading the price online, I decided against it. As for the touch screen, I bought it from Taobao, and I bought it second-hand for just over 100 yuan. Here I want to talk specifically about touch screens: A few years ago, my poster had plans to make a tablet computer, but online shopping was not developed enough and he could not buy second-hand capacitive screens. Although it is available to buy now, due to the tight budget and the fact that the capacitive screen I had prepared before was broken by myself, the author's touch screen now uses a 12.1 ultra-thin resistive flexible screen. The most important thing is the battery. The author directly used a 5800 mAh lithium battery.Batteries, of course, are also bought from shopping malls. It must be said that online shopping is very developed.
Assembly process and precautions:
In fact, there is no need to go into detail about the assembly process. Just follow the interfaces on the motherboard and connect them accordingly. Just install it. What I want to remind everyone here is: after assembling the hardware, be sure to use hot melt glue to fix the main hardware, such as the battery and motherboard, before installing the case. Never try to save trouble temporarily, lest parts become loose and affect use.
After reading the dry information above, I believe many people are eager to try it. In fact, for us, most people like DIY just to experience the whole self-made process. We can directly purchase all the parts of a finished product online and complete the entire assembly process by ourselves. This not only satisfies our desires, but also ensures the quality control of our final products and avoids compatibility issues. It is also very easy for us to replace parts if they break.
