Mech mod idea...

[mrmattlaw]

I'm surprised with how it works on mine. I'm using a 17" VAIO laptop I bought about 6 or 7 years ago, was only about £450 when I bought it new as well. It's 64 bit, has an AMD processes and some memory (?) but works a treat.

I've even modelled my whole house on it and the assembly runs a treat. Guess I got lucky with that one.

Oh and Raguri, yea you need a new one!

I've not read the rest of the thread,only Raguri's 1st post saying about building a mod.


I had a think(weirdly,no burning smell)and decided "why not just a simple copper tube,with 510 one end & switch on other" made from easily sourced plumbing parts?

I'm considering doing that. Not so easy to make a decent button though.

Problems with that idea:
getting a SOLID 510 connection in the top, without wiring etc, would be bloody hard and would still require machining.
The switch, will be a pain in the ass to do, and again, if you want a true mech, will need no wiring

Think that is easily sorted.

Take apart a 510 connector,remove original positive pin,replace with small length of (3mm?)copper rod?

Switch,take apart most bottom firers & copy their system,only using a pipe-fitting such as the large knurled devices used to join pipes of differing diameters together? Instead of a cap made from ss/aluminium/brass,spend a time filing/turning a lump of copper into a plate with a column up from the centre to act as the "sliding" piece of the switch...no wiring,copper good conductor so no voltage drops...equals "one very efficient bottom firing,hard as nails hitting mod"


I can see it in my head,just trying to describe it in text isn't working as I still haven't managed to visit a plumbing vendors.
