Repairing screen flop on the GPD MicroPC, tightening the lower hinge screws
A really really annoying problem with some units is the hinge mounting screws will loosen and the hinge will start flopping.
First off if your hinge flops check the screws in the top portion first underneath the LCD, if you have this issue and are fortunate it'll be the top hinge section which is a breeze to access.
th-cam.com/video/zWRtJ4EIZ7M/w-d-xo.html
This video is meant to walk you through the steps it takes to get to the internal hinge screws which requires removing the motherboard to get to.
It is not terribly hard to get to if you have any knowledge of electronics but you may or may not run into a issue removing the battery depending on how strong your adhesive is.

Gaming on the GPD MicroPC: Enter the Gungeon with joycon attachment.
มุมมอง 3.8K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Find Deen0x's Joycon attachment here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3704180 Ignore my little flub where I said 13 FPS instead of 13W. Runs fairly well and the controller has no lag so controls are tight but the small screen can make it hard to keep track of everything going on when the screen is full of bullets. Was fun for burning some time while on my commute though.
Testing Xenoblade chronicles on the GPD MicroPC

Testing this so you don't have to. Link to Deen0x's Joycon attachment here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3704180 Xenoblade Chronicles natively runs at 30 FPS, at 10W the MicroPC can run it at a solid 30 most the time. But then you get to larger battles with multiple enemies, you get multiple teammates firing off flashy skills and the framerate starts dropping. Sometimes it'll run at 26 fps in roug...

Find Deenox's MicroPC accessories here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:3704180 I personally recommend using Xjoy for combining both joycon's into a single emulated xbox 360 controller but ymmv. Testing various games using the joycon mount as a successor to the Win1 which is much cheaper than the Win2 on the market currently. Resolution is 640x360 and TDP is 10W which gets you anywhere between 20-30 ...
Powkiddy X18, new update, 60hz screen fix and more to come
มุมมอง 9K5 ปีที่แล้ว
The biggest drawback of the X18 is the screen refresh and that has now been fixed via a over the air update. There are still some software fixes to be done like the D-pad issues and errant button combos but the manufacturer is aware of them and says they are working on it. I avoid button mashers for now due to the issues with errant button presses but other than that this can play most everythi...
Powkiddy X18 teardown
มุมมอง 4.5K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Despite the X18's current software related flaws the internals itself are pretty nice. It wouldn't be that hard to take apart if it weren't for the shoulder button ribbon cables which are very fragile and will tear like the XD and those two case posts that complicate removal of the motherboard. There has to be a better way to pop open the LCD lid than the way I did it. There is a gap between th...
Powkiddy X18, controls are broken
มุมมอง 3.5K5 ปีที่แล้ว
As if the joystick deadzones and 51hz screen refresh weren't bad enough the controller is completely broken and utterly useless for any game that requires button mashing. Powkiddy does not respond to emails so I will continue to do these videos pointing out flaws until they notice and fix these issues. It has potential but as it stands is completely broken.
Battle of the Palmtops: Benchmarking the Win 2 vs MicroPC at 10W
มุมมอง 2.4K5 ปีที่แล้ว
With the Intel HD 615 having 24 Execution units and a 850MHZ compared to 12 EU and a 700MHZ GPU clock in the UHD 600 the results ...... won't surprise you. It may perform better than expected compared to the Atom Z8750 but the N4100 is no 7Y30.

6W vs 10W benchmark of MicroPC
มุมมอง 4435 ปีที่แล้ว
Had to do some new tests since the Micro PC got bumped up to a 10W TDP. Tests include Cinebench R15 and Heaven benchmark Due to the length of these benchmarks all benchmark tests in the video have been sped up several hundred times to shorten otherwise the video would have been almost half an hour long. Skip to the end for the 10W tests. But in general at 10W expect roughly a 20-30% boost in pe...

    I doubt this will get a response, but I've read the plastic on the back of the display chassis has a chance to snap from alot of use. I notice there's a tensioner screw on the hinge itself where a spring is being pressed to create friction. I was trying to find ways to loosen mine to reduce friction on the hinge overall to reduce the chance of breakage. What way would you say to tackle this? I don't have any tiny pliers to twist with...

    EEEHHHHH. Mine has a battery thats started to puff up. Has anyone had any luck getting this particular battery? I guess they've changed a lot through the revisions of the different GPD devices. Ironically, the biggest tell is that it puffed up enough to cause the speaker contacts not to touch.
