@@HamzaQayyumgreat video! I'm building mine as we speak. Help me out though. For my board it says I'll need a 12V/3A power supply. I even looked yours up and yours looks to be 12V/4A. Is the board onscreen really drawing that much current? Would you be able to measure your current drawn and let me know because it seems challenging to set up a portable power supply using boost converters and PD boards that delivers that nuch amperage. It seems these things run off as little as1A just as easily.
I know Im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Randy Maverick I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
If it's bought through ebay, you can choose to report that it did not come within the time limit, and get a full refund from ebay. That is, if the seller stated an arrival date less than the 4 months :)
Props for not only linking the source video but also giving full credit and demonetizing voluntarily. If all UA-camrs were this classy this would be the greatest community on the internet.
Approved. I loved how you credited the source and the fact that you didn't monetize this just shows that you generally want to make videos for people to enjoy
Dude you did an amazing job there. All creative youtubers show their selves like they don't make silly mistakes, I'm sure they do but they cut those parts. Every time when I try to make something my mistakes become idiotic then I try to fix it with some other things (usually by using my hands) and I blame myself for not having all the tools that I need, but when I was watching you I realized that those mistakes are the ones that push us to go forward. We don't need that much tools. I appraciate your honesty, video quality is just perfect, your language is awesome and it's really easy to understand even for a non-native speaker. I salute you my friend. CONGRATS!! YOU HAVE JUST EARNED A SUBSCRİBER...
I'm an Electrical Engineering student in my senior year. Job well done on the converter and especially knowing that you needed to change the output to 12V. You would have been scratching your head for a while when it wouldn't have turned on. A point that a lot missed. Excellent work with making the batteries work as well!
Design is all preference. You might consider a different battery, as the LiOn will degenerate over time. Something that will last. Or you could always add more in parallel or swap when they do regenerate. So make a design so they are swappable. Maybe make a batter caddy inside to easily replace them. I don't know how it is specifically for that board, but I would also make some cutouts in the back so it doesn't get too hot. The batteries will head and might make enough heat to create a short if you're in a cold environment. Just something to consider.
I never thought of doing a dual monitor set up with one above. Looks great for previewing projects you're working on or background media while working.
Currently I'm using a side by side dual monitor set up, with one in front and one to the side. I mainly use the one on the side for background media and monitoring download/upload progress while doing other tasks.
Just a little tip for the future. When nailing finishing nails it helps to pre-drill holes first with a drill. you can use a small drill bit the diameter of the nails or use one of the nails itself in the drill as the drill bit. Won't split the wood if you do that.
The drywall plugs you used are brilliant. I have used them in the past to hang massive cabinets with LOTS of crap in them. Never a problem,AND they are reusable if you are careful
if you have access to a wood shop try using a router. you will be amazed the speed and quailty of the cut. also if you only have access of a dremel there is a bit that looks like a little circular saw blade that would help you with cutting through thin woods quickly. also works well on ABS plastics and some thicker plexi and acrylic really limits the melting and burning
that was precisely what i did before i even start to "recycle" my laptop display which cost me less than 1/3 of the whole recycle thingy. save money + save time + save the trouble + save a finger
Justme Asifyoudidntalreadyknow Damn you are so jealous and triggered cuz this kid instead of wasting his time doing stupid stuff he is teaching him self how to work The schematic all the cutting and painting this is a great project for him
If you left the batteries from the laptop in the original configuration, they already had a 12V output. Then, you just had to buy a 3-cell balanced charger for them, and use a small buck-boost converter to drop the 12V input down to whatever your charger wants (probably 5V) to charge the batteries. This would probably give you a much longer battery life. Also, if you pre-drilled the MDF, you could have used small screws without having it split as bad. I'm considering doing a similar project, but with a Raspberry Pi emulator built in as well, for a semi-portable game system.
Just an idea: You could take a machine screw, add a nutthat would go up against the inside of the MDF while the head of the screw rests up against your power button and the rest of the screw slightly sticks out of your frame if you're looking for a quick/cheap/easy emergency power button
i appreciate you not monetizing this video, when another (not exactly similar) video inspired you..Although i wouldnt have cared ;) Nice quality video too, and good narration
Magnus Frederiksen nopes it means he could display ads on his videos, any video when published with Monetize option on , you will see youtube ads on those videos and the publisher earn money and considering the effort he had put in this video and everything he did was his original he should have monetized this. His logic of not monetizing this video because someone else has done a similar project is completely wrong - by that logic if I review the next iPhone model no one else who reviews the phone after me can monetize it or when I create a video of a PC build I cannot monetize it because there are million other PC build videos , its a very stupid logic , I wish good for him and hope he doesnt be so naive in the future.
Dude you're inspiration! After all of the mistakes you made you continued to keep moving forward with your DIY project. Not many people would've kept going and trying to complete their project. Great job on your successful completion of your project.
Great project. One suggestion - if you pre-drill a hole slightly smaller than the width of your nail/screw they are less likely to split your Mdf or wood.
Here are some suggestion for other people that watch this video. For the power switch you could have created a countersunk hole where the switch would be accesable with a finger. You can also consider mounting the 2nd screen on the side of the first monitor. You maybe able to use the original mounting hardware from the laptop. Also if you are using wood as a frame you should put some small blocks in each of the corners to add strength to the frame.
This is such a good video! Even all the mistakes you made, which are all just for the learning process, made me relate to this video so much. Normally you would see a dude doing something like this in the first try with a great set of tools, but how you were doing it however is just how many people would actually go trough it. Great video, I liked for sure!
Very nice projcet. If I could help for the future... You must try to use wooden rectangle cube (sorry for my english). When you hit nails in MDF (this go break, becouse nail go with the production jar). Pretty easy and very fast is making wooden rectangle cube 0,5x0,5x0,5inch or similar diamension its depend how big nails are you have. Put this cube in corner of mdf and hit the nails. You must use vision where the nail is hited (if you have too long nails). In DIY market you could buy handle for drill. In 90th (and ealier) years in Poland it was very popular beacouse in drill you could screw necessary end and making lathe (if you use horse), grinder etc. You could use cut end and somethink to making striaght line. very important is angle between handle and some think which you use to making straight line (90 degree easy to making). Another easier way to make shaped cutout is making a lot of small hole (max 3-4mm diamension of hole) and use chisel. My dad told me evry time when I work with knife in wooden (Out/From myself :) ) Mainly very nice project hand up. Best regards
Pre-drill all holes in MDF, nomatter if it's screws or nails :) I use to make reptile cages in MDF, and they are so fragile when you try to push a nail through.
Excellent video bro. I have one suggestion. Since you have access to your school's shop, just use the lathe to make a small wooden dowel that can fit through the hole for the power button. You can glue it to the actual button, no pencil needed.
Cool tutorial. 2 suggestions. Instead of having the power switch and the push button, set up a 555 timer delay and a transistor. quick google search for "555 timer button delay" will give you a good circuit for the timer, then instead of a push button put a transistor in line activated by the 555 timer. second, be careful soldering those lipo's. they can explode under heat. You would normally use a battery welder and nickle strip to attach those. Be better to buy/build a socket for them.
Yeah I ordered battery holders later on; didn't have them at the time. Ideally, you'd want to stay away from soldering directly, as that isn't good for the batteries.
Hamza Qayyum then the battery should be only conected with the charging module , and not directly connected to the bost converter... Do you even know how it will disconnect the battery power if the voltage drops too low??
Word to the wise: the dc to dc converter he uses utilizes the XL6009 chip (which he says). I attempted to use a MT3608 chip based board and I seemed to be having some kind of amperage issue with my screen on. It was enough to turn on the LED, make the screen flash white, and then shut off and need me to disconnect the power in order to try again
try to use a metal screw or a threaded ros to extend the push button. another feature should be a diode between the boost converter and and 12v input, that way you avoid reverse polarity, i don't know if that may harm the boost converter and eventually even your batteries
Ok this was cool. Listening to you describe all the switches, breaking things, cutting, and all the rest, then remembering that you had to wait 4mths for the thing to arrive, left me laughing my ass of. Thanks and good luck
When I am dealing with wood that I am afraid might split if just nailed in, I get a drill bit slightly under the size of the nail and drill pilot holes first. You also could have chosen to use small gauge screws as an alternative to nails. I would pilot hole them too.
I fully enjoyed watching the process you went through to create that 2nd monitor. I would have handled the carpentry, and left the electronics to you. You need to get a coping saw. (consider a smile emoji attached to this)
although i did see a 22in 1080p monitor at the goodwill for $20, i may try this out just for the fun of it (and still get the monitor from goodwill). it looks like you had a great time doing this project, i can hear it in your v/o. thanks for sharing this with us.
It's pretty cool that this was done by a teen. At least he wasn't wasting his life taking drugs, drinking and screwing around, but actually being productive.
Mr. GeforcerFX some ded battery pack still had working cells inside

You could also get a regular desktop monitor powered externally by a power brick for cheap and used that instead(and it would already have the driver board and inverter too) so you would only need to get charger module, power module and batteries. Even if the existing controller doesn't have an hdmi input, an adapter from hdmi to dvi or vga would only be $5 or less.
Just because it is hand made doesn't mean it would sell for $150. It's an old 1024x768 display. You can get 1920x1080 displays for $15 these days. They aren't portable, but a whole lot better than this project.
Exactly the video I was looking for. You did an awesome job on this project, both on the creation and on the step by step explanation. This video is great not only for those who have no clue about how to do this, but also for the others, as you added a few points I didn't even think about (the vision angle of the screen for example).
StarTech has Mac compatible adapters as well. We the one you have must've been the best solution for you. Highly recommend against playing games on the display if it's connected via the USB adapter. They are not meant for it.
For the button that is not long enough - use a rod or even cut off a ikea pen or whatever and glue it to a tiny plate (e.g. cuttout of a pringles plastic lid, whatever you can find in your plastic garbage) and put that in the hole from behind. make sure the actual button switch sits close to it so there's no wobbling. depending on how thick your case is, just leave the rod longer. You have so many ideas and probably just didn't feel the need for having a better solution but boi, i just went all autism on that tiny detail.
You can not hook up lion batteries in parrallel as much as you want. You can only pack identical batteries in parallel otherwise you will end up with imbalanced voltages. For ex when you open a laptop battery those are coupled from production. So usually there is 2 or 4 of them are dead. Remaining ones can be used in parallel without balancing.
Amazing how many people in the comments pride themselves on never lifting a finger in their life, good thing we got folks like you Hamza to counter balance the lazy.
I love this !! I run into the same shit when I do projects. I love how you explain what happens. "i did this... Then i noticed it fucked up, trying to fix if fucked it up more. Then i painted it again" It feels like Im the one filming.... Great work. You do you boo boo.
I slight part of my thumb once with a box cutter, mainly because a mosquito stung me as I was cutting Plexiglas and my hand slipped against the ruler that the blade was guiding on. Needless to say Im fine now but I layed off it for a couple months. Now I work out of my newly built shop instead of the outdoors, where the bugs cant touch me lol.
You should have used a router for the screen cutout. Also, you can use standard wood glue for MDF, it's very reliable. Most people seriously underestimate the strength of wood glue.
This is the most realistic DIY video ever, learning in the process :) love it!

had you bought a laptop monitor it would have been :p

If you left the batteries from the laptop in the original configuration, they already had a 12V output. Then, you just had to buy a 3-cell balanced charger for them, and use a small buck-boost converter to drop the 12V input down to whatever your charger wants (probably 5V) to charge the batteries. This would probably give you a much longer battery life. Also, if you pre-drilled the MDF, you could have used small screws without having it split as bad.
I'm considering doing a similar project, but with a Raspberry Pi emulator built in as well, for a semi-portable game system.
You could have used screws without ruining the mdf by driving some driving holes slightly smaller than the size of the screws.
Nice project.
People often forget about fretsaws for precision work.
Can I just say.. I loved the video. Nicely done.

nah just cut away from your self
wow i am blown away with the quality you put into this video
how dare you kil that thinkpad!
I know right!
try to use a metal screw or a threaded ros to extend the push button.
another feature should be a diode between the boost converter and and 12v input, that way you avoid reverse polarity, i don't know if that may harm the boost converter and eventually even your batteries
hope your finger is better ^w^

Why did you used dead batteries? They are even new not so expensive.
Actually, 18650s are really cheap now. They're also used for e-cigarettes/vapes so they're wildly popular.
they are also used in cars. even used/dead ones can still have a good usable life in them
I think he was trying to say the laptop the cells came out of was dead, battery was working the laptop was dead.
Mr. GeforcerFX some ded battery pack still had working cells inside
You could also get a regular desktop monitor powered externally by a power brick for cheap and used that instead(and it would already have the driver board and inverter too) so you would only need to get charger module, power module and batteries. Even if the existing controller doesn't have an hdmi input, an adapter from hdmi to dvi or vga would only be $5 or less.
i think ill just stick to buying a monitor and not using box cutters
+spicy meme Perhaps a wise idea :P
that was 100% improper tool technique but he learned?
İts hand made he can sell for 150 dolar easy but not for kids.
Just because it is hand made doesn't mean it would sell for $150. It's an old 1024x768 display. You can get 1920x1080 displays for $15 these days. They aren't portable, but a whole lot better than this project.
@@utkudemirel3688 No extra charge for bloodstains.
Exactly the video I was looking for.
You did an awesome job on this project, both on the creation and on the step by step explanation.
This video is great not only for those who have no clue about how to do this, but also for the others, as you added a few points I didn't even think about (the vision angle of the screen for example).
+Oridons Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
My name's hamza too :)
same
Am I wrong... but crazy likeable kid. Right? There is something so likeable about the entire video.
With the money and time you spent you could buy a 2nd hand monitor
+Luis Chelinho Would it have been portable?
with a power bank yes 😋
@jpa5551 a mini fridge pertabe with a power button
I mean it does look pretty cool like retro linda
Still, he must have learned quite a lot. Knowledge is a thing.
Your building skills will get better. Just stay away from major power tools for awhile. Nicely documented tips on the basics of prototyping.
i need subtitles in portuguese please!!!
Next project case, try finding a pre-made project box, or find some abs plastic sheets, cut them out, and epoxy them together.
first 😎😋
As per tradition, you, my friend, get a cookie.
StarTech has Mac compatible adapters as well. We the one you have must've been the best solution for you. Highly recommend against playing games on the display if it's connected via the USB adapter. They are not meant for it.
second!
Thanks for also telling why you did what you did.. and what things didn't workout.. I like your work
+Himanshu Ghadigaonkar Thanks!
For the button that is not long enough - use a rod or even cut off a ikea pen or whatever and glue it to a tiny plate (e.g. cuttout of a pringles plastic lid, whatever you can find in your plastic garbage) and put that in the hole from behind. make sure the actual button switch sits close to it so there's no wobbling. depending on how thick your case is, just leave the rod longer.
You have so many ideas and probably just didn't feel the need for having a better solution but boi, i just went all autism on that tiny detail.
You can not hook up lion batteries in parrallel as much as you want. You can only pack identical batteries in parallel otherwise you will end up with imbalanced voltages. For ex when you open a laptop battery those are coupled from production. So usually there is 2 or 4 of them are dead. Remaining ones can be used in parallel without balancing.
props for not monitizing this!
I subbed, cool video.
Amazing how many people in the comments pride themselves on never lifting a finger in their life, good thing we got folks like you Hamza to counter balance the lazy.
So simple system for a battery power, charging and stuff. I was just looking for this.
Good work. I like how you could still use the 12V input...
Nice Build, you should get a coping saw, save you messing about with dremel and or file. Will save you a lot of time.
Your knowledge on electronic circuits is great but goddamn you made me cry with your woodshop skills!
That's a popular comment I'm seeing here :P
best comment in the comment list
I love this !! I run into the same shit when I do projects. I love how you explain what happens.
"i did this... Then i noticed it fucked up, trying to fix if fucked it up more. Then i painted it again"
It feels like Im the one filming....
Great work. You do you boo boo.
If you drilled the wholes out first with a smaller diameter drill bit the MDF is less likely to crack
And you could use 2 small piece of MDF that is left over from the frame ( one like a toothpick, and one as a "button") and glue it to the button.
I slight part of my thumb once with a box cutter, mainly because a mosquito stung me as I was cutting Plexiglas and my hand slipped against the ruler that the blade was guiding on. Needless to say Im fine now but I layed off it for a couple months. Now I work out of my newly built shop instead of the outdoors, where the bugs cant touch me lol.
+- - Haha yeah, good to have a controlled environment
You should have used a router for the screen cutout.
Also, you can use standard wood glue for MDF, it's very reliable. Most people seriously underestimate the strength of wood glue.
Didn’t monetize the video because he felt it might be copying someone else... wow you don’t see that on UA-cam. You got my sub dude.
I see all the BC Tech Summit free gear. Nice someone's still using it.
loved the description and the try&fail approach... Well done
I give this dude respect bc if I cut my self I stop the project for a week or two for the my finger to heal.
