@@dialupdavid Ah thanks, I'm picking up a new GPD Win2 and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to reset the CMOS or retrofit the rumble function if it's a model from the newest production batch.
Unfortunately not, I've had to have my GPD RMA'd for button issues. The turnaround time for that is ridiculously long for being shipped back and forth between the U.S. and China.
There's a guy on eBay that's a part supplier of GPD bits and bobs. Check in with this seller, he should be able to get you what you need! www.ebay.com/usr/rjpia
What's the model number for the SSD connector? I really like your idea about the SSD placement and ribbon routing.. I've been wanting to do exactly that too. m.2 ribbon extensions have a lot of unnecessary stuff, and all we need is power and SATA lines. A shielded ribbon cable may be required though. Be mindful that SSDs get hot and may warp the plastic behind the LCD or damage the LCD itself.. So you may need to sink some of the heat away from the LCD. When i was considering an SSD behind the LCD, i kind of thought of something for the heat. I've been mulling over an idea about cutting the center out of the LCD back cover, leaving a 1CM bezel, and using an aluminum sheet, cemented to the plastic bezel. The bezel would make it so it'd still clip in safely, but the aluminum would sink some of the heat out. Also, for the rumble, the secondary board was redesigned, can't even support the rumble so people can't even add it. So i still never got an official reason why the new one's no rumble.
They are the white ones on the list, the main difference is the part height, so any of them should really work for this application. www.digikey.com/products/en/connectors-interconnects/rectangular-connectors-arrays-edge-type-mezzanine-board-to-board/308?k=&pkeyword=&FV=fffc00ff%2C1600020%2Cii2%7C2172%2Cffe00134&quantity=0&ColumnSort=0&page=1&photo=1&pageSize=500
Damn, i'd love to see the bottom of this... You've added the heatsinks directly to the plate of the part? How Your bottom cover looks like? I think this mod is freaking awesome and im damn tempted to make my own version, i have some spare aluminum and copper heatsinks, im quite handy with soldering and modding yet i havent even touched gpd that way :P I even havent replaced thermal paste...
did the mod. getting great temps. thanks for the vid
what are the sizes of the metal heatsinks you soldered? do you have a link?
How can I determine if it's a second revision from just looking at the exterior?
Unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to do that externally. Sorry.

any update on your mod ideas? really curious to see the fan mod!

I hope they are watching your vids and taking notes
Damn, the stuff you're doing is pretty risky but if it works in the end then it would be really badass. Keep up the cool videos!
Where did you get the second fan from?

7w with stock will be nowhere close to 90c but good mod nevertheless. I run 10-12 stock with very conservative undervolt and it hardly goes above 75c
Really? Wow, Mine was very hot at stock under a combined synthetic load test. Could have been a bad paste job from GPD then.
