Worklog Ashida build. My first portable.

[StormEye45]

The peel moment:



After a year working flawlessly (the DD just needs a new bitstream on RVLoader to stop it crashing, hopefuly Aurelio makes it public one day lol) with the new case I can finally call this build complete. I'll probably start a new one some day where I'll add bluetooth and mx chip.

congrats on the build

Oh, there's something else.

While doing the transplant, I took the opportunity to finally replace the fan with this one (model MF35100V2-1000U-A99 in case the link doesn't work anymore) as recommended by @Darkside19 a couple of years ago. Anyone reading in the future, I also recommend using that one instead of the one listed on the ashida BOM. This one is much quieter and can actually run at slower speeds while being quiet and not make strange noises like the other one (at the time of me writing this, this is the fan listed on the bom. I suggest do not use that one).

I suggest do not use that one).

This worklog has probably been the most helpful one while planning my first ashida, looks great!
