Hanvon - Setup Your Hard Drive & Folders

One Good thing i have found with the Hanvon is the way the hard drive is partition,
i know most might not like this,
but reason i find it really good is one main reason,
anything you have backed up onto the D: drive stays there even after doing a fresh install,

So how i have set up the hard drive is as follows
go into my computer,
expand the list on the left hand side,
Right click on the my document folder click on properties,
now the document properties window will open,
now tap on the location tab,
Tap on the move button and move the folder over to the D: drive,
do this for the Music,Video and Pictures folder,
once done all the location of the document/music/video and pictures will be on the D:,
which now make them really safe,

now if by chance your mate or kids ever hit the hotkey on start up and accidentally restore the system,
your Documents/Pictures/Music and Video will remain safe on the D: Drive...

the 3 1/2 hrs i get from the battery is good enough for my journeys,
but would like the battery to give me around 5hrs,
Battery repacking is a really good option,
or buying a Li-Polymer Battery Pack 7.4 volt 6000mAh,
which can be easily found on the net
http://www.all-battery.com/74vli-polymerandli-ionbatterypacks.aspx?page=2

I wont be starting my Battery mod just yet,
going to wait a little while till i see the battery is loosing its total charge....

***UPDATE***
Having the battery repack,
and upgraded to Li-Polymer Battery Pack 7.4 volt 6000mAh
this will set you back 79quid,
getting this done is cheaper in china where it works out too 59quid,
this will also add another 600g weight pushing the total weight of the Hanvon to over 1kg...

*********
UPDATE
*********

It seems i missed a bit of the command out,
Which Freak Bull Came up with,
So you will need to rewrite the script for autohotkey and use the commands below,
this will activate the toggle on the size to change screen format,
plus if you push the toggle in which is the enter key the toggle will default back to normal,
so you don't get any problems using the arrow keys on the keyboard...

you will need AutoHotKey to re-assign them.

Get it here http://www.autohotkey.com/

install and add this AHK commands then use the Rocker Switch to change the display mode -

Hanvon B10 BC10C Noisy Fan Mod

The past few days the fan noise is really getting to me,
specially when i have the tablet on low power sleep,
so yesterday i thought might as well see whats up with the fan,

Now after removing the fan from the unit,
by the way the details of the noisy cpu fan,

Fan -
Adda (made by)
AB04805HX08D300 (model)
DC 5v 0.40A
Hypro Bearing (ball bearing)

First thing which we can clearly see now is the fan is ball bearing base,
which is why we get a consistence of noise rather then the noise level going up and down on most laptops,
so by simply swapping the fan out with silent one the problem can be fixed,

the fan housing isnt light Alu which is another noise conductor and plastic housing would have helped keep the noise down,

Now there are 2 choices you have to lower the fan nose first one is swapping it out,
the 2nd option, well is more easier and cheaper as you stick to the same fan,
but instead solder silicone diode to the fan (red wire) this will reduce the power,
The fan will run fine at 60% power by using 2 diodes 1N4001,
and the noise level will drop by 30%,
Simple to do if you dont know how to solder just take the to any electrical repair store abd have it done there..

Hanvon Touchpad B10 BC10C Taken Appart, Disassemble and Fully Dissected

Finally found time to update the look BLOG, to disassemble photos not impress. Sign... TouchPad use to this day exactly a month more than a few days.
But it is maddening is that the parts ordered not in place, such as stents, such as random application.
Even more depressing is that, BIOS upgrade and no to me, with the TouchPad to put the fan running at full speed noise.

Closer to home, put disassemble map.

Looks simple, the back corners, a corner of a screw, but the screws are not used in the common cross Laptop screws, but Hexagon's.
Do not know the reasons for this design was too simple, the back cover and the body will see the gap where integration is not close.


To disassemble, specifically to buy a hexagonal screwdriver.
Very easy to get 4 back cover screws.


Sign ... To Fengyun hidden deep in the screw, knife were sent out ~!
At first I thought it hidden in a rubber mat feet inside, the result cups, open nothing.
Because of the back cover and find Fengyun screw body paint to a small drop Xu.
However, I found TouchPad and rear fuselage are all metal, no wonder the back of the heat more evenly 。 This I like.


Open the back cover look. 一Clear, simple and compact design.
Batteries account for one third of the space, though a 2.5-inch HDD, but which also appears in the TouchPad enormous.
There is only one memory slot space, when a single 4G notebook memory is also cheaper down?
Copper radiator good texture, but to see the point of the first bent at right angles to brass, from the principle of the heat pipe for thermal performance make this design greatly reduced.
After looking for equipment to be a heat transfer test to test.


Battery Feature. 7.4V4800mAh, mainstream notebook's battery, but can only support the TouchPad three hours of use.
Performance and use of time, really annoying.


TouchPad uses a 3DSP's wireless single-chip solution, integrated 802.11g and BT2.1.
Do not know why not 802.11n, if the BT3.0 perfect: devil:


As the limited size of small size touch computer, TouchPad uses a lot of sub-card bridge program.
For example here, motherboards, and this piece by the two sub-card data bus communication, across the middle of a piece of the hard disk.


Toshiba 2.5-inch 250G5400rpm the HDD, disc marked 5V1A voltage and power consumption, do not know will change into a SSD hard drive performance, while also remaining power? SSD
SSD are too expensive. 。 .
In exchange for the money to try again.
Note that the hard disk is connected through the daughter card and motherboard.


Samsung DDR2 memory, nothing special, 2G capacity can only meet the general use.
Waiting for the emergence of cheaper 4G.


Remove the memory board after the local feature. Work look good.


CPU and north bridge chip. CULV 730 of the frequency 1.3G, power 10W, performance is about double the N450.
My main choice is one of the reasons TouchPad.
To provide adequate performance for my use.
North Bridge integrated GMA4 mobile graphics chips, game performance is not reported on the count, play games on OK, mainly Chinese and the support of the 720P (1080P legend support, actual results terrible, not much better than the slide shows).


Board on the back of picture.
Integration is high, a lot of data lines. Good work.


This is the bridge drives the daughter card and motherboard connection through data lines.


More complex piece of sub-card.
Audio input and output, HDMI output, USB × 2, card reader.


Daughter card on the back. Are three data communication card port.
Small crabs are familiar with the integrated sound card chip.


Piece of unknown function daughter card, a daughter card connected to the above piece, an optical touch mouse connected.


Physical button on the side of the fuselage sub-card.
Has yet to find a custom button that five good way.


Daughter card camera and microphone. Provide 130W pixel camera.
The daughter card is very small, do not know the phone is not also used this?


After all the board removed the body.
Between the motherboard and LCD screen separated by a metal plate for protection and heat dissipation. LCD screen and the body adhesive, can not be removed.
Wireless card signal line is distributed in the medial edge of the fuselage.


Feature speaker body. Like a button battery. Only provide sound and effective general, the volume generally. Advisable to wear headphones in public places.


Finally, to a dismantling of the family portrait it. Still find many of the parts look. 一 A total of 46 screws. As the design outstanding, I can easily assemble all the parts back, which is not more screws to How many pieces.


TouchPad of dismantling this all over.
Thank you SR for filming.

They gradually will be sent after the actual experience.
Thank you for your attention.
