Greg A on Tiny11 Makes Windows 11 Small.This is not your typical laptop to firewall hack, that’s for sure.įail Of The Week: Epic 312 Weeks Of Fixing A Broken Project 6 Comments On the project documentation, we can see a lot of different modifications went into building it, such as bios modification for new WiFi modules to work, an Attiny85 fan driver for extra cooling, a 45W PSU inside the case and other interesting hacks. The enclosure was then designed and 3D printed.īut went further to optimize his brand new router/firewall. Once again, the SSD cable had to be hacked as the laptop originally used a super-slim HDD with a non-standard connector. For storage, he chose 16GB SanDisk U100 Server half-slim SSD for its power efficiency.
He decided to hand solder the M.2 A/E (WiFi card) to have a PCI-E 1x breakout since his searches for an adapter came out empty or too expensive. The board had PCI-E via an M.2 A/E key slot for the WiFi module but need a normal PCI-E slot to connect the quad-port NIC. What started as adding an old Pentium heatsink to it and see how good it would work, escalated to a fully working, WiFi, 4 port gigabyte NIC, 3D printed case firewall. The laptop was damaged, but the main board was functioning just fine. sent us an interesting project he made out of a Lenovo Yoga 2 motherboard: a pfsense router/firewall. That’s one of the reasons it’s interesting to know which projects are being made to bring back to life these things. It seems the older I get, the density of broken and/or old laptops on my garage grows.
