Give me a good enough description, and I can pretty much scribble anything down for anyone!
There could also be an item hunt game, where you have scrounge thru a pile of junk to find the right part in x amount of time!
The answer to 1984 is 1776!

it needs more violence, like the player is confronted with a gang of thugs that want him to make them an xbox 360 laptop each. The player, armed with only a butane powered soldering iron and an x-acto knife has to fight through them to reclaim his freedom!
you could make one where you have to use the joystick to move your soldering iron and you have to solder certain parts together to make your portable in a certain amount of time. the more you do this the harder it gets and more soldering you have to do. that ratchet and clank 2 is awesome and the one for psp is cool to
What about some Mini-Games that would come out of Ben's movies? Like shooting-a-hole-in-the-gas-can, or getting the extra bit of film onto the movie reel.
Rythm based soldering game?
A game where you spin the analog stick to screw in stuff.
Video game history\Technology quiz to act as the forum.
Um.... Word scramble with words relating to Portables.

Why not make the game with a kind of RPG style element in it? Example, you have World of Warcraft. One thing you can do as an enchanter is disenchant and get items from something complete. Have that as part of the overall game. You enter competitions, make items by working and buy parts to make something cool. If you win, you get a tv for example and you can choose to break apart the tv for more items to make something else later on for winning more competitions or whatever?
Use this idea kinda as a main idea to go with the mini-games. Add a store to buy electronic components or even have a (fake) online store to order parts and you must wait certain amount of time (RL) before that part arrives and then you can get it to build whatever else.
