Moderator:Moderators
hi all, all of us know the most sucess projects and finished latops.
but what about the abandoned or fail projects?
i´m sure about more than 1 guy abandoned a project due a lot of time gave on the project and not reached next level.
or simply the circuit crashed.
ok i will start my ones.
here are some of my sucess projects
*my psp mods
*my GCP
*a latop mod ( i haven´t got the photos uploaded yet srry,)
and here my abandoned projects
*n64p :abandoned due i used my only portable fine screen on the GCP, and i had some troubles creating a battery-converter.
* first latop: my first latop was a gift of my grandfather, it was very very quite old , and it was the screen very dark due it was old and used. the battery was gone and the keyboard wasn´t work, it crashed when i connected an external keyboard to the keyboard external port to try enter in the bios, when i connected the keyboard something in the motherboard fried suddenly :S
* a few tryes to repair a latop batteries using a old ones. i simply had no luck and the most of battery modules was gone due them was old and used.
* wii latop. : it crashed at the first steep :S lol i suck hehe, some games had DRE, then i tryed to adjust the POT a lot of times, but not results, i tryed adjust more times the pot and it finally crashed the wii dvd drive.
* belkin router mod: i tryed to modify a belkin router model F5D7230-4
version 2000ef adding a firmware mod (dd-wrt) , the first time it semibricked when i flashed it using tftp, i tryed flash it again using tftp more times and no luck, finally it fully fuked up and it is fully bricked

N64p (was too picky on the case)
SNESp (a few different versions)
NESp (a few different versions)
PS2p (2 different versions)
NES/SNES combo unit (had it down pat, didn't feel like buying/soldering all the bilateral switches needed)
Laptop dock
GCp (failed at drive relocation)
Benchtop PSU (required a large external transformer and the voltmeter for it broke)
Better Vacuumform (had a few different designs, most overly complex )
Probably more that I can't remember/haven't listed

I don't "give up" on projects as much as I "set them aside for extended lengths of time". Usually I get too bored/discouraged to complete them.
Flash animation: Still have all the files for the 360 ad one. Tried to do a Christmas one but started way too late so it got zipped up and put into storage. Back to the first one, once I figure out how to draw characters that don't look awful.
PSone portable: Got hung up on the batteries and case. All the parts (PSones, Intec screenpad screens) currently in a box.
PhpBB Pocket Template: Needs a name, currently getting the most attention. (Big problem fixed this weekend: I was working on the original SubSilver template so every file needed fixing so it didn't try to load from the wrong folder. The "replace all in all open documents" function of Notepad++ saved my butt.)
Secret-ish project #1: Have all the parts ready to go, some need testing and fitting, and cover plates need fabrication. Will probably finish this spring or over winter break.
Secret-ish project #2: Need to work on fitting parts, extending capacitors, and desoldering connectors to save space. A different cord might be in order.

PSoneP - Abandoned since I can't find the CD spindle part. Will continue if I find a part and a screen.
DIY projector - Wanted to make a big projection of Spyro on the white wall of mine. Everything was really well, I did project a picture and when I was about to close it all up, the LCD "ribbon cable" was snapped. Can't resolder. When trying to resolder, I shorted out the screen. Probably the biggest fail in Aguiluz History. Ahem... Ahem... Ahem...
NESp - Abandoned due to customs (yes, the Philippine Customs) problems. I thought of bringing it to the airplane to our migration to Canada but darn NAIA (Ninoy Aquino Int'l Airport) might accuse me of bomb making and bomb bringing to airplane. My rear end.
Computer Case Cutting: I had a desktop PC a while back. Wanted to have a custom case with neon tubes. Abandoned since we are migrating to Canada.

PSoneP (officially the most expensive portable ever [and it still didn't work!]) Spent just over $2000 on it. http://forums.benheck.com/viewtopic.php?t=16694
