RX200 to DNA200

[enjay]

I think next time I'll just hit myself on the knees with a hammer!

Friend on FB had a ruined RX that no longer worked, turned out the 510 was pretty minced too. I thought why not give it a go, the board is only £60 or so from modmaker uk anyway.

Obviously stripped the paint off, polished it up then gave the parts a dose of lacquer (which has taken a bit of abuse lol)

Drilled out the 510 then had to mod a fair chunk inside and out to get the fat daddy 510 just right.

Buttons all need sanded down to make them thinner too as the dna switches sit higher.

Used a dremmel type tool and cutting disc for the screen opening then finished with needle files. When you peel off the plastic screen protector off the RX it reveals the perfect indent to cut out for the dna screen.

Battery tray was also slightly modded, up top to make extra space for the 510, turns out there's really not a lot of room in there lol

Anyway bottom line is it works but would I do it again? NO!

Yeah. Refurbishment/repairs are mostly harder than building from scratch.

Always good to rejuvenate something though.

I love it
Wish my rolo's had a fat daddy

Well done enjay looks good, just make sure the screen cable is clear of the fire button if you haven't already.

It seems to be but worst comes to worst I'll have to buy another screen. I'm just pleases to be finished lol

There's something to be said for a nice square shaped box with lots of room

A nice box with just enough room + a little spare is my preference lol

Im still in love with my original RX200’s. There great for a strong matchie matchie game.
510 Pins are so chewed up by now , but i dont have the tools at hand to drill them and re soder them, so I just have to live with it.
