Powkiddy X18 teardown

Despite the X18’s current software related flaws the internals itself are pretty nice. It wouldn’t be that hard to take apart if it weren’t for the shoulder button ribbon cables which are very fragile and will tear like the XD and those two case posts that complicate removal of the motherboard. There has to be a better way to pop open the LCD lid than the way I did it. There is a gap between the heatsink and the CPU so a thermal pad in there could be of use for longer gaming sessions.
