Sun Ray 150 LCD virtual desktop uncovered

Have you ever wondered what is in side the beautiful and stable body of the Sun Ray 150 virtual desktop? We have broken down the secret to the chips, PCBs and screws hidden under the tough skeleton of this ever lasting small Sun Ray beast.

You will find all the high resolution pictures in our Google Picasa album.

The backside plastic cover is easy to go under and it is the key entry point. Large number of screws hidden around the EMC cage is very appealing and feels like the first line of defense before killing the desktop. Maybe the number of engineers working on the Sun Ray 150 is equal to the number of screws, however you should get your self an electric drill machine, because you will need it.

The old time fashion plastic will fight you like the Ben and Jerry Chunky Monkey frozen to minus 40 and you must remember the old times of “getting under” without braking the LCD. We like the solid work and extra weight.

There is to many wires and chips compare to modern desktop warfare. By the time of production, each silicon stone and power exposure may have had its own meaning. But these days, the Sun Ray 150 feels violently open like an old mighty dino searching his way to the desktop power saving graveyard.

Do not get fooled by the number of wires and silicon. It is loved and hated machine and the stamina beyond the regular warranty provides an excellent support yo every day usage. You should watch out for minor LCD defects that may carry five or more years of usage. But entry level education class or trial test room will benefit of this all-in-one Sun Ray solution. We wish, that there is much larger number of used Sun Ray 150 on the market, because of schools and other EDU projects love them so strongly as we hate to strip down one them for you. But this is one was dead a long before, we came with a electric drill.

What we have sort of expected is the LCD producer. You say is. It is Samsung. With a good care a environment where used, these LCD will work for you after five or more years. On the other hand, is the most common pain of aging for Sun Ray 150 virtual desktop.
