Install the heatsinks before building. Don't forget the RTC battery (CR1220). Revisions after this are slightly different, one of the standoffs under the HDMI board are gone. Instead of screwing it temp from the bottom just screw in all 4 standoffs from the top. Remove the film from LCD. Also the network cable they use in the video is killing me! Please don't do cables like that! Hope these notes help someone in the future.
FFS, this will be my second time disassembling the darn thing due to lack of steps in this video and the manual. Forgot the heatsinks first, then forgot battery. I assume the lack of battery is why the LCD doesn't display. EDIT: The battery is not needed I guess, and the display issue was caused by me using the wrong image... the wiki on Geekworm's site for the corresponding device is the way to follow this. I was following the DIY V2 on PiKVM's site. Working well now!
The machine does not boot without an SD card, but I can't believe the video does not tell us how to prepare the SD card with the required software as its not going to work with a vanilla RPI image.
looks like you forgot to remove the protective film off the OLED display at around 2:54 ... looks like still left on after the case is assembled as well or the oled got cracked during install.
do you provide heatsinks as well? because I can't see that on your website. also would the aluminum heatsinks fit in the case considering there is a fan there as well.
@@Geekworm The radiator we provide is relatively thin, so it can also be installed. The fan blows towards the radiator, and the heat dissipation effect will be better.
How about battery assembly? How about audio cable assembly? Heat sink assembly? Not mentioned at all, and not installed in the video. This is not a complete video. And for the updated board, this video is not updated..
I am having issues with the mouse not working. The discord person told me it was because it was not there board and only happens with your board. Is there a fix? I have it hooked up to a Teksmart 8 port KVM.
@@anazhir I asked in the official Discord Server 1 week ago. ATX control is not mandatory so PiKVM can work without that. Obviously you can not power on the pc from PiKVM, you have to do it manually

did you put aluminum heatsinks with this? which heatsinks would fit considering there is a fan in there as well.

Where do the heatsinks go?
@1:04 install heatsinks on RPI4 FIRST!
Where do they go? Do you have a picture?
do you provide heatsinks as well? because I can't see that on your website. also would the aluminum heatsinks fit in the case considering there is a fan there as well.
Hi, 3pcs aluminum heatsink is included in the KVM-A3 kit.
@@Geekworm there is a fan in there as well so would the heatsinks fit?
@@rmkky2470 Yes, the 3pcs aluminum heatsinks fit.
@@Geekworm The radiator we provide is relatively thin, so it can also be installed. The fan blows towards the radiator, and the heat dissipation effect will be better.
@@Geekworm do the heatsinks come with thermal tape or thermal paste as well?

Is there supposed to be a battery included in the kit? theres a slot for one but nothing included.
Sorry, the CR1220 coin battery for RTC function is not included, please purhcase it yourseld, the battery is not allowed for the shipping.

This setup can be built with in a laptop without X630-A5? I have a laptop for my work and i cant install or open the case for obvious reasons.
No. No ATX Control, no PIKVM.
@@anazhir I asked in the official Discord Server 1 week ago. ATX control is not mandatory so PiKVM can work without that. Obviously you can not power on the pc from PiKVM, you have to do it manually
@@marc_gutii Yes. Sorry this was Not a good answer. I wanted to say: No ATX Control without a ATX Connection. PiKVM can work without it.
what about to connect this device to a laptop? which MB is hidden and there is no such pins?
Hi, if connect to laptop, the X630-A5 can't be installed for ATX control, you can not control the power on/off of the laptop.
I have this but the OLED screen isn't working, does it require any config?
Hi, yes, config is required, please refer to the FAQ: wiki.geekworm.com/PiKVM-A3#FAQ
@@Geekworm Thank you
man changing the battery on this thing isn't going to be easy later
CMOS batteries take decades to go bad tho, whatever
Terrible video. Doesn't show where to put heatsinks and doesn't show installing battery.
