  • About one square meter of 3.2 mm hardboard
  • About 5 meters of thin battening (the smaller and lighter the better)
  • CPU or PSU fan
  • 9V battery
  • Switch for fan
  • Handheld magnifying glass
  • Plenty of screws
  • Stong wood glue

First take your handheld TV, and remove the casing.
Depending on the model, you may have to disconnect the speaker, antenna and controls in order to fully remove the case.
