Archos 9 tablet dissected

Archos 9 is out now and you may have noticed that it's 1.1Ghz Atom with slow HDD and Windows 7 isn't that fast.. No worries as you can swap the HDD quite easily to fast SSD.

As you can see, it needs to be 1.8 inch PATA ZIF SSD.

Judging by these pics there is not much more to modify inside it but it's always fun too see how they look inside...



More pics here, thanks FCC

Many asked these pics so here they are...

Upgrading in mind, SSD is mini zif so there is no room for 1.8 inch SSDs on 3G versions..

I have no info if non 3G versions have the pcie connector there, if not, there is room for 1.8 inchers.

Review video uploading now.. more on the video.

Lets see...

SSD is 50mm so we should be able to use 3rd party SSDs for Dell mini 9.

Right from GPS board is place for SIM card reader.. so if you swap GPS card with 3G + GPS and solder the SIM slot you get internal 3G pretty easily.

RAM ( and future SIM ) are accessible from bottom lid.. so RAM is upgradable.

Dual SD card slots.. one for normal use, one is " Disk-expander Slot"

And yes, non removable battery.. BAD Asus BAD!


There is also manual on FCC so download it to learn all before you get one.



Thanks FCC

UMID M1 UMPC dissected

It looks like UMID is not using PCI-E 3G modem but either Siemens or some other modem with btob connector... so 3G upgrade is not that easy...

If power and USB lines are found on bigger pads, you could always solder a modem like I did here.

RAM and SSD soldered ...

Overall the internal design looks better than external.. Happy hacking Joe!

Thanks UMPCFever!

So.. on the HDD version, there is no room for 3G modem...

RAM is soldered like on all new UMPCs..

By soldering the pci-e connector and swapping HDD to mini zif SSD you could add 3G pci-e modem.

I'm getting mine in few days so stay put to see how to upgrade to 3G... Or maybe I'm getting the 3G SSD version...

Take the keyboard out to see the HDD and wireless cards..


2.5 inch sata HDD


Optional TV tuner..


Atom cpu and RAM on separate board, RAM is soldered so no upgrading...


The 3 pci-e slots provide some options for easy hacking, but the soldered RAM might be deal braker for some...

Thanks Dell for the pictures!
