Deldotb has just finished his touch screen mod for Dell Mini 9.

You can use any of the Ebay touch panels for 8.9 inch screens, but taking USB lines from mini pci-e pins is a bit tricky... that's why he took the USB from one of the external usb ports...


Here is a picture of USB lines at Mini 9's pci-e pins... it's from the GPS enabled Mini 9

Yep, you need to have the touch panel, the controller ( same 8,9 inch as you can buy for Eee PC 900/901 ) and soldering skills.

USB lines are taken from the PCI-E connector and 5V from the mainboard ( not powered on stand by )

Just like on Eee PCs, you need to have the touch panel, the controller ( I have no idea where he got it ) and soldering skills.

USB lines are taken from the PCI-E connector and 5V from external USB port ( powered on stand by? )



Thanks, Kdotnogi and thanks Mike!

Hope this helps you all..

Some notes:

Taking the screen cover away can be tricky. That new hinge design is harder to open..

This panel is very thin. ( it has to be to fit ) Be extra careful! Use soft and thin double sided tape to secure it to the screen and to avoid metal contact.

It's gooooood!

UPDATE: there is a great follow up on installing touch and HDD, thanks HeartBeat!
