I am looking for the cable that lets me connect a usb device internally without soldering.



Someone else posted this picture in the 'solderless touchscreen thread'.

Anyhow I already did searching, not sure exactly what its called '4 pin usb harness'?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That'd be awesome - I'd love an internal usb (which i don't have to solder). But where would that connector fit in the mini 9?

Gee, didn't take long to find one on google using "internal usb cable"...

Here is a place that has custom ones

as far as available internal ports, there must ba at least one since it is used by the GPS mod.

There is no internal connector for USB - the people who did the GPS mod soldered wires to the pads where the WWAN connector would go since a USB signal is available there.

Gee, didn't take lone for a newbie to post a failed google search with sarcastic undertones; your googled "internal usb cable" is nothing more then a 5 wire tower motherboard cable.

My Mini dosent have a webcam, but im thinking he is referring to the 'port' the Webcam is plugged into?

Yeah, I was thinking of the webcam port as well. The solderless touchscreen in the thread the OP mentioned includes an internal USB hub which attaches to the webcam connector (if you have a webcam on your Mini, you just plug it into the hub, so there's no lost functionality). Here's the pic of the hub for those who haven't read through the solderless touchscreen thread:



Sorry, though, that I can't really help out finding that internal cable.

I have been searching for the correct connector for the cam port. I found the proper one for the bluetooth but the tool to do the crimping makes it far too expensive to build them. I sold lots of webcam to usb harnesses for the eee series, unfortunately the connectors are different on the Dell mini's. I am still researching though, and I will have some up for sale if they can be located.

Looks like i'm gona have to email digikey with some images.

Ah, means i'd have to lose the webcam for internal usb. hmm... :?
