We're sorry for the delay, our package was unexpectedly held up, but are expecting the Touchscreens to arrive either tomorrow or Thursday.

At this time we do not have a Touchscreen kit for the Dell Mini 10. We are looking into the possibility and do appreciate any product suggestions that anyone may have and feel free to post those in the Product Suggestion thread.

The Hoda 8.9" Solderless Touch Screen Kit for the Dell Mini 9 arrived today. All backorders will be filled, and we will have active stock. The Touch Screens will be available on eBay and the MDD website. If you have been waiting make sure to place your order so you will be sure to get one.

hey there.

I was a big modder on the eeePC forum last year and spent hours installing soldered and solderless hubs and TS's in 701's.

was reviewing your product and realized that Hoda consolidated the previous separate TS controller and 4 port hub onto one board!

this is fantastic, as the dell mini 9 does not have the big open spaces that the eeePC did.

if no one else has done it, I'll video the whole take apart and install. can someone tell me if it's already posted, so I don't waste the time?

going solderless is totally the way to go. many of us bricked 701's with inadvertent shorts, often from pinched wires on reassembly.

also, theoretically, if you were really clean on the install and didn't break anything, you could remove it later and still be under warranty (does dell have any "removal voids warranty" stickers inside?)

can't wait for the kit to arrive. just ordered last night.

btw, I would not order from deal extreme on this item. I have been trying since march to get a useable TS. they have shipped 3, all cracked, and I have had to pay for returning them. only yesterday did I get word that they will finally refund my paypal. and this kit has the 2 boards, not one consolidated one.

my plan is to install a 64 gb flash drive internally, moving my home directory there. internal 16 gb SSD is cramped, and I'm too cheap right now to buy a 64 gb SSD. I may add some dip switches to turn things on/off, too, to save juice when I am on battery. the nice big back door on the dell gives me lots of ideas.

Is the touch screen controller/USB hub the same for all the Hoda kits?

[chewy]

don't know if all of them are consolidated onto one board. if you look at the picture of each kit and it's just one board, then they're all the same.

I do know that the controller and hub themselves are not machine specific, only the plug on the end of the wire. so if you're good with soldering, you could put one into any machine.

i even bought a 15 inch kit to use as an overlay on my 15 in powerbook. I was just going to plug the usb module in from the outside when I used it, figuring the titanium lid had no room to insert a TS.

[Thorsteenster]

Yeah I was looking through each kit and the controller/hub look the same for all. I was looking at one for the Mini 10 soldering onto the backside of an external USB port.
So it doesn't matter, I just need to order a 10.1 kit.

[chewy]

are they the same as the wind or eee series? it looks more like a 16:9 to me, so you might want to check measurements. if it is a little tall but would still fit under the bezel, and not block anything, you could use it once calibrated, though.

[Thorsteenster]

Ah, good point. I'll have to see if I can get some actual panel dimensions and compare them to the LCD.
