nope. Not aware of any 8.9" touch screens out there as of yet.

Ebay has a bunch of 8.9" touchscreens but I haven't seen any pictures of touchscreen mods on Dell Mini's yet.

The first person to do this AND document it well on our Mini9's will be a hero.

Anyone know if buying the kits for the Eee's would work or should I get a general one? What about the ones that say solderless? I know those are for the Eee and it says that it uses the web cam plug. Do we know if it'd be that simple? I really have been wanting to do this mod.
Also any suggestions for a retailer on Ebay or for specs I should look for? And what about multi touch? |Type11 EFI 10.5.5, 2gb, Touch screen in progress| |

Man.. as soon as my midterms are over I'm going to look right into this, probably do it if I find that it's feasible.
http://cgi.ebay.com/EASY-8-9-SOLDERLESS ... 286.c0.m14 This one looks promising. I'll have to open this thing up and see if we can use this too. |

I opened mine up the other night and it looks like we can use those. Even the hub for the webcam and stuff too I believe. I'm not exactly sure. But I will be ordering mine pretty soon. Probably next week.

From what I saw in the pictures online and in the mini yes. But it's gonna be more about finding room for the hub I think. And if the hub doesn't work out then I should be able to just wire it up much like the integrated gps mod.

Guys, I am very close. I have it working with a test USB cord connected to one of the external USB plugs, so I'm there except for connecting it up to the USB bus internally and find room inside for the touch screen controller. When I get it finished, I'll post it here and maybe the moderator will make it an article on the home page.
I have the US version, so I'm thinking the empty WWAN space should be plenty. Any suggestions for the location of the internal USB? Read some of the eee PC installs, but the layout seems different for the Dell Mini. Hopefully I'll have this done and documented this weekend. |
