[PIV0Tlol]

[adamtech57]

I was wondering If I Fix a touch screen in to case with out screen can i use it to draw stuff on asus eee pc

[jkkmobile]

[nemesvok42]

[TheDirtyDeek]

Awesomely cool video ;D

[nobodybeatspetes]

Thank you, kind sir

[ShLo16]

Ok, so I wonder if anyone can answer me this, I have a regular Toshiba Satelite, and I want to make it a touch screen, but not the stupid put a thing over the screen and voila! I want to either do something like the guy in this video did, or buy a touch screen replacement and install it on my laptop. The thing I need to know is if this is possible. Do I need things to add to the motherboard or can I just swap out the screens? I have replaced parts on my laptop before but not a touch screen. :)

[jkkmobile]

@ShLo16 if you can find a touch panel that's the same size as your screen you can do it exactly like I did on the video

[erichertsens]

thanks man, appreciated and helped a successful install :-)

[jkkmobile]

@erichertsens My pleasure! Have fun!

[leloodallasmultipass]

is this kit still available?

[djvinnie112]

[nong010319]

Wow your a real expert cool dude...

[shoaib6660]

Hi I broke my Asus EEEPC 1005 PEB 10.1 inch screen. I want to buy the screen online, but I am confused because I am not sure the screen wil fit in or not. Can any1 tell me are all the 10.1 ich for asus are same or not? Please that will be a huge favour.

[MrStankoman]

Hi just wondering. If the touch panel controller is standard usb, Why didn't you just solder it on the inner side of the usb port ?

Why did you hassle with those tiny connectors, aren't all usb ports same?

[MRCAB]

This video is also useful if you want to upgrade the 4GB SSD.

[Medicusxxl]

Thank you for this helpful video...

[54321nba]

wtf!!!! 46 min!!!!!!!!1

[brianhomerhk]

Hi possible to upgrade for lenovo S10?

[balanarahul]

two things:-

whats that on the left of the left ssd screw hole at 12:38

can we replace the wifi card with a novatel wireless EU850D

[balanarahul]

the cursor was there because you have places the touch panel wrong

you had to place it such that the wire was on the left but you did it the other way

well it doesn't matter because of calibration!!!

[zorgeloze]

just one quistion i need to know...

is it touch sensitive?

I mean, does it know the difference between pressing hard and pressing soft?

I'd like to be able to sketch on it if i were to install it.

[vincentkej]

Excellent job there...

[Duh521]

dmn thts a long vid

wanna watch to the end but ran out of time

:[

[WackoX1337]

[spinycrayfish]

[al7omed134]

[leo1636]

Chuvak, awesome video! Hope it works for me as nicely as it did for you... Good luck and thanks for sharing your skills and knowledge with us mortals :)

[Slegarthoth]

I wonder if you can add the upcoming Pixel Qi screens in the same way?

[Rodnox]

now thats what i was looking for .. a detailed video with more than just "Now u do this, I have prepared that already, ..." great video ... And it gives me an idea how long it will take.

[TheMrbobguy24]

OMGwtfffffff 46min!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nvideabelgium]

nice video , but you wreally need to work with star wars , when i hear your voice ^^

[int3rl0per]

Dude, you rock. :)

You speak like Abyss Laakkonen and keep dangerous liquids (coffee) close to sensitive electronics, and you solder like a pro.

I'd have your abortion if I was female. You have a new subscriber. :)

[snemeis90]

Why are you alowed to post videos which are longer than 10 minues????????

[rjstudiosvideos]

He's a YouTube Partner, thats why.

[Rodnox]

why not ... as long as it is private content u can post vids as long as u want.

[martysmartylol]

WTF 46 minutes?:O

[lattoofi]

You're the best.

[biboKralle]

Multitouch is only possible on capacity-touchscreens, this is a resistive-touchscreen.

[hitman1319]

what about multi touch like on my iphone 3g

[hitman1319]

how did u upload the movie so long, i thought it;s only 10 min MAX?

[Tribe3R]

partner vid

[SO459]

No, its 100MB maximum file size :D

[madwilliamflint]

VERY VERY nice video.

It's a little too high precision for me. My hand's just not that steady.

[Chavagnatze]

They have solderless kits now. They a basically USB hubs that connect into the USB headers and allow you to connect more devices later.

[wwjoshdew]

Hahaha. 05:18 "When you open that, your warranty is gone!. and your warranty is gone! You think think think and DO IT!"

[EthanTheExplorer]

LOL

[AndreyXaker]

LOL!!!

[frigginjoe]

LOL, I think we've all been through that.

[jar1836]

Think Think think about how your gona keep the seal on and open it

[ZMEUnet]

@wwjoshdew hi , where is located the warranty seal?

[ZutiGufu]

nope. Msi wind sucks.

=]

[Ioakim2007]

on 39:43 its windows xp and on 45:18 its vista. is it just a dual boot or something is wrong here?

[Detroit4Eva]

That was impressive. I would try it but am afraid of the soldering part.

[munkyinvasion]

How similar is opening this compared to the 904HA model?

[rimeanthony]

how did u not brake the system sticker

[southieal]

I know there was a site that was selling the stickers but I can't remember the name. I am also pretty sure they have stopped selling them recently.

[manie1087]

can I add touch screen and do the same installation with asus 904hd? do they have the same locations where to solder the wires like the 901?

[brunnenguk]

Very impressive modification, how much did the touch screen cost? (And how much would a manufacturer charge for a laptop with a touch screen I wonder) I expect that due to their (low) price, netbooks such as the eee will spawn a sizable modding community.

[razzman038]

very nice video. hopefully they will launch eee 901 on the philippines.

[AMIIZix]

the smoldering process is scaring me from doing this =/ i so want toooooo tho

[chootastic]

That's just the coating on the solder. Smells quite nice really.

[jjwentworth1]

you suck masowai.

[jjwentworth1]

Can you do a demo for the Acer Apire One TOuch screen installation? Thanks you are awesome!

[mart9999999999999999]

great video - you are a great guy to share your knowledge with the world . Excellent and many thanks !!

kind regards,

Martin

[RedRumCH]

Great tut!

Is it about the same to install it on a Eee 900?

[theartofluv]

I will do this to my PC Eee for sure, but I have 10" screen Eee PC 1000H :(, is anyway I can find 10" touch panel>

[tanbrolo]

Sweet. Nice work.

[guitarpieter]

awesome man

ive got the the eee 900 to love it :p

but did you instal vista on it

or is it a skin

and ps: how can you post a 45min video????!!

[derek0086]

very interesting video, nice work,mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Deutschland

[hotpizza08]

wow, you are a genius!!!!!

[andrewsenske]

Excellent. The touch screen looks like it works beautifully. The line "I'll use the force if you don't come nicely" cracked me up. After my warranty expires on my 901 I think I may do this. Does this modification affect power consumption and/or increase heat in the chassis? Thanks for posting a great video.

[zenderady]

hey man. This video raised a lot of interest to me. But I just bought a 1000H. Looks alot like the one u have there. Does it work in mine too? thx

[graphattic]

Dude (irrelevant question coming up) how can you upload a 40 mn video on youtube?

Cool think with the screen........you are one calm guy to do this

[jkkmobile]

i have older director account so i can upload as long videos i want... max file size 2gb :)

[Asaweb]

Wow. I had no idea you could do that. Hhx for the guide.

BTW: Has anyone ever told you, you sound like one guy who makes amateur porn? It's a compliment ;)

[Konve]

I like the "Don't loose all the screws"-comment ^^

[speedygong]

wow.... youve got my respect ;-)

[dudeeeeee16]

dude pls help me out.....do u loose something along with this installation?perticulary webcam or mics or something?pls respond

[jkkmobile]

no, you dont loose any...

[dudeeeeee16]

please be patient with me man.....I discovered the Eeepc a little more than a month ago,so I'm kinda newbish.Than what did u sacrifice to connect the touchscreen controler 2?also what can u tell me of those "solderless" touchscreens on ebay?I kinda want to not get involved with that part(I have at fingers and low sensitivity and might brake the whole damn Eeepc)Thnaks in advance and greets from Romania!

[jkkmobile]

i did not loose any other functions.

google "solderless 8.9 eee" to find it.. first results are the right ones.

[sahim333]

jkk very important Q:

i've got my kit but as u showed yellow red orange black wires i've got only 2 colors wire

2red n 2 black n though they've given no. 1234 but i donno where should i solder which one.

[sahim333]

it worked thnx a lot man.

[anarhy09]

u kinda remind me of barry white when u speak... lol :P nice guide! tnx there are few ppl that really teach us good stuff and ur one of them :)

[diggingforgold]

In the US, you can do anything to products and still have a valid warranty as long as what you did didn't cause damage to the unit. So you can solder, but if your soldering causes damage, your warranty is void, and ASUS will not fix it. Not so in other countries.

Kapton tape works well for small soldering since it can take all the heat the soldering iron can put out without melting. Just cut out a small mask and place it over the soldering area. Works great for those of us with unsteady hands.

[GoldRainGirl]

Thanks a lot for this video, if only just for the info on how to oen the screen :)

[jonomab]

i wonder if there is much of an impact on battery life

[rsilves]

mototho: They're available at eBay...

[aidsTV]

How much did you pay for the touchscreen (including circuit board)?

[jkkmobile]

about $70 US

[pigpilot]

Your kind effort of making this video will not go unappreciated. Thank you jkk.

[s4z0r]

does that void the garantee?

[aurinonico0000]

you loser you webcam? the webcam stop working? tanks

[pazin071]

What is the extra weight of this touch screen ?

[thesikcunts]

will the touch pad thing work if u put linux on it?

[SwapyWhoopedazz]

Uhm.. I gotta know.. Does this work with linux too? :]'

Great vid!

[acidgfx]

Great video, thanks :)

btw the small clamp is called a "crocodile clip"

[david27morris]

Hey Jkk, another great video. just wondering if you had the use the webcam port as you did on the 701? i realy want to nstall a touchscreen but dont want to lose the web cam?

plz let me know.

Thanks

Dave.

[zsxcd1013]

how did u get in 46 min?!?!

[pokechow]

Yea I'm also kind of wondering how did he put up a 46min video on youtube...

Other than that, nice video as always jkk.

[cadefulp]

u need a director account

[pokechow]

And I'm assuming to get that, there must be a small fee? Or is it free?

[mtotho]

i think he got it a long time ago, i do not believe they are available anymore. it is a shame youtube. 10minutes is nothing..

[kreativas]

[segagman]

[zosky1er]

[numpty1972]

I just wish Asus would do all this for us in the factory!

[minipcpro]

at 20:47

"i can't actually see what i am doing, cause the camera is in my way" :)

[TigerOfSKy]

"let's immediately... oh... I don't have a keyboard yet" lol :)

[raulitech]

[youtuse]

"..because this is the warranty void seal. So if you open that your warranty is gone. So think think think, AND DOOO YEEET" - lol,classic jkk

[strawberrysubmarine]
