Acer One touch screen upgrade

I used a webcam to take pictures every 3 seconds as I installed a touch screen kit into my Acer One. On replay the pictures are playing back at 29.9fps. In other words, I compressed just under 4 hours worth of work into 2 minutes for your viewing pleasure.

The kit works fine, although I had to modify some aesthetic bits on the hinge to make the wires fit. In general the instructions were good, although they left out some key parts.

My Acer warranty is thoroughly trashed, although after dealing with Acer's RMA system once, I could tell Acer some good places to shove its warranty. The laptop came with a noisy fan and a dead USB port. I sent it back to Acer (on my dollar) and about 2 weeks later I got it back. Although the fan and usb ports were fixed, they downgraded my hard drive, blanked my operating system, and swapped a good piece of ram for a dead one. Yeah, they can shove it.

If you want any more information on the touch screen kit, the installation process, or any tips about the inside of an Acer One, please PM me or something.

@eltranced

A geek like me gets a bit of an adrenalin high, the pressure of if you mess up you kill your laptop mixed with the fascination of getting to see how its made...

That's cool, I got the exact same notebook (maybe different model or whatever, mine's the 120gb one, but still a 9" one ) Anyone have dealings with Conics? They got kits for a little over $100, but I've never heard of them.

And yeah, my warranty is out, :P

@Esternamornezz I have actually since taken out the touch screen.

Its a resistive rather then capacitative touch screen, which means it reacts to physical pressure rather then the flux of the static field in the screen that happens when your finger touches it (like most good smartphones or tablets). The side effect of this is that pressure to the side of the frame screws up the accuracy of the panel. It also causes a noticeable haze (the glass is not 100% clear)

Hope that helped

That's why i always take my 'one to computer repair shops not acer support.

My friend's one had a broken power port, they replaced it and weeks later the power brick was fried, so we had to swap batteries...

i had to do the same thing when my dell laptop fan went bad. most pc companys have instructions on how to replace this kind of stuff on their website. be carefull, each pc is different so i recommend checking with your pc maker first. you have to search deep in their site to find it, but once you do, its step by step.

very interesting....

can you show how to do it in slow motion???
