WOW! That's awesome - can you tell us which model touch screen kit you bought?
and here: http://www.digitalww.com/store/proddetail.asp?prod=TS7K
Woow!!
How do you put this touchscreen in the Eee ? Is it complicated ?
If you have a method, I take it ! :D
I just added the touch pnel between the screen and the housing..
check these pix: http://www.digitalww.com/store/proddetail.asp?prod=TS7K
then connected wires to small ( like 6 cm x 2 cm ) usb controller and soldered wires to mainboard usb pins: http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2007/11/20/modding-the-asus-701-eee/
Hi!
What an amazing mod! Did you use a 4-wire kit or a 5-wire kit? - Which one is easier to install?
Regards from Austria
mine is 4 wire..
.. there is no difference on installation.
5 wire touch have been said to be better/more accure but i really havent seen any difference..
plz post a how to...!!!would be a nice gift for christmas :-)
Is that XP with Vista Inspirat or some other sort of Vista theme? That is an awesome mod, So after we plug everything the 4 wires that are in the usb controller has to be sodered on according to the link you gave us?
That theme is Zune theme: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75078
Yep, u just solder 4 usb cables to right places..
How feasible would it be to mod the screen to swivel, to where you could fold it with the screen up?
All of the touch screen kits I have seen so far to include the ones you link to are either 800x600 or 640x480. What resolution do you have it running at for it to work?
It would need too much to make it convertible..
.. if you are looking same size convertible umpc you should check
Kohjinsha ( starting at $799 SA version )
or
U810 ( starting at $899 )
U can see all umpcs at my UMPC Browser on the side bar..
Jim Link: u need just the panel and the controller.. it doesn't care your resolution.
U can calibrate it to any resolution.
SUPER AWESOME!!!! maybe a nice how-to? =) btw JKK how much power does the touchscreen draw? have u noticed a considerable shortage in battery life? thanks awesome hack!!!
neat, neat, neat, vunderbar.. good going, thanks for showing and sharing.... someone owes you big time... enjoy the holidays JKK.. and i will watch for your add 'ons .. PS .. of course i am going to do this... put me on your mailing list GerwingR@hotmail.com...
Vancouver Metro BC . CA .. cheers
jkk, i really would like to commend you for your creativity. I am blown away at your mod..EEE mod of the year for sure. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. Please post a how-to guide so the rest of the eee community can benefit from your creativity.
Step by step how-to PLEASE!!! I'm a software guy, NOT hardware... any tips/tricks/etc you could give in a how-to would be much appreciated!
WoW! Before this I was thinking of buying an eee but now mine is on the way. Thanks to JKK! Great Work!
JKK, If you could kindly post a short How-to and give us exact instructions. It would be wonderful! The resources you have provided are very useful but those who are not very hardware saavy like myself would greatly appreciate a short tutorial about the exact location of the wire soldering on the motherboard etc.
Oh man, since I saw this video I've wanted this sooooo bad.
I don't suppose you do any custom orders huh? :D
Incredible! Could you pleeeeeaaaaaase publish a "how-to" :-) This would be like Christmas
Greetings from Germany
Another plea for a HowTo please? (from someone who is admittedly only vague aware of which end of a soldering iron gets hot).
Really nice mod. I'd be really interested in a How2.
Great mod
How-to is coming soon.
Please gimme some time as i have to take it to parts for photos..
.. and i really would like to use it a bit too ;)
will this work with linux?
http://www.digitalww.com/profiles/image_original.asp?src=/store/prodimages/CD_drivers.gif%20&pid=
Will work with linux ;D
Awesome mod x)

i want this mod badly
i'm in for the how-to...
Thats very impressive mate :). I was thinking about the same mod myself, sourcing the correct LCD has proven a pain. Did you find yourself doing any heavy mods to the screen - I want to avoid the old dremel if i can help it
WOW amazing mod! Can't wait for the how to, could you post the make and model of the touch screen or a direct link to a page where I can buy it?
great mod, weve started a page for this topic here:
http://www.mahalo.com/Asus_Eee_PC_Touchscreen
How-to video and pictures should be ready tomorrow...
Sorry for the delay.
A very nice hack!
If you could post an how-to that would be downright AWESOME!!
sorry martin but didn't you read he's going to get a how-to tomorrow...?
Excellent Job. Are you still able to use your mouse with this addition?
Excellent Job. Waiting for your HOW-TO
Great job jkk, love the site btw. Just a quick question. How good is the touch screen for drawing with? I'm not expecting it to be up there with a wacom but could you use it to draw somethin with? Keep up the good work.
Cool Mod. With no camera in "surf" models then you should maybe have a power supply and a USB connection that are not used because in the Surf there is no Camera. Have you tried this?
A 2G Surf with touch screen, more RAM, and extra SSD Flash drive for gOS added (all mods)... keeping the original Flash in a dual boot for the Xandros install (if desired to keep it)?
Question: Does touch screen use more power (not much to the EeePC left to spare)? So - otherwise, you know if the battery pack for the Eee PC can be modified to accept 15 minute rechargable AA batteries system that can even be rechared in a car (and if can use in Eee PC somehow, then best with an easy to remove and install fresh ones method)? That would be heaven, and I would then get one, as the only stop is travel, or school with Eee PC, and having only a couple of hours battery (when you need it to be up most of the day)?
I think this touchscreen is "a replacement 7" screen", not an overlay over the Asus's screen.
Why?
Have you noticed that you can see the face and the hands of the guy in the screen?
As far as I know, the EeePC's screen is not as reflective.
Definitively, the mistery is that this guy has replaced the Asus's LCD by a touchscreen one.
BLOG: http://asuse3.blogspot.com
I was wrong. It is really an overlay, not a new screen. I'm sorry
Hi JKK :)...
I'm trying to find some information out, why did you choose not to draw power from the webcam USB port?
heres for ppl in uk....
http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11273
cost under 26 pound not including postage
Try the drivers at http://210.64.17.162/web20/eg/drivers.htm
what is the difference between the 4 pin and 5 pin kit? which is more compatible?
Above link to linitx is out of stock until end of Feb :(
Farnell have some in stock (just ordered) but more expensive.

Sorry, wont let me insert full link,

farnell.co.uk
maybe is a silly question... but where should I solder the ground wire to?
thanks
I soldered the ground wire to usb connectors ground..
.. there is plenty of grounded places to solder there
theck the pictures from my how-to post at :http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-add-touch-panel-to-asus-eee-pc.html
JJK, I am from Australia. Thanks very much for sharing the how-to. It is great to see someone like you who are willing to share.
Thanks again.
Hi,I use a touch screen for work. They a thing to have at first but after a while it wears off and isn't any better. Graham - www.logo-n-stitch.co.uk

Ships worldwide.
I have been planning to buy an eeepc. Now I am totally into it. JKK... If you are publishing a how-to, please include me in your mailing list (ajayaseelan@gmail.com). BTW the 2G version would be the most affordable version to try out this hack right?
Does somebody know if you could remove the prozessor in the asus eee?
If you could you could easily build another prozessor in!
nope, you can't remove the cpu, it is soldered.
Hi i order a eeepc 4g surf i want to know if i can use the webcam usb conector (webcam not include) to do this mod and where i can buy the conector and the orden of the pins
thank's
Got nothing to say about your Asus Eee Pc with touch screen, you really got a nice informative blog. Would you mind if i ask you for a link exchange? Regards...
Thanks a lot for sharing. I'll try to do the same :)
wow, gret touch screen model..I wonder if I had one? but it's really expensive to me...
Do you think 'http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11273'
would work?
Gatoelho, it looks ok to me..
That's the very same screen i used on LinITx... Search the eee forums with my forum post

Really nice website.
Could you tell me is that possible to make the eeepc 1000h as a touch screen laptop. bcos i cant find any 10" screen kit. only 10.4" available on digitalww.com
Kiitos sulle täst sivustostas. aivan mahtava.
How feasible is this for a 901?
Can it be done on bigger screens, like 15.4" ?
Oskars, yes if you find a right sized panel
Hi there - your site is amazing!
I am so impressed with the touch screen and wish I could buy it ready installed. I have seen the fido dido version on ebay and your translated instructions for the 'easy to touch'. This looks easy enough for a complete novice like me to attempt but I was wondering if the web cam is lost with this kit too
many thanks Lisa
Hello! I just bought my eee pc 901, and i'd really like to make it work with a touch screen, my question is: is it possible to make it withought soldering?

Hello JKK and others, using your advices I've transformed a 700 EEEPC to tablet, making a hole in the top case. At first try I had a soldering controler for the touch screen but a bad solder blew out the motherboard. As I had a second EEEPC I bought a solderless touch screen to fit on the webcam port. Unfortunately it's not working even after enabling the cam port in the bios. Does anyone have an idea? Thanks for help.
Hello JKK,
Apologies if you have received this request before (which I'm sure you have)
For those of us who are not confident or skilled with DIY "how to's" do you for a fee, do these touch screen converstions for others??
Hey JKK,
maybe u can help me a little bit.
i already installed a touchkit in my eee 1000h, works fine.
but windows 7 recognize it as mouse and blocks most of the touchscreen-abilitys of windows.
any ideas to chace the driver for windows 7?
I love the new asus EEE cheap netbook =P Very good price and it plays my MMORPG games very well.
So small, Nice!
Hahah great deal i will think it thought
nice i think i will buy it
Touch Screen is become very popular makes me feel are becoming lazier with time?We even relent to do some clicks?
JKK This is a great site.
Keep up the fine hacks.
Just have one question. Is this also possible on eee pc 1005HA-H?
Can this be done to Asus EEE PC 1005HA, too?
I think the touch screen on this looks amazing..wonder how the performance would hold up for more of the higher end video games though.
Awesome, might have to give it a go. But I am scared I would break my pc, i'm not sure I'd do it well... Oh well you never know until you try.
Love the video, i personally have an dell mini 10v . which i like.
Is that XP with Vista Inspirat or some other sort of Vista theme? That is an awesome mod, So after we plug everything the 4 wires that are in the usb controller has to be sodered on according to the link you gave us?
