ASUS Eee PC 1000HE Touchscreen video tutorial
March 17, 2009 at 1:42 pm
For the more adventurous modders out there, a three-part video tutorial has emerged showing how to fit a touch-panel screen to the Asus 1000HE. Of course, you could just wait for Asus’ T91 due in late May/early June but that wouldn’t be half as much fun!
The tutorial was put together using a Hoda Technology touchscreen kit, and as we’ve seen in similar guides it involves opening the netbook bezel, slotting in the resistive touch panel and connecting it up to a USB header inside. The typical connection is made using the webcam USB socket, with a second USB header for the camera to reconnect to.
You can find the Hoda Touchscreen kit on eBay for around $99 (with varying shipping costs) giving you everything from the touch panel, USB harnesses and all cabling, and even the stylus. You’ll also get three more internal USB ports for future hacks. Check out the three videos after the jump.

This guy is not even using basis static protection.
It’s obvious he has never been to an electronics or computer college of any kind!

He could be grounded using a heel strap that you can’t see…

Wow, who cares i built 2 computers without any STATIC protection and everything is fine. To ground yourself simply touch the power supply of your desktop, wow mark your a DICK.
