Hi there!!!:
Nice tutorial.
How long it takes to do the whole replacement?
Do have any idea if this would work for an Acer Aspire D250 (larger screen)?
Thank and kudos!!!

I have an Acer Aspire One and I’m interested in doing this. I have Windows 7 OS now and I would like to know if this would support the multi-touch characteristic of Windows 7 (I would also like to know, do I have to install a different version of Windows 7 to use it with touch screen?). One more thing: I’m from Europe and the power voltage here is 220V. Would that make any difference in using the touch kit? I would appreciate if you could answer all of this. Thank you in advance. Many Regards, Michelangelo.

I ordered my TouchPanel at fidoHub – a distributor who comes from Taiwan. I payed with PayPal and got my package after 4 days only (shipping to europe). Sorry for my english.

@Robert: I haven’t tried Linux, but I know the kit came with Linux drivers – so I’m thinking yes. My model is the AOA150-1068.

@lx: I didn’t notice a significant change in charge time after installing the touch panel, though I rarely run it completely out. Fully charged, I usually get around 6 hours with casual use. This goes down if I play video or am multitasking a lot.

@lance: I purchased it from a seller on ebay called ‘fidohub’. They don’t appear to be on there anymore – but I’ve seen the same kit sold by other sellers. They’ll list which models are compatible, but yours would be

@Mark I: Thanks for sharing your experience and the additional info. I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you.

Hi,
nice Tutorial. Now I’m very interested in modding my own AAO 150X.
But i have a quaestion. After you had install the TouchPanel, did you notice any reducing of power runtime ?

Hello again.. I ended up buying a kit on ebay for around $100 + shipping after my post, so here are my comments on trying to install it only my Acer D250 netbook:

-as everything Brandon pointed out, you CAN put the controller board where the 3G adapter would have gone (bottom left)

-because it’s not in the same place, you will need to buy longer cables

-i couldn’t find these cables at any local electronics or hardware store (including Fry’s)… you will probably need to know how to extend wires yourself and/or solder

one thing he didn’t point out:
-the cable plug ends are slightly different size and don’t fit–you will probably have to solder them together

I bought this specifically because it was “solderless” and because I thought I could somehow make it work on the D250 despite the lack of guides/youtube videos. If anyone with an Acer D150 (or a D250 if you’ve got skill) wants to buy it, I’m selling my 10.1″ kit cheaper than ebay!!!
