Upgrading Asus Eee Pc

Facilities 3G or GPS on the Eee PC? That's not all! CHIP will show how the Eee PC that minimalist function can be maximized with a variety of other functions.

* Eee PC so popular! Not infrequently you find on the Internet, users creativity in integrating devices / new functions on this netbook. CHIP will show one example, how to complete the Eee PC with a USB hub as an interface for a variety of mini USB devices available. All you need is basic knowledge of electronics and soldering experience, as well as installation of Windows XP on the Eee PC. You also need to provide a USB hub (4x) with a mini board and thin, and interfaced with a DIP switch used to turn on the USB device. DIP switch can be accessed through the slot for a memory upgrade on the Eee PC.

Hub Solution to Bring Additional Facilities at Various Eee PC
Eee PC will be fitted with various devices, such as Hama bluetooth, GPS module, and SanDisk's SDHC reader. In the market there are many available options other modules, such as UMTS / HSDPA pen drives, USB flash drive, FM radio, modem, fingerprint sensor, WLAN, sound cards, and much more.
If you are not satisfied with the performance of the Eee PC, you can still be a little "boost" the ability Celeron processor 900 with an overclocking utility "EeeCTL". Which also need to upgrade the memory capacity (to 2 GB) to run XP and bateri with a larger capacity.

Tuning Stages

1. Planning for Phase Tuning

Preparation Mods – Eee PC 701 4G can be paired with two USB hub with mini USB devices, such as the FM receiver, card reader, USB flash drive, GPS, Bluetooth, and 3G module (HSDPA). On the Internet even available a guide for installing a touchscreen display on the Eee PC.

2. Providing Tools

Tools – You need a micro solder, solder materials, desoldering pump, insulated stranded wire is very thin (

3. Removing the Keyboard

Open the case (bag. 1) – A few screws and plastic clips should be removed to open the Eee PC. Keyboard fitted with three small clips fragile (in the key F). Open her music with a small screwdriver and lift the keyboard. Remember, this action will remove your Eee PC warranty.

4. Lifting casing and Closing Screen

Open the case (bag. 2) – Remove the six screws on the underside of the Eee PC. To open the case, remove the clip (right of the screen). Simply use your fingernail (also applies to open frame display). Remove the six se – krup under cover. Open the casing on the underside with your fingernails.

Heart Eee PC – Eee PC Board only pinned to the clip. Front left and front right there is 2 clips. Arch sideways carefully and lift the mainboard on the left side of the first sound output. On the right side, the monitor output is somewhat caught in the chassis so the chasis bend slightly outward to lift the motherboard.

6. Determining the Right Place Installation

Under no place – in between the board and the chassis at some point there is enough space (yellow) to mini USB board without the USB plug. The largest space that can contain a bit thick board is under the RAM (blue). You plug a USB hub into the slot-2 (1) is not used, pin 36 (d-) and 38 (d +). 5 Volt voltage available at the right pin (2). Ground-every isolation.

7. Belt Board

So hot right now – Components of SMD (Surface mount devices) and soldered joints are relatively small and requires precision when soldering. Provide a 5 Volts voltage on each device, including a USB hub via DIP switches. Thus, you can be turned on / off any USB device to save electricity. Pin positions on every USB-port is always the same, ie pin 1: 5 Volt, pin 2: d-, pin 3: d +, and pin 4: mass (grounding).

8. Checking Modification Results

Testing – Before installing the back casing and others, do a test a variety of new devices that you install this. There is the possibility of errors sandwiched solder or wire. If the test goes well, install everything in reverse order of step 5 to step 3. Good luck!
