Has anyone tried this? I would be *very* interested in grabbing one of these if it works well enough.

Anyone know where to get Vista drivers for this? I contacted the eBay seller and they informed me Vista drivers are not included.

In my opinion, Aspire One not designed for Vista :D

I have this upgrade and it is very worth it in my opinion. the CD cam with MANY drivers, including vista, xp, 2000, NT4, ME, 98, 95, winCE 5/6, Linux, and Mac!

Vista driver is supported by the kit.

Mine just arrived for trial install over thanksgiving break. I am also putting in a Toshiba MK8025GAL (80gig, 8meg buffer). I’ll post about it when im done

Hey, I installed this..amateur user and probably shouldn’t. There is something wrong with the USB now..since both the touch screen and the web cam are not recognized. I opened it up again, and found the black wire that crosses behind the screen and goes to the kit’s USB Controller – oops..it broke. My roommate soldered it back together, put the whole thing together again, and still nothing. Any ideas?

how much would someone want me to pay them if i buy a acer aspire one with the touch screen already installed?

I have the same problem as JayinStoon, when the “Touch Screen Panel” is connected to the
Touch Screen Controller Board alone, it works properly. See picture
“Touch Screen found.jpg” But connected at the same time with the
Camera module, the touch screen and the web cam are not recognized.
What could be the problem? Please help….!!!
