    Hi,

    I have (probably had :() a TX2500 Tablet, which had the classic GPU overheating defect and is not working anymore.
    I tried the mentioned on youtube several times with no luck..
    Replacing the motherboard will cost me more than the cost of a new laptop :eek:

    In fact, the only thing I needed in that tablet was the touchscreen, since it is the only tablet that is available in my territory and no independent touchscreens are sold here, so:
    All I want to do is to take out the touchscreen and use it on a Desktop Monitor (or LCD).
    How can I do that?
    I heard that the Touchscreen is USB type and I guess it will be easier to just take it off and connect it to my Desktop PC USB, but I don't know how to do that..

    So, PLEASE: How can I re-use my TX2500 Touchscreen on a Desktop Monitor??

    Thanks



    PS: Here is a picture of the 4 connections which (I guess) are the USB connections, am I right??? :confused:
