While few netbook makers have released mini-laptops with built in touchscreens, it seems like every time a new netbook hits the market, there’s some hacker willing to rip it apart and add a touchscreen the hard way – manually. But it’s taken a while for the first Dell Inspiron Mini 9 touchscreen hack to show up, possibly because the internal USB lines are a bit difficult to decipher. Fortunately, one member of the MyDellMini forums found a solution by sacrificing one of the netbook’s external USB ports.
