Sifus,

my last question before proceding to buy Touch Screen Monitor.

at the price of the monitor, we can buy a touch screen netbook/EEE PC.
why dont we just use it?

Because you can't fit in the monitor/display to a standard 2-din size on your centre console. If your're happy to diy from an old eepc, the go ahead but you may want to use the internal from your eeepc since the display is using a propietary interface and not standard vga.

already done my research...

it seem no 7" touch screen laptop/netbook that available of fit into our dash.

emmm.... so, im made up my mind.. the industrial touch screen.

sifu steven, any pic of the item n detail?

Im sorry dude... i sold them off edi... and left 1 but ppl edi book edi

There is 1 left... actually is mine.. if u wan it pls let me know. i can sell to u first... i can wait for the next batch

So Krools, any update from you?

Anyway, I'm running Win7 on my carpc and it doesn't seem to be stable, while playing a movie, it goes BSOD .. I've no idea if this caused by the Win7 or due to the fan .. I changed the exhaust fan to lower speed one .. Need to take off the carpc from the car once again ..

Check bios setting or driver.. I used win7 in my car about a year without hang. So far listen to radio and gps no lag at all. Let me know if u having problem to solve. I would like to help

Thanks Steven .. for some reason, my itchy hands led me to Win7 .. WinXP was quite stable before .. I've updated the drivers to the latest one from Zotac website (and compared to Nvidia one), so I'm certain that mine has the latest and I'm running the 32-bit version of Win7.

One other thing, resuming from hibernate takes a quite long time compared to WinXP .. in WinXP, it takes usually less than 10s to go from hibernate to operation, but in Win7, it takes more than 40s to be useful.

And lastly, I believe I've a bit of problem with the M2-ATX too since sometime, my carpc doesn't hibernate properly and coming up after few minutes I switch off my engine. I've read about this problem on the net and I don't think am the only one that having this problem .. but I need to investigate more. Probably the cable from the ignition doesn't give 0V when I switch off the engine .. probably need to put a pull down resistor somewhere to make sure it will goes 0V when it suppose to.

How is ur car pc? Solved the problem?

Nope, haven't touch it yet .. will try to take it out from the car tomorrow.. another thing, with Win7, my touch panel seems to be connected and disconnected at it own .. didn't get this problem with WinXP.. hmm.. probably will revert back to WinXP if I am still getting problems with Win7..

Yea i think u better try on xp if problem persist then huhu need to tangkap ulat edi haha

Haha, tangkap ulat? or pijat? Anyway, the carpc is now with me in my office, and guess what .. the usbmini.sys causes all the crashes that I've experienced all this while with Win7.. using BlueScreenView, I found that this is USB HID Touchscreen driver, now I nail the BSOD problem I guess.. I need to remove and reinstall the standard driver for it.

if u wan win 7 driver special one pls pm me ur email... i email it to u!!! this driver and software solve all the problem

PMed!! I was using driver that isn't the one that come with the EBY701 .. I don't remember which one, but this one supports gesture on Win7 .. don't really need to use gesture though .. probably need to go back to the original or wait for yours .. anyway, Nvidia has just released new display driver, might as well go and update my display driver too.

So .. two things need to be tested:

1. The touchscreen driver, will install this when I put back the carpc in the car.
2. Pull-down resistor on the ignition wire, so the m2atx won't come alive when I switch off the engine ..

I know, I pump in 20db from the router .. that is why ).

Added on July 20, 2010, 8:05 amThe carpc went back to the car yesterday but I'm still getting slow resume from hibernate .. I believe the usb cable that I use to power my GPS causes this.. the GPS has no more battery in it so, I power it up using the usb and from time to time, I kept getting the notification saying the carpc found a usb device which is not recognised .. guess need to find a way to power up the GPS now.

Bro steve, what receiver did u use for ur radio?

I use directed hd radio unit from mitch

o.. good stuff =) it also picks up normal FM broadcast. Don't mind me asking, does our local radio station broadcast in HD ?
