Greetings to all!
I recently acquired a Advantech PPC-103T Touchscreen Kiosk PC from a major food company, and I thought it could be used in a kiosk i'm looking to build for my company.
Unfortunately, the computer is just too slow. It's got a Pentium 3 800mhz processor, and 256mb of SODIMM RAM - full details are here: http://www.ucs.co.uk/index.php?pid=1410
Because of this reason, i'm looking to extract the touchscreen monitor out of the PC, and then wire it up to a PC i've built myself. When I took the case off, I was hoping for just one or two wires, which just plug into the motherboard, but it seems that isn't the case....
This is the main PC itself - www.webservuk.com/touchscreen/1.jpg
Turning the case around and seperating the touch screen from the monitor - www.webservuk.com/touchscreen/2.jpg
The cable which joins the touchscreen to the main PC is shown here. That thick black wire comes from the touchscreen and into the board located top left of the photo, just behind the hard drive. www.webservuk.com/touchscreen/3.jpg
This board is then connected to the motherboard by a series of coloured cables. www.webservuk.com/touchscreen/4.jpg
So that seems to be how to the touchscreen is wired up, but then there's the actual monitor...
The monitor has a pink and white wire coming out of it, connected into this narrow board labelled 'high voltage', and then connects into motherboard via a series of coloured cables. www.webservuk.com/touchscreen/6.jpg (the yellow and blue cables)
The monitor also has a lot of small coloured wires coming out of it, which go into another board, which then plugs into the motherboard. www.webservuk.com/touchscreen/7.jpg
Does anyone have any ideas? Any advice etc on what to do next would be appreciated!
