I plan to do some modifications to my EeePC, including internal flash stick, bluetooth and (maybe) a touchpanel. Since i dont like soldering on the mainboard i looked for other ways to integrate those usb gadgets.
The solution:
The webcam uses USB and I (and some others) think, that the feature of disabling it (echo 0 > /proc/acpi/asus/camera) disables the whole usb port, so this is the perfect way to disable your gadgets when you want to save some energy.
I already bought a small usb hub and the Hama Nano Bluetooth Stick, so I’m quite ready to go.
But theres one thing left, maybe someone can help me. I would like not to cut the cable to the camera, so I am looking for the same jack the camera chip has so i can solder it on the usb hub instead of that MiniUSB Port. Addiitonal i would need the same connector which is on the cable to the camera for connecting the camera back to the usb hub.
Today i opened the display chassis and made some photos of this jack (which, whats confusing me, has a 5wire jack, but just 4 (the usual usb’s) cables connected). Camera model is eMPIA 2760. There’s no datasheet for this on eMPIA’s official website.
Update: parag0n from #eeepc (freenode) says its a JST SR Jack. Even he says its a 04 i believe its a 05 since those for the camera are definitely 5wires. So the next thing is to find a reseller selling those.
Anyway, thank you for your help, maybe this informations can help others modding their EeePC
