I'm trying to add a touch screen directly onto the logic board so in effect I will have a basic tablet-PC. The logic board is only 1/2" high except for the darn RAM sticking up and out over an inch. It's in the way of mounting the screen and It would make the entire thing thicker than I want. Hmm...maybe I could cut 1/2 of the connector off...nahh lol I'll try to see if there's a ribbon cable that will work. The pins are probably a standard distance apart. The little dip in the RAM divides the pins on each side into a group of 40 and a group of 52 (40x2+52x2=184). Maybe i can get a busted laptop logic board since it must have the flat/lying RAM connector...who knows how hard that would be to solder tho... OHH i have an idea. I need to somehow get a spare memory connector maybe mouser.com has one. Then I'll just etch a curved PCB to match the pattern and bridge the two. Yesssssssssssss! http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?handler=displayproduct&lstdispproductid=346104&e_categoryid=619&e_pcodeid=57236
