Touchscreen Question

[Termin8tor]

Left this message on main forum but thought i'd have more luck here.
I've been thinking of building a jukebox for some time now and was looking at ELO touch screens. Mentioning this to a friend he said I could have his HP Touchsmart IQ790 as it's got a (common) video card fault. Has anyone had any experience with these, will I be able to use this screen with a different motherboard, will the touchscreen work and can I wire this up to ATX PSU. Any advice welcome.

Having looked into this a little more I've realised its was more trouble than it's worth. So I've removed the video card baked it (a friend fixes X-boxes) and applied compound seems to be running fine now. Time will tell.

Baked it?

Hmm, you think something like that work work for repairing the board on a projector?

What all is involved?

Its possible baking it might fix it. But first you would have to remove all plastic bits. You can bake it in a conventional oven though I WOULD NOT TRY THIS MYSELF. The friend who did it for me has a purpose built oven he uses for fixing X-box 360's (red lights). What it does is re-solders hairline breaks in the solder. here is a video using a conventional oven.

 baking your board isn't going to fix your issue, heat is what caused the problem in the first place. the last i heard, you needed to remove and replace the chip... not overly hard with the right tools, but definitely for the experienced.
