Click here for (.001" Kapton®/Polyimide w/ Silicone) I prefer to use doublestick tape so that it can be removed if needed but still has a great holding power: This is the tape I used between the palm rest and the circuit board for its properties with electronics, its thin, and has good holding and heat properties. There are a few things that can be done to hold the scanner in place. Something that can be done to help stop this is to add a piece of masking tape just at the edge of where you want the edge of the bevel to meet the top as seen in the last photo When i did this the file came off a couple times and scratched the top. The last step is to add a bevel to the top of the palm rest so that your finger can dip down and make easier contact to the reader bar. I kept checking the fit of the scanner every few minutes This should take longer that 30 minutes as to not take off too much. Now take a small flat file and start making the rectangle shape to fit the scanner's pickup. Once you have the holes drilled it will look like the fourth photo. The hardest part of this is making sure the holes are in the center of the scanner bar. I used the drill bit in my fingers to i would not risk breaking the plastic and could feel it if bound up so I knew to stop. Drill three small holes using a sharp drill bit and going slowly. Once you have the location of the board it is very important to start slowly. As you can see it is a perfect fit between the bottom lip and the top lip, like it was meant to be there. In the third photo I laid out the bluetooth and scanner to see a final fit before drilling through the case. Once you have ground it down it should look like the second photo
To get through the inserts (metal bits for the screws) I ground a slot right thought the middle of the post so i can pull out the metal insert easily Using a Dremel with a cut-off wheel, SLOWLY grind away the posts until it is flat with the palm rest. I did remove some foil in the area from the start because i knew it would cause problems with the circuit card if left there. The first photo shows the underside of the palm rest before grinding away the plastic posts. I finally decided to place it under the right side palm rest as the only thing under it is the bluetooth receiver, and that is small enough to move.

This is where you will need lots of patience so you don't screw it up.Īfter disassembling the case per the MFG manuals I was looking where to place the scanner. If you are ready to tackle this fun project let begin! This has been seen on many other sites, doing a search on google for "dell mini-9 fingerprint scanner" brings up on lots of tech pages. This is my mod, I orginally posted it to the my dell mini forums and thought it would be good to have it here for more people to see and get ideas for their own. LOTS OF PATIENCE as you will be ding some small soldering and drilling and filing away plastic from the palm rest and this can not be undone once it has been started. With this information I decided I had enough to tackle the project.įor this project you will need to have good soldering skills as there are some small points to solder to.ĭell Mini-9 (or any laptop worthy of modifying) USB Fingerprint scanner USB hub which you will dismantle as well Double sided.

The users of were instrumental in the initial setup as one of the user found out where and how to add internal usb solder points. This got me thinking, could I add a fingerprint scanner into it.

I had a Dell Mini-9 that i installed Mac OS X onto and in the process saw other users adding an internal GPS receiver.
