Another caution. Even thought the MB is the same model,that does not indicate they infact have idenitical connectors. Ie I have a Tosibia laptop that has compartment for daul HDDs. Only problem is that they did not put a connector on the MB for the 2nd HDD - The Pin out is on the MB and I could probably solder a Header onto it.
In your case, They may have two different connectors for the MB, One for the NON-touche screen and one for the Touch screen (w/increased connectivity).
The only way you will resolve this is if you can 1) find somene that has moded theirs, or 2) Get Asus to state yes, or NO (and That may be hard to do, call in and chat people do NOT have that level of Knowledge.
