Hi,

This can be done. But I'm not saying you should. These tablets have way fewer protection than laptops. If you do something wrong you most probably end up with a broken tablet.

Also I have newer done this so I can only give you links to pinouts and such.

If you know some electronics and know you can do it you can find discussion of this from xda. I can links some posts soon.

Edit

Here's link to xda.

Just be sure you know what you're capable of. I've broken lots of stuff :D
