Disconnect miniview XPS 420

[RVN]

I'm waiting for my XPS 420 to ship. I want to disconnect miniview when I get it. I understand it can be turned off in the bios but I'm interested in completely removing it.

How is this connected to the motherboard? How can I disconnect it?

Why would you want to do that?

I simply don't like it and I don't want it. It uses power albeit a small amount. It looks silly and will provide little function (solitaire, which I remove anyway) when I remove Vista.

It's sucessor the XPS 430 eschews it. I could not get the 30% off coupon and the savings on the 430, so I bought the 420 which has it.

I couldn't find anything under Dell's online manuals. Probably connects to the front IO board.
