M6800 Owners' Thread

huh, in other thread some prefer the chimei over LG IPS. The edp is compatible with LG IPS, but the mount and size may be difference. If you have that chimei, I think you have the new edp batch (check your part number with your server tag) , so you can't swap to a LVDS panel (the AUO).

Thanks for the reply - I had m6700 and its IPS screen had eDP, but my new M6800 has LVDS. Will check out your link.

 

Interesting toy for thought:

M6800 has room to stick something like that inside.

A chinese re-seller say that m6800 with that chimei panel supposedly have edp motherboard.

 

Is there any way to check it without opening the laptop?

 

Actually... http://www.panelook.com/N173HGE-E11_Innolux_17.3_LCM_overview_20840.html
Looks it might be true, and, in fact it would be 2-lane eDP panel.
If, and only if, it is true - the cable is already there and it would take installing new inverter, panel and cables in-between?

 

you can find the part numbers with descriptions using the service tag, which should also be on your receipt/order. it should have the keyword edp for the motherboard and panel.

 

CF0TC 1 ASSEMBLY, BASE (ASSEMBLY OR GROUP), NOTEBOOK, GRAY, USH, EDP, D17
VVHJD 1 ASSEMBLY, COVER, HD+/FHD+NWIGI, EDP, D17
29JPY 1 LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY, 17.3FHD, WLED, EDP1.2, AG, INX

I.e. contrary to pics of MB I found, where eDP is simply not soldered on and only LVDS is present.

 

What I'm trying to figure out: if I have eDP, then I should be able to use interposer + RGB panel, unless there is no way to get it mechanically in or bios denies it. Screen cover for 6700 with two cables isn't that expensive, as the interposer itself.
