Laptop Screen Upgrades

I cannot access the LCD PCB without tearing the protective plastic of the LCD:


Technical specs: https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf/909070/LG/LP171WU6-TLA2/1

Alright here is the whole set:
The connector of the new display:

Head for connecting with the new display of the adapter cable:

Backlit connectors of the adapter cable:

Where the current display cable should be placed in the adapter cable:

Some comments were written on the adapter cable:

Head of the adapter cable that should enter the new display:

This is the backlit cable that comes from the laptop and enters the inverter:

Exit cable from the inverter (I think):

Current display cable into the adapter, perfect fit:


Other pictures:





To conclude:
1. The head of the adapter cable is too big for the new laptop display. As you said, I need one with a smaller pitch or a pitch adapter.
I need a solution here, because I don't know what to search for exactly.
2. None of the input headers on the adapter cable matches the backlit cable of my Clevo.
Maybe I need a different adapter cable or a backlit adapter. Again, I have no idea what I should be searching for.

Other thoughts:
The LP171WU6 is much thinner than the current display.
The PCB of the LP171WU6 does not fit into the current frame of the display unless I tuck it under the display. Given that the display is much thinner, I think this is a reasonable solution.

Anything else you might need?

 

Any update for the Lenovo Y530 thin bezel screen? Mine is 60Hz IPS with 60% sRGB. I'm looking for a better screen.

 

Yes, but they seem to have disappeared from the market. Not a lot of demand for CCFL conversions anymore, I suppose. I'll try to find a different adapter in the weekend.

You'd think with 9 different inverter sockets one of them would be compatible. The schematics of the M570TU shows it's using a standard 6-pin connector at the motherboard end (which would be supported), but your cable at the inverter end winds up as a 12-pin with 6 of them empty/dummies. This isn't much of a problem; if you can find one cable+connector that will fit any of the adapter's then you could solder the corresponding wires to one another and it'd be fine. Could also do that for you, if you like; have plenty of spare cables and this isn't very difficult to solder.

Bit of felt or double-sided tape would be good.

Yes, the flat-ribbon cable from the pcb to the panel is flexible by design, so that's no problem. Just tape it over to prevent any of its exposed contacts shorting if it happens to contact the metallic frame around the edge.

No, the information provided by the pictures is perfect. We now know exactly what type of adapter to look for, just a matter of finding one.

 

You are amazing.
Unfortunately, I don't have a spare cable/header to try and makeshift an adapter. I could try and find someone else to do it, but I would need to provide them with the schematics on how to do it and what header I would need at what end. You seem a lot more knowledgebale about this things, so if you could do it, that would be amazing. I will donate to such a cause!
I am not worried about fitting the LCD inside the laptop, I fairly certain I will be able to do it, that's the least of my concerns. First I want to see it power up and display its beautiful image and colours — one step at a time.

 

Couldn't find any of these adapters anymore (all ' non-available'), nor a PnP 0.4mm 40-pin converter with a 12 pin inverter input.

It doesn't matter; we can diy the current adapter into a compatible model. Just need a standard 2-channel, 40-pin, 0.4mm pitch LVDS cable:

• I-PEX 20523/20525-40P 0.4mm pitch 40 pin LCD LVDS EDP screen cable to DuPont
• Notebook LCD screen I-PEX 20472 20474 40P 0.4mm 2ch 6bit LVDS cable display

If you ship the adapter and the 0.4mm cable to me then I'll turn it into a customised model. Found a 12-pin socket and a standard 6-pin connector in the recycle stash, so could use those for a simple adapter that matches the M570TU's inverter cable. Since you'll probably want to keep using it with the old panel I'll need a bit more information about its pin-out. Send me a pm and we'll get started.

 

Awsome! Will contact you via PM.

 

If I have this panel: http://www.panelook.com/N140HCA-EAB_Innolux_14_LCM_overview_30063.html

What is the best panel I can replace it with, with a focus on Brightness and Color Accuracy. Would also be nice if the response times were better

 

If i remember correctly @genexis_x did an upgrade of that panel.

 

My Prostar P170sm with a 970m suffered some pressure damage parts and I now have discolored spots while still usable is there a better screen (color accuracy, contrast etc) that I can i use? Hwinfo64 list ias chi mei unknown model: cmn1735
Monitor name 173hge dell p/n 29jpy
6 bits eww
Displayport

 

I didn't upgrade the panel. It's a LG 144Hz IPS that comes out of the box.

 

@Casowen discovered a new 15.6" 144hz panel with a 30pins port
NV156FHM-N4B
http://www.panelook.com/NV156FHM-N4B_BOE_15.6_LCM_overview_34862.html

 

It could be a Innolux N173HGE-E11

Hi, I would like to upgrade my actual screen (B156HAN01.1) which is a 15.6" 1080p 2 lanes eDP 30pins 300cd/m² 3.3v 6bits with 72% of color gamut and 700:1 contrast, so I would like to have a good 1800p or 2160p with a better color gamut, better contrast, at least 300cd/m² and maybe 8 or 10 bits color ?, and if it's not possible with 2 lane, I would like a 1080p screen with the same expectation listed beforce, my laptop is a Precision 3510, what could I buy ?
I wanted to change my laptop but I don't have enough money and the one I got is alright for me so I just wanted to upgrade it and feel something "new" for me
Thanks a lot

 

I replaced the 60hz display in y Acer Nitro 5 w/ Innolux N156HHE-GA1 and it gives em eye strain, what should I replace I with?
What is a good panel that works in my Acer Nitro 5(with the brightness levels keys functioning). I read my current panel(Innolux N156HHE-GA1) is fantastic for gaming due to the low ms and high refresh rate (120hz) but it is a TN panel and not an IPS and its a bit hard on the eyes. I wanted something easier on my eyes and for whatever reason TN panels in the past and the case now have sometimes given me eye strain. I do have blue light filters and color profiles to limit the PWM and blue light so i know its not the root source of my eye strain in think its because its a TN panel. Please suggest me a good display panel(120hz preferably but a solid 60hz would do). A display panel with good brightness, good deep colors, and also preferably below 5ms because I play allot of games on low and high fps. Please feel free to suggest me a display and thank you, I plan on ordering it soon as the eye strain my current display is giving me is getting to me enough for me to make this post here on reddit. Thanks again, any help and I'd be grateful

 

It now comes down to BOE NV156FHM-N4B vs AUO B156HAN04.5 for my acer nitro 5....hmmmm The Boe has 5s better response time

 

Is g-sync in laptops some kind of additional chip on the gpu? Can I buy any display with good connectors and it will work with the g-sync?

When I check displays in g-sync enabled models they seem to be regular displays. I also cant find adaptive sync section in specs when browsing panels at panelook.com

 

Nope, it's something like a license charged on the gpu chip by Nvidia.

No g-sync license enabled on the chip---> no g-sync also with a g-sync panel

 

Ok but If I have g-sync enabled on the chip and buy different panel than the original will g-sync work with it?

 

It should work in that case.

 

So there is no such thing as g-sync panel in laptops?

 

Hmmmm, I might need figure out if one of these will be an upgrade for my gl62... didnt even dawn on me to see if i could source a better screen till i saw this thread

 

There are lots of g-sync certified panels, but you need also a g-sync license on your chip.

 

I am just waiting for someone to make a crack for that.

 

I have no idea if a crack for that is possble.

 

There is a new 15.6" 240Hz panel http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/well-its-here-the-240hz-panel-the-sharp-lq156m1jw03.827793/

Sharp LQ156M1JW03 http://www.panelook.com/LQ156M1JW03_SHARP_15.6_LCM_overview_37935.html

 

Not related, but do you know if you can run 144hz on a 4k panel when you lower the resolution? I am not sure if anyone has tried that yet, and I would go for a 4k panel that would do that.

Theres a new review of the Boe-N4B: http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...inding-the-the-boe-nv156fhm-n4b.827021/page-3

 

I'm not sure. @t456

 

Hello guys !

Today i have an old MSI GT72 2QE with this panel : LP173WF4-SPF1 75HZ

I already upgrade the GTX 980M to the GTX 1070, and now, i want to upgrade the display.

With this thread, i saw this panel : N173HHE-G32 120hz.

But i need a 40 pins connector, right ?

Can you tell me where can i buy this ? I can't find it...

Thanks !

Edit : @ sicily428 Hey man, did you use this stuff : https://www.waresphere.com/store/lcd-lvds-cable-4k-msi-1781-k1n-3040052-h39.html

 

Yes, provided there's no (Intel) drivers that prevent you from runnning these settings and assuming that those lower resolutions are natively possible with the screen. The limiting factor is the pixel clock (in MHz), so the number of pixels it can draw per second, and with a 4k@60 Hz you have ample room in that regard:

Code:

format··x·····y·····hz···clock·
3k······2560··1440··144··604.25
4k······3840··2160··.60··533.25
3k······2560··1440··120··497.75
fhd·····1920··1080··144··346.50
3k······2560··1440··.60··241.50
fhd·····1920··1080··.60··138.50

Those values assume CVT and reduced blanking for the calculation method, this is the most common type for modern panels.

 

Do you by chance have a 4k panel? I am just wanting to see if this works.

 

Not atm, but have one on the way. It is only 2160p@60Hz natively, but I'll try and see whether something like 1440p@120Hz doesn't suffer too much from the down-sampling. It shouldn't have any issues running those values though.

 

Just for kicks, I set my 1080p panel to 960.540 to see if I could go past 150hz, and I couldnt. So I hope you have better luck.

 

Hi I'm getting a new laptop its. Sager p970 ef

It has this panel
BOE NV173FHM-N44

http://www.panelook.com/NV173FHM-N44_BOE_17.3_LCM_overview_36366.html

So I'm a newbie doing research. Does it follow that it has a 4 lane edp cable and would not need a cable upgrade to do a sharp izgo screen

I am rhinking of this screen which is in some clevos also

But how can I tell if the connecters are on the same side and what other problems could there be


Thanks so much

http://www.panelook.com/LQ173D1JW31_SHARP_17.3_LCM_overview_35471.html

Is there a better panel to shop for?

Like sharp has one with 400 nits will that work

Where can I tell if the connector is on the same side?


I'm considering a qhd 144hz sxreen again would it lilelt work with rhe cable present?

 

I see now that I'm looking for. Bios whitelist to be ables to use the screen with Windows

How can I see the models it allows?

 

VVX17P051J00

In related news
This Panasonic panel from the thinkpad p71
Is not on panellook but it is available

How can I tell if its connector is in thebsame place as the screen in my laptop and also if its thin

It's apparently the best screen available but its also only in that model so im worried it might not be switchable is that possible

If it is I think the sharp izgo is the way to go. The nore i read about it the nore I think clevo does not use a whitelist at all and clevos have in the past been sold with that screen

I think I need a cable

 

What are you trying to do exactly? There isnt anything special about the first panel other then Contrast ratio. You should look for an IPS that goes up to 144hz, as even casual usage of that is much better then the 60hz one you posted, unless you specifically want 4k.

 

Precision M6700 works with a Samsung LTN1703HT02 (3D 1080p @ 120Hz) with no known issues, I'm pretty sure it came with this screen from the factory though, but if it didn't it seems to work fine but I've only tested a K3000M.

 

Opened my T450s and turned on to reveal a broken screen. I checked Lenovo parts and an OEM replacement AUO FHD IPS is $353. If I downgrade to the LGD FHD IPS it is $191.01. $353 if crazy.

I see that I could possibly go with a generic B140HAN01.3 for around $65. Anyone do a repair recent enough to give a suggestion on something of quality? I realize the brightness controls will be lost if I go non OEM Lenovo parts.

 

Hi, is a touchscren display come with the touchscreen embedded (like no "glass panel" that the brand glue on the display assembly) ?
If so, does the signal pass trough the eDP cable ?
Also if I have a 4 lanes eDP 1.2/1.2a, I am able to have a 3840x2160 60hz display ? according to wikipedia, 4 lanes eDP 1.2 got 21.60 Gbit/s of bandwidth while a 3840x2160 60hz display would need a link of 14.93 Gbit/s of data bandwidth for 8 bit color and 17.92 Gbit/s for 10 bit color.
Do someone know any good (or less than 200 bucks) 17.3" 4k 60hz display that have a very good color accurency and gammut and which is IPS ? it seems like there is no many choice according to panelook (does they list all the existing lcd ?)
Thanks a lot

 

Does anyone know if HP whitelists their panels?

I'm trying to upgrade a HP Zbook 15 G2 from the 3200x1800 (QHD+) panel I have to a full 4k panel. I get backlight but no picture.

Original panel model is the LQ156Z1JW03B, and I ordered a LQ156D1JW02 and tried it. I get backlight but no display. The computer still functions with the panel in as I've tried it with another monitor hook up via displayport as well.

I'm wondering if I should try the LQ156D1JW0 6 instead?

Thanks for your help!

 

I've checked that, and because the laptop came with the QHD panel it has the right 40 pin cable already.

 

Anyone know if a AW 17 R1 with a 40pin eDP connector can take a 4K or 1440P panel? Mine already has a 120HZ 3D panel in it atm.

 

Is anyone aware of what panel is in the 4k oled Razer 15 blade?

 

Hi there,
The gigabyte aero 15-X9 let us choose between a FHD 144hz (LG LP156WFG-SPF2) panel and a 4K 60hz (AUO B156ZAN03.1) with a wider gamut which is ranked #1 display panel on notebookcheck, which I would be looking for for photo editing.

Lets say I have the FHD 144Hz panel one.
Could we assume we could switch it with the AUO 4K panel without issues (brightness control or compatibility)?

If so, pushing it further ... if I don't want to pay the premium from gigabyte brand and package, I see Lenovo uses the same FHD LG display 144hz panel in their Legion laptop line up that start under 1K$.
Can I assume the same if we try to switch the panel with the 4K one ?

As edp pin layout should be the same with the first assumption (I have been searching for datasheets and could only find the AUO one, luckily maybe the Aero uses both panel) the only caveat would be the whitelist thing I guess ? Could there be issue with the display driver on the motherboard or else ?

Hi, I want some help with upgrading my GT72's screen. I would be very glad if you could reply. Thanks.

 

Hi, whats your doubt?

The first N173HHE that I bought was a knock-off, after sourcing a real N173HHE brightness works just like the factory display.

 

Thanks a lot for replying! So, I have a GT72 (well it's actually not sold by MSI but it has the same motherboard and case), and I purchased an nv173fhm-n44 panel and a K1N-3040052-H39 (4K) cable. But the new panel won't turn on when I plug it in instead of the old panel.

Also there's one more thing which is that the seller of the panel sent me a b173han04.5 instead of a nv173fhm-n44, stating that it has the same specs. I don't know whether to trust them.
