HP Elitebook 8570W - is it still good ? Hardware modifications
Vladka76 replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Sounds like a funeral march for all hopes... π₯ And if you replace the screen ID in the EDID firmware editor (like in "my" manual), and not via hex codes? π§- 208 replies

Vladka76 replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
What if you try to change the ID in the EDID of the new screen by inserting the ID of one of the native (stock) compatible screens? I read here that EDID is a simple EEPROM like 24C02: Illustrated manual (in Russian, I'm sorry) Perhaps this will be useful for you.- 208 replies

@GuitarG Let me clarify: what type of eDP screen? FHD or 4K? --- I am very glad that you managed to mod the cable. Excellent and important work!- 208 replies

Vladka76 replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Yes, the idea is good. Maybe it would be useful to look for hints in the ZBook 15 G1|G2 schematics - you wrote earlier that they have eDP cables and screens? π Sorry that I can't help practically yet (I don't have a test laptop with an LVDS cable, nor a working eDP screen, and I live temporarily away from home, outside my "home lab").π₯Ή Thank you. I thought so, but I was hoping for a more civilized way... Both of mine are also very strongly glued. It will be difficult.- 208 replies

I'm very sad to hear that! Maybe the problem is in using the wrong eDP port? In any case, please don't give up, but still try to find a solution - because it would give many owners of 8560/8570/8760/8770 models the opportunity to install relatively modern MXM videocards without integrated Intel graphics and Optimus technology. I have an other question, sorry. How did you disassemble the BB09 battery? So to speak, "traditionally" π - mechanically cut along the side glued seam? Or some other way? (I received two BB09 batteries - indeed, they don't take charge at all - only yellow LED flashes once while plugging the charge cable. So I need to disassemble both - and I would like to do it carefully, cause I'm a perfectionist too π). Good luck in implementing your ideas! May the Force be with you... π- 208 replies

It seems you didn't read the previous posts very carefully. π @GuitarGwrote (about modules DDR3 2133 MHz): "They are more rare than 100$ laying on ground, though. You can use cheaper 1866 mhz, those are easier to find. They work out of box." Yes, the respected TC has modules 2133 MHz, but it is much more realistic to find modules 1866 MHz (there are even new ones!). So, first, look for HyperX HX321LS11IB2/8, and then, if you donβt find anything, look for HyperX HX318LS11IB/8 (you need two or four identical modules for 16 or 32 Gb of RAM).- 208 replies

That would be great and very useful. Thanks in advance! How many pins has your 4K IPS eDP screen connector?- 208 replies

Thanks to @GuitarG and @panda_zzz - I was lucky to find and buy two identical and new (made in 2018) Kingston HyperX HX318LS11IB/8 modules for my 8770W - they Memtested and now works great on 1866MHz@CL=11. My modules are based on Kingston's chips with marking "D5128ECMDPGMC". So there was no need to buy 1600 MHz memory, IMHO.- 208 replies

Vladka76 replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
Thank you for this idea, it sounds great and relatively simple! But... does the mobo's connector for the cable to the int. screen have all the necessary pins - including eDP? And modding in this case will consist of rearranging the stock cable contacts, right? (I have 8770w and a motherboard with two memory slots) π Better buy (again) 8770w. π Yes, your future tutorial would be very useful, same as a pinout of modded ex-LVDS cable. Thank you! I'll be looking for it from time to time now. Improve your health and good luck with your improvements!- 208 replies

Vladka76 replied to GuitarG's topic in Custom Builds
You are right, but the difficulty is how to force the CPU's memory controller to use higher memory frequencies. In mobo's for desktop, there is a BIOS memory settings for this. In this case, I assume that the respected TC used 2133 MHz modules, but with reprogrammed SPD's flash IC.- 208 replies

I completely agree with the above. You, Mashcar, are truly a guru of HP graphics stations. I admit that I also follow your posts on other technical forums. I wish you could enable integrated Intel graphics and Optimus technology. After all, this will allow (if I'm not mistaken) all owners of non-DC, non-FHD screens and LVDS cables to install video cards newer than Maxwell 2.0... π Good luck in perfecting your custom coreboot! --- P.S. I would be extremely grateful if you could explain how DDR3 works at 2133 MHz on your 8570. Another mystery for me. π- 208 replies

Hello! I'm an owner of 8770w with non-DC screen and new Quadro M3000M. Do you have any experience with slice Battery repacking (elements replacing)? On the 4pda.to you wrote: "8770w battery don't have *smarts*, only need to remember to disconnect from biggest +V to lowest (battery voltage drops in increments and BQ don't destroy itself), solder new ones and charge-discharge 2 times." Thanks to your firm confidence in these words - I did repack successfully my primary original (yea!) VH08XL - but this is not enough to me. I have an idea to buy a DEAD slice battery - BB09 (QK640AA) with 9 elements (3s-3p) - and do the same. π What do you say about this? How likely is it that the words in the lot description, 'does not hold a charge', mean 'already locked BQ'? Thank you for attention.- 208 replies
