    No problem @Vladka76 happy to be wrong 😉 just enquiring if that option had been investigated. Thanks @JadeRover that was kinda where my head was at with using standardized units for Display then we remove the intermediate board (which seems to be very difficult to obtain) 4K screen would be lovely but may overtax the HW in our 8570w's as previously called out. Would deffo buy the cable once we manage to get them built. Yeah never got a response from Devilangel on my query, he did an awesome build, TaoBao was a nightmare to navigate.

    Going on @Vladka76 view of using the Clevo Cable +HP DC + etc etc. And please correct me if im wrong, I assume standard 30pin layout, data pins etc. So no "magic" happens at the display panel as e.g LG panel exists in Dell, Clevo, etc there should be standardised (except for mounting points) the only change would be the DC board doing the converting. could we not use a "other" brand solution? one thats more available than the "unobtainium" DC board? probably overthinking it here. I agree with the view of no need for 4K screen etc, but does that simplify it?

    I tried navigating taobao for that cable too, it was a challenge. Interesting details @Vladka76 shows the laptop manufacturers lean to use universal display components (which is to our benefit) as @GuitarG says it’s just the HP end of the cable that’s the challenge. if I read that right we could possibly put a G6 screen into the 8570?
  4. Daedalus
    That’s a valid question, not sure without researching pinout. Maybe something guitarg could confirm. its worth a try though as it might open options. However a dell screen might be a pain to fit to Hp hardware
  5. Daedalus
    Yeah I saw that reading thru the other post, it makes sense now. would that negate the need for the dream colour board? Therefore a normal IPS screen maybe possible? I can find these cables but the board is unobtainable

    If i recall correctly, HP elitebooks dont have the traces in CPU socket to run iGPU (intelHD) so its MXM or Bust....... which does suck. i think the newer 840's have it, but the 8570W doesnt.
  7. Daedalus
    Nice find. Most of this forum will have a bidding war lol. Good to see they exist, I was trying to find one for my upgrade. I’d seen an IPS screen too but wasn’t sure if even this cable would work with it. Doesn’t this need an additional DC inverter board too? However as you say @Vladka76 it won’t help us run the newest cards. I think RTX 5000 is the super best we can try with Dc.
  8. Daedalus
    Cool will reach out to you via PM. has anyone found any links/suppliers for the cable to allow the Dreamcolour IPS screens to work with the mobo? I know guitarg was working on one.

    Nice work. Doing similar fan work on my 8570w. How does the mod see both fans? I see some (pavilion units) just split the fan feed on all wires and it seems fine.

    cool, was considering M5000M vs 980M upgrade for my machine hence the ask as i have LVDS. i mean id love a 10 series, but without DC (or equivalent) i'm stuck.
  11. Daedalus
    were both yours in LVDS screens? not that DC screens should behave any different.
  12. Daedalus
    Isnt the screen brightness adjustment (or lack thereof) a downside of the more powerful cards? Just LVDS screen on mine, although still hunting for a DC (or equivalent) screen. There was a chap on here (built ultimate 8770w thread) where he got a equivalent screen and the mythical 40/50pin cable too.
  13. Daedalus
    Nice work. Did you manage to upgrade the GPU any further in your 8770w? I know @GuitarG in this forum has been trying many gtx and etc cards in his 8570w. I’m curious if there needs to be any custom vbios to make them work in the elitebooks? My 965m install failed at post, so now looking at 980m, I noticed you tried the m3000 with options for the m5000. in your screen upgrade is that connected behind the Dreamcolour board or is the cable a custom one which negates the need for DC middle bit. I think the 8570 & 8770 DC options are same parts (with exception of screen size) Unfortunately i didnt manage to get on well with TaoBao and not sure if they would ship to my location.
  14. Daedalus
    Yep, I’d previously tried the 965m "A" in my 8570w (i7-3940xm bios.71), but it never passed POST, however someone has managed to get a 965m working. I notice there are only two vbios for it on techpowerup. Wonder if it was due to GM204 in the vs GM206 in the 965m that I had the issue?
  15. Daedalus
    Thanks @panda_zzz for the correction. Interesting @erikmiskolin that you have a HP GPU board but dell vbios and it worked (until recently) are the dell vbios .rom more compatible than HP for our needs? maybe worth adding a sticky post somewhere on this forum for known working rom versions and card combo’s
