    Little upgrade, after dissasembly of panel I put some thermal pad for big IC of DC board - I cut out plastic foil between lid and IC. Now panels seems to be cold, previously it was very hot to touch (especially on lower bezel). Will test more with higher brightness, but seems to help somewhat - I though previously that RGB backlight of DC screen was scorching.

    Well, seems DC screen have new problem lately. I left screen closed for few days and that happened. So not only do they get very hot and are too bright (on lowest settigns), but they also have trouble with image retention 😕

    Yup, I changed it, from 8560w to zbook one. Fixed problems I had, but needed a little diy - screw holes were too small, so whole board didnt fit in dedicated place. And btw, those dc screen board electrically are all interchangeable. Same story with cables from that board to display panel. Good job with fan! Better than I did, haha. As for cooling, greatest weakness is not enough pipes and exhaust fins (I mean in original design) No problemo! Feeling better, so if I get little more free time will make schematic for edp cable

    Here you go! Green 8560w was first one I used, I didn't had names for color profiles. Default profile was red tinted. Blue board I used from Zbook, probably 17 G2, it had correct color scheme names and no weird reddish white.

    Allright, here's my attempt https://limewire.com/d/es62w#hLcxDrdJyT

    Unfortunately your method @JadeRover don't work with Turing 😞 tested two times on two different vbios. Exactly same checksum as non-modded original. Laptop turns on, backlight turns on, caps lock and num lock reacts (so I think laptop kind of POSTs ?) but.. no image on internal or external port 😞 Damn nvidia

    Anyone tried modding TDP in newer GPUs ? I succeded only with Pascal gen. (P5200 GPU) and it was long time ago. Turing was blocked back then. What about it today ? Worst case scenario I will try shunt resistor, I want to lower power a bit.

    Cheap dirt. AFAIK, about 15-20$. Even those 4K ones. Very! In fact, one guy using here is right on this forum, too. Have you seen ultimate 8770w thread ? Though.. ... now I remember there was reason he uses Radeon MXM 😕 And I hate that word. Compability (between vbios and LCD matrix). And I encountered that problem before, with Clevo. I have a lot of free time on my hands (pun intented, you know, carpal tunnel ^^). Maybe I will think of something. EDIT. Well, during writing I already got first idea. I need zbook 17 g6 original LCD to check. It should be 100% compatible with mine RTX, since it's same platform and even laptop model. And even if it doesn't work, we still make step toward solution.

    My idea is to buy eDP 30pin cable for Clevo and use original one from HP (or buy one cheaply to not destroy original one :P). Simply, because then we solder only one side. Muuuuch easier to make it work. And less subject to noise problems. Only real question is will it work with my RTX? As you know I already checked with K1000M and everythings works as intended. But it was so long time ago I don't remember. And I checked videos I made when trying 4k cable, it worked too, but my bad was in using LVDS hp cable. 4K clevo cables would be a lot better (signal needs special treatment - traces length, noise supression, etc). That's why on Chinese forum they said guy modified clevo cable for his 8770w

    Interesing job ! Any benchmarks pre-mod and after ?
  12. GuitarG
    I really would love some better LCD in laptop. My dreamcolor screen at lowest brightness lights up whole room at night 😅 Anybody with DC can confirm same "problem" with minimal brightness ?

    Hi there, sorry for such long time to notice, hand is still recovering and in few days I will have other hand "not usable" for some time 😞 So let me help as much I can now, About looking for 5V points, use pins from under DVD slot. To find which one, type "8560w boardview" in search engine, use OpenBoardviewer from github. With such tool you can also understand fan connector pins role. You need only one wire across board, if I remember, connect PWM pin from "slave fan" to PWM pin from "main fan". REMEMBER to solder it BEFORE that little coil. If you solder it AFTER coil (directly to 5 legged IC) you will damage it! 1- 5V 2- PWM 3- GND 4- Tacho 5- Coild for PWM signal Like I wrote, remember to solder in between that coil (5) and pin (2). For DVD port you can even use electronic side cutter. I did so, of course being careful and gently. After plastic "deletion" metal wires left I just desoldered with soldering iron and pinched them with pliers. Good luck Nice one ! Sure! No problem, I even found another DC board, so I have 3 in total - one from Zbook (using it in my laptop) and two from 8560W (one is green, other blue). I will upload them all after I will be able to work! BTW, PC industry situation nowadays makes my inside very sad, I think we will have to get through that Shawkshank Redemption pipe of (...) with what we have.. I had plans to build myself a nice PC, but after PC parts price rising I decided to stay with my trusty old notebook even longer. Untill he will come of age to drink beer with me ^_^ See you all later !

    That component turns on sata led activity, in simple answer. Regarding project, have fun and good luck! Few months ago I helped my friend to repaste his Precision 7520. He does have mxm slot too, but unfortunately it’s smaller A version. Nice laptops, though!
  15. GuitarG
    Actually you can carefully *delete* that connector with pliers, no need to dissasembly whole laptop. If you would like to use that SATA port then it would be possible to route cables elsewhere
  16. GuitarG
    Definitely desolder dvd connector, mxm board will bend overtime and stop working. Especially with heatsink attached. Smartphones have very small board, so it's less prone to bend issue.
