    For now I changed to 280W, because I have it for "free". Just changed cables and it works exactly as it should. And here is why adapter didn't worked - no third cable to ID pin... useless ! Next step I will check if new cable works correctly using some 4k 40pin edp display.

    Hi there! As I am slowly closing my old project, there is a new one as soon as I bought replacement for ol' trusty rusty 8570w. With a nice price tag, I though "why not". It has 12th gen i7 HX CPU, A3000 gpu, lovely vapor chamber, 32GB of ram and a lot of potential. There are some things I don't like and some I do. As for now I wanted to : -Change keyboard Done! -Upgrade IPS LCD to OLED 120HZ 2K -Upgrade power supply to at least 280W or even 330W (I use puny 200W) -Make chassis sturdier and coolder? (I mean less hot furnance, more ice freezer) -Upgrade speakers -Upgrade GPU - A3000 to at least A3500 or higher -Newer motherboard? (If I win lottery, haha) I tried using chinesium big HP charger to smaller HP charger (as I have 280W left from 8570w), but failed. So I don't recommend them, laptop don't recognize those. And original 200W is burning itself slowly to death. Already bought cable with enough DP lanes for 4K ! Part number on photo. Now I have to save money for buying that sweet, sweet 120HZ OLED from Samsung.. Case is good, generally speaking, but I hate plastic bottom plate. I plan to try CNC that in aluminium.. maybe. And I have yet to think about modding palmrest to less of that of hot plate :F (no ideas for now) Before I bought that COMPUTOR (think of aliens voice in muppets, haha) I used for 2 weeks MBP 16" with M1. I disliked some things about that bitten apple, but it's ice like coldness and very good sounding (for laptop) speakers got me shocked. Inspired me so much, that I will try to replicate that characteristic. About things I despise (and I may be too lazy to do something about) is power button right on keyboard. Yuck! Quality is something to be desired, ex. DuraKeys on older HP are very hard to leave finger print on them, here it's much easier to leave grease (maybe because high temperature ?). Finish on older palmrest is better, too (same reasons as keyboard). Motherboard is more fragile, too. Those puny connectors and locks.. I can't count times I dissasembled old girl (about milion times, no kidding) and nothing brittled or got damaged. Here I was disconnecting LCD cable (for palmrest swap) and while connecting it back it's plastic locking tab almost flied itself to Moon. And I was careful about it. Keyboard is harder to swap, but at least it's screwed on, not riveted. Anything else comes to mind I will share here. Let the fun begin .. Now!

    I bought 40 pin cable for upgrade, I'm thinking about making another separate thread for documenting upgrades 🙂 I want to upgrade GPU, too.
  4. GuitarG
    Hi there! Did you succeed with display upgrade ? I bought used Fury G9 and I will attempt to upgrade it + mod it too
  5. GuitarG
    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.
  6. GuitarG
    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 😕
  7. GuitarG
    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
  8. GuitarG
    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
  11. GuitarG
    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.
  14. GuitarG
    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
  15. GuitarG
    Interesing job ! Any benchmarks pre-mod and after ?
  16. 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 ?
