Source a M17x R4 Display Cable

[Naberius]

Hi, all. I'm... contemplating xvision cards for kicks. One thing standing in the way though is displays; I currently use a 120hz panel with an msi 1070. I have a 60hz panel on hand but for some god awful reason I can't find its original display cable (the spec name for which I can't recall... the one that isn't edp... lvds maybe? Going with it for the sake of brevity). 

 

Other than buying another M17x R4 and cannibalizing it (not unrealistic - abused ones have been showing up on facebook marketplace with some frequency... and a spare mobo... and a working 680m for recovery operations... wouldn't be a bad idea at this point), where would one source an lvds cable? The edp cable is incompatible with the lvds screen and wouldn't fit in the lvds port on the motherboard, right?

Hi,

I may help you, I found my old 60hz, but salty with mildew (I think there was to much humidity in storage.)

if I can’t clean it, I could ship you the
cable, which is ok and clean 👍

[update] cleaning failed. The I can provide the cable, let me now if you still need it.

Very generous offer, @El_gohan! That said, I'll see if I can't get a fresh one from parts people first -- I... totally forgot about them. Good call, @Maxware79
