Dreamcolor Display from HP ZBook 17 G2 into 8760w?

[loopster]

I've got a Dreamcolor display assembly from a parted out HP ZBook 17 G2 here.

Does anyone know whether the panel of this assembly can be integrated into a Elitebook 8760w as a straightforward swap?

The 8760w is running a M4000M.

I can't use the Dreamcolor display on the Zbook 17 with RTX3000 (or P3000 for that matter) as I understand, as the RTX3000 card needs

Hybrid graphics enabled in this model, which in turn would automatically be disabled with a DC display.

As far as I know the display connector is different. Other than that it should work.

The display is the same : 

LP173WF3-SLB3

also same as the ones ending in SBL1/SBL2/SBL4.

 

They use an eDP cable going to a converter that converts the 40 pin eDP int 50 pin LVDS that then breaks out into 2 cables that plug into the display.

 

Motherboard eDP connector -> (eDP cable) -> eDP to LVDS converter board -> (2x lcd cables) -> LCD 50 + 10 pin LVDS input

 

What is sure to work is get a non working dreamcolor motherboard cable + board + LCD cable from 8760w and use the lcd you salvaged from the zbook.

Actually the pinout of 8760w motherboard eDP connector is not compatible with zbook eDP Motherboard connector.

 

8760w has eDP and LVDS on the same connector wheras Zbook had only eDP on the connector.

 

pluggin zbook display cable on 8760w will short out LVDS and cause no boot at best and motherboard damage at worst.

 

Therefore you can only salvage the display from the Zbook 17 g2. You will need to source the DreamColor cables  + board made specifically for the 8760w.

I eventually put it in my second zbook 17 g1, which is currently running a crappy K610M. I'll probably drop the M4000M into this one,

and maybe sell the 8760w with k3100m inside.

Does the G1 support eDP on DP_D? You can drop an RTX 4000 or RTX 5000 from HP.

 

I dropped an RTX 5000 HP for the Dell precision M6700 eDP 120Hz edition.

I will soon get a G1/G2 not sure, blindly bought it for 40 euros, seller had no info at all.

 

On g1 schematic it has eDP on DP_D

 

One day when I have time I while write a complete guide on zbook 15/17 that have MXM slot (g1 -> g6)

[loopster]

I have no idea what that means :-).

I actually have a rtx3000 in my primary zbook 17.

 

I think it's Adlink
