JeanLegi Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Lot of time and some more testing for the science as mentioned by @IamTechknow ^^. Plan is/was to switch the original display GE76 Raider 11UH with FHD 360Hz Display to GE76 Raider 11UH Display Replacement WQHD or GE76 Raider 11UH Display Replacement QHD 4K First attempt was not succesful because the FHD has the 21mm 40 edp and the WQHD had the 40 pin with 25mm and thanks to the brothers @IamTechknowand @KING19and their recommendation for ebuy7 (don't know it so far) I ordered next to the honeywell ptm a Shenzhen Universal 40 to small 40-pin EDP adapter to do it again. Hope this helps others to find their inforamtion faster :). Edit: I was informed that i need to order 5 of the universal 40 to small 40 pin adapters. Finally done and waiting for more information. 4 cheerio jp 1.

JeanLegi Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 1. What you need You need a hairdryer to warm up the front cover of the display. the cover was not easy to remove for me so be careful when you do this. Hopefully everyone knows how a hairdryer is looking if not search for it 😋 and disconnect the battery first to avoid possible damage. 2. Removing Parts Removing the screen frame first (the screen itself is holding by double-sided tape on the back no screws). I don't need the hairdryer again because the tapes are a bit damage but for this it was very helpful. Same for the cover where the display is stuck with strips to hold it i break the first display when i try to remove it. Warm it with the hairdryer. The red marked parts are double-side tape.. don't know why MSI uses so much other manufacturerer like HP use less and it is good enough to fix it. 3. How to connect and fix the adapter Today the adapters arrive from china it took 13 days from ordering till delivery today 12th october. As you can see there are 3M stripes and maybe they are a bit to thick i will check it the next days. The Adapter fits perfect on the screen vga port. Removed the protective paper from the 3M tape Then bend and glue the adapter on on the screen too and finaly done. And finally the VGA cable insert in the edp port. 4. Windows Advanced Display and HWInfo 5. Last steps when not everything is working - Reinstall the Nvidia driver - Reinstall True Color in msi hybrid mode, after this it was working again. i download the true color version for the GE77 Raider HX it looks like it has the same display. - I do an EC reset as usual after upgrade things. 4 cheerio jp 1.

I wonder if the same process could be used to downgrade the CreatorPro X17 display from UHD 120hz to FHD 360hz without need for the cable adapter. 1 Desktop - 12900KS, 32GB DDR5-6400 C32, 2TB WD SN850, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Clevo PE60SNE - 14900HX, 32GB DDR5-5600 CL40, 4TB WD SN850X, RTX 4070 mobile, 16.0 inch FHD+ 165hz, System76 open source firmware, Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanLegi Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 The FHD cable is 40pin 21mm and the UHD has 25mm you will need a new cable or an adapter for this in my opinion. 1 cheerio jp 1.
