Hi everyone! I'm currently thinking about upgrading the screen of my Dell Inspiron 15R 5521 from 1366x768 to 1920x1080 by changing the LCD panel. I have gathered enough information to determine what LCD and LVDS cable I need, but some things still hold me back. Let me start with what I have now; LCD panel: LG Display LP156WH3 (TL)(SA) LVDS cable: (Dell p/n:) VAW00 LVDS CABLE What I am planning to upgrade with; LCD panel: Chimei Innolux N156HGE-LG1 REV.C2 LVDS cable: (Dell p/n:) W08FN LVDS FHD CABLE Both the new LCD screen and LVDS cable are listed as compatible with the Inspiron 15R 5521 on Parts-People.com LCD: https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=16242 LVDS: https://www.parts-people.com/index.php?action=item&id=14678 The current and new screen have the same 40-pin connector, the new LVDS cable is just to be sure. So far so good, but next the things that make me doubt; - When I do a search for other types of Dell Inspiron series, I usually find the LVDS cable listed as either "LVDS HD CABLE" or LVDS FHD CABLE" while my current LVDS cable is just called that, without HD or FHD on it. This makes me doubt there is/was no choice of LVDS cable, just one. - When searching for my current LVDS part number (VAW00), I mostly find the motherboard of my Inspiron. So when I search for VAW00 I get motherboards, and when I search W08FN I get LVDS cables. This makes me wonder if this motherboard only supports one type of display, because the part number of my current LVDS cable links directly to the motherboard instead of a separate LVDS cable. Someone may be wondering why I don't just get a new laptop. Because, while from 2013, this laptop still does everything I want it to do and is still in very good condition. The only downside is the resolution at the moment, especially when coding etc.

H2testw shows 7.4GB as OK, I think it is just a 8GB card (poorly) modified to appear as 32GB. I took a gamble and lost (for now), but I find it fascinating to see they still pull this prank on people. Someone out there bought the same card and is probably using it to take their holiday or baby pictures only to find most of them are lost when viewing them on a PC or something.

Some sellers on Aliexpress are just so stubborn, even after I provide evidence of the problem. I wanted to ask you guys if you think this 'Goodisk' card is real or not. At first the formatted capacity seems too high. After testing with H2testw, it was clear to me that I recieved a fake/hacked card. Even after showing the seller this, he refuses to believe it.
