[EDP, LVDS] NEED HELP FIGURING OUT LAPTOP LCD CONNECTORS

[hotShit]

My laptop [Alienware 15 r3 60Hz Gsync AUO B156HAN06.0 HW2A] orignal screen has 30pin edp connector (I dont know what type of socket is on the motherboard)

i know 15r3 has 4k options which uses 40pin (so i am assuming their motherboard can do both or i am completly wrong and 4k models have diff motherboard connectors too)

i am looking for a 144hz screens (aliexpress) most of then are 40pin (lcd 1080p 144hz and if possible HDR)

SO, can i just get the 40pin lcd ribbon cable (for 15r3) along with the screen ASSUMING the motherboard socket can do both/or_is_independent_of_lcd_connector

 

any help would be appriciated

Using the onboard driver it is possible to use 4k panel without changing anything, but i don't know if it will work on your laptop, in theory if the same model has that screen option, lets just assume it will it will work out of the box.

 

For the panel, you have to make sure which 4k panel it supports, quick search maybe one of these :

The 4k panel which the same laptop has uses 40pin 4 lane EDP

But there could be a catch that is using 2 motherboard or alteast diff connector on motherboard or maybe some sort of adapted cable

I wanna confirm that

Yeah that maybe possible. But if the motherboard already have 40 pin, you can just buy a 40-40 pin cable.

40 pins is required to drive a 4k resolution. I don't see the reason why they would have multiple motherboard version for a single model.

I dont have extensive knowledge of alienware product, you can try dell forum or notebookcheck forum.
