Laptop modding screen upgrade.

Naveronasis

This is a bit of an odd one, need help from some people who don't mind getting their hands dirty and thought I might have a better chance finding the right people in the build section rather than the pre-built section.

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 What I want to do is replace the 15.6" 120hz ips panel (dp40) with a Oled Panel (1080p, though right now I only seem to be able to find 4k ones sold loose) I know that BOTH the laptop and the Samsung Panels are DP40, but I don't know if the fit would be "good enough" and if the laptop will provide enough power. I dug into the specs as much as I could and came up empty.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Laptop displays are typically not upgradable outside of the limited options the OEM has on offer for the device originally, mainly because the connector is not standard across manufacturers or even within product series altogether.

The number of pins and the size of the connector may line up but that doesn't guarantee the actual pin outs are correct. So it's a bit of a crap shoot.

Well... maybe I can find a toasted Legion 5 to test on before I take my good one apart then >.>
