Hi all,
the display on my A555 (HD resolution 1366x768) is broken. I am thinking of replacing the whole thing, but preferably with a Full HD display. This was originaly not available for the A555, but for the A555/G, which has additionally a Radeon card installed. (As with the A556/G. From the A557 onwards, the Full HD Display is also available for the Intel only HD Graphics).
Has anyone ever done this conversion for the A555 or A556? The eDP cable seems to be the same (30 pin with webcam connection). The display covers etc. are also the same part numbers, so it fits. The BIOS files of the A555 and the A555/G have different MD5 sums. However, they are the same BIOS versions from the same day, so it could also be the code for the Radeon, but I have not compared the files. Is there a whitelist/blacklist in the firmware that only allows certain displays on the eDP cable?
Kind regards
Paul
