Display replacement

[pedja-bl]

Hi,

I have Elitebook Folio 9470m with 1360x768 HD screen (part no. 702871-001) and i want to replace screen with 1600x900 HD+ screen (part no. 708771-001).

So, I'm wondering if i replace the displays will i suffer any problems with my current system configuration and is it even possible to replace screen if it has different resolution from the one that came with laptop at first?

Thank you.

From the Service Manual:

Manual

There is a 1366 x 768 panel and a 1600 x 900 panel and there is only one cable used for either panel so yes, you could replace your panel with the higher resolution model and the screen will display at the right resolution. 

Post back if you need help locating the part or installing.

Hi,

I tried this with my hp folio 9470m (40pin) but with the 1600x900 screen resolution the screen is blurry/not sharp.

Updated bios and video drivers didn't help. Any ideas?

thx
