Probook 450 G1- Screen upgrade

[GranFigura]

Hello,

I would like to upgrade my 1366x769 anti-glare screen on a Probook 450 G1 to at least 1920x1080.

Is this possible -- are you aware of the existance of such spare parts?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Mihai

The Manual indicates that a FHD (1920 x 1080) screen was not offered which maybe means the screen cable and/or motherboard does not support a higher resolution than you have:

This is likely your panel:

Its a 40 pin bottom right cable LED so a FHD might very likely work (30 pin likely would not) and there are lots of them available:

You can really only know 100% if it will work by trying it which seems a bit risky to me.

Have you tried the solution given?

Have you succeeded in replacing your display?

Does the notebook work properly with the new screen at the new resolution?

[GranFigura]

Haven't tried it. Not sure it's worth the risk.

I will be purchasing a screen and seeing if this upgrade will work. I will let you all know in a months time when the part arrives.

Thanks a lot! I really look forward to hearing about your success! Where did you order the part at?

I am purchasing this one:

It was the closest match to what is currently in the machine after a lot of searching. It is indeed a 40 pin bottom right config but they vary in design around the outside. I compared them to my own machine.

Did you ever try this?  Considering this upgrade myself.

Hi Brandon, 

The screen I received was faulty or did not work with the laptop and it was another £110 pounds to get another so I left it. It would have been more than the value of the laptop. 

I was able to get the screen up and running but it was fuzzy and did not natively go to the higher resolution and when I forced it it was just fuzzy grain. 

I was not able to get a return on the screen either.

It was a failure unfortunately. 

Hope this helps. 

In theory it should work.
