Replacing HD laptop screen with FHD one

[Yunus_T]

Hello all,

I'm planing to replace HD screen of my HP Envy-M6 1160ET laptop with the FHD screen. I think it should be possible.

How can I find correct order number for FHD screen? And I need order number for connecion cable too if it is necessary.

Does someone have any idea to help me on finding correct order numbers? Did anyone try it before?

Thanks for answers,

Yunus Tufek

Here is the Service Manual:

There was no optional FHD panel offered on that model line.

That means we do not know whether the existing video system and cable can drive a FHD panel. Maybe not.

You can certainly find a FHD panel that will fit and uses the same type of connector as the existing panel. This shows the type that is in there now:

But I give it no better than 50/50 that this FHD panel would display properly if you installed it.

Good luck.

I have learned that my screen has 40 pins bottom right located. And I have found a FHD screen which has 40 pins bottom right located. Here is the link .  I have send a message to seller and I'm waiting for reply to order and try to replace my screen. I hope it will work. I will text here the result... Thanks for help.

I like my laptop and It has excellent performance with SSD. Bu I really need higher resolution. It sucks...

The seller is not likely to know any more than I do about whether it will work for sure. I will say 40 pin cables can generally carry a high-res signal, but generally is not the same as a guaranty.
