Replacing / upgrading the screen on an HP Omen 15 model I5-ce003na

[jaymcs]

Hello room...

My son's laptop (HP Omen Model I5-ce003na) screen is broken, his brother threw something at him an broke screen. I was wondering can I upgrade it to UHD, it's a 30 pin model atm, model no B156HAN04.2...

What are my options... can I go 4k.. I would like to surprise him with an upgrade instead of just a replacement.?

Looking a bit more into it I realize it looks like I can change the 40 to 30 pin cable for a 40 to 40 pin edp.. found this on your hp forums:  https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/HP-Omen-15-dc0008nw-Display-Re...

I also been looking at some more panels from same manu, if I can change the cable (which I think I can , looks like anyway) to 40 to 40 pin connection maybe I can I put in a B156ZAN05.1 UHD 120hz .. or at least maybe a B156ZAN05.0 500cd UHD 60hz ??

Could I have the HP pn no of the correct cable pls... and maybe pn's for screen options too ?

All help is greatly appreciated, thanks an kind regards from Dublin 🙂

FYI for anyone else interested.. it did not work.. I tried the original HP cable 40 to 40pin but HP must have modified the pin out on the board or the cable for the mike an camera.. as it would not light up screen even though it's same voltage etc, it was not as long as original cable either it wouldn't have reached but I tested it none the less jus for pig iron an it did not light up.

@ Echo_Lake .. I still do not know which model of the wifi I can use I read somewhere it can be upgraded to WIFI AX but not sure exactly which model of the Intel Dual WIfi card to purchase ???
