8770w DreamColor

[Horologium]

Hello everyone!

Very good site, I'm very happy that find it, so many important information!)
Actually I have questions and I really hope that you can help me guys!

I have HP 8770w with non-DreamColor (B173HW02 v.1), nvidia quadro k3000 and as you guess I would like to upgade it to DreamColor (LP173WF3-SLB3/SLB2);-)
I found that it possible with color decoder STDP8028 and cables, am I right?
The problem is I can't find the cables I need, could you help me in this issue? I just found two cables for 8540w (MB - decoder - LCD), and one for 8760w (MB - decoder) but I guess I can't use it...
Where I can find cables for 8770w (MB - decoder - LCD), what the serial number I need?

Now I'm trying to find it on taobao.com, maybe you know some different place?

I really hope for your help!

Thank you and sorry that I wrote it in English;-)

Welcome to join this community!
I am the site founder and believe it definitely supports multi languages discussion on the board. we have google translator, right?
The community is openned to all hp FANS around the world.

Back to your question, yes you're right, the 8770w DreamColor display is equipped with panel LP173WF3-SLB3, and also color mapping board (STDP8028) w/ cables connecting to both panel and mainboard ports.

The cable applied between panel and color mapping board is usually the same and compatible on all systems, the one from 15.6in module may be a little shorter in length if used on 17.3in module, but it can work.

The other cable applied between mainboard and color mapping board is not compatible with each other on different computer modules, especially 8740w's cable can not be used on 8760w's for example. This is because some pins are absolutely different in pin order.

I do not know the exact P/N # of 8770w's cable.
But there might be a chance to modify the 8760w's cable and use it on 8770w.

The different between 8760w and 8770w is the second one does not have ALS module. More information you may refer to a previous discussion in below link.

If you reside outside of China, you may also have a look on ebay.

Hope this can be helpful.

Hello one more time!

Oh yeah, google the best;-)

Thank you for your answer!)
I've found this parts:
Decoder - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... 9968572228
MB/Decoder (8760w) - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... 3442588616
Decoder/LCD (8540w) - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... 3284691188

So, can I really use these parts?

I'm a little bit worry about 8540w, because it's shorter and furthermore I have a picture (https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-iVAW ... photo2.JPG) with 8760w DC and I see another cable. Do you know what is it?
In 8540w we see another picture (http://forum.hpfocus.com/eds/file.php?id=5939)

But here we see another picture 8760w (http://forum.hpfocus.com/eds/file.php?id=8738&mode=view)

Why they have another cables? And what should have I?)

sorry i see invalid link in your post.

the cable for 8540w may be shorter than the one on 8760w, but they're compatible.
it is recommanded to use the original cable.

btw, i am going to be offline soon, pls make posting if you have further question.

Welcome other firends to comment if any idea or suggestion!

Ok!) Now it's clear. Sorry for links, there are new one:

Decoder - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... 9968572228
MB/Decoder (8760w) - http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a23 ... 3442588616
Decoder/LCD (8540w) - http://s.taobao.com/search?initiative_i ... io_all%3A1

Could you explain me what shoul I do with 8760w cable, as I undestand the 8770w doesn't have 1 pin, am I right?
Maybe you have some cable's pictures that already changed?

And one more question for all members:-)
I've found some parts on taobao.com (up) and would like to buy it. But the proplem is that I can't(
I've been trying to buy it on website, but I don't have chinese mobile number, that why I can do it.
And unfortunately I haven't found this parts on ebay.
May be you know another way to get this parts?

Thank's a lot!
