    There's threads like these with similar mods being done to similar laptops.

    Basically if your chassis at the time was sold with a similar variant that had a 120Hz panel in it (how similar is the GL 502 VS?) - maybe in a different country - your odds are pretty good, just identify the panel model and any other requirements (perhaps an upgraded display cable) and buy them. I don't know if Asus service/workshop/repair manuals are around but if you can't find anyone who's successfully done the swap you intend to, they are the next best source of info.

    And as the OP in the above linked thread proved; uninstall your geforce drivers before you do the swap...

    Thank you for your reply! Then i will try to identify the panels of the gl502vs or the news gl 503 and try to find out if they are compatible
