Use Dell nytg2 4k touch display cable for 144hz screen?

I'm looking to upgrade the screen in my Dell G5 5587 to a AUO B156HAN07.0 or 07.2 but the screen has 40pin 0.5 pin edp connector.

The Dell display cable for 4k non touch is 8vwhf but it has 0,4mm pitch (40pin)

Now the Dell display cable nytg2 for FHD touch screen has 0,5mm pitch (40pin).

But will it work?

Anybody care to venture an opinion?

 

IMO matching pins and pitch should work fine. The touch cables have more lanes for bandwidth when it comes to the eDP connection. If you pull up your current panel on panelook and look at the connection naming vs the new panel they should match up closely or exactly.

 

Panels match up.

But I ordered both 8vwhf and nytg2 from aliexpress and also a pitch converter adapter.

They were not that expensive and then I can see if pins match up or not.

 

I would do the same through Amazon on certain things but, AE is a PITA for me at this point. Covering all your bases though makes it simple to fix if one part isn't right.

 

Just a follow up on this.

The NYTG2 have very different pin out then the 8vwhf so it will not work.

However I also bought a pitch adapter and that combined with the 8vwhf = succes.

Screen is working however no brightness control.

Try stripping the drivers w/ DDU and reinstalling them. I don't recall what i did while messing around with things but ended up in a situation w/ no controls and through the process fixed it.

 

Yeah but brightness control does not even work in BIOS, but I will give it a go.

 

Is there possibly another cable listed in the service manual? The control might be wired to a different pin on the panel.
