    I switched my standard FullHD with a complete display unit i ordered from an alibaba seller.
    He offered a 8770w display unit but send me a 8760w unit which was not new at all. It had no wear but it was not a stock unit because it was clearly visible that it was assembled on a 8760w unit before.
    As a result, my expectations were dampened a bit and I was concerned that it wouldn't work.
    But my concern was unfounded.

    Only thing i had to do was installing the mod driver of my upgraded M4000M again, which was kicked out of the device manager.

    So if you can get your hands on an 8760w DC2 unit, take it. It works on 8770w 100% without changing any cable.
