Inspiron 17R SE 7720 Screen Replacement

Dear All,

I have an Inspiron 17R SE 7720 laptop with the 3D screen for about three year and in the last month the screen does not work anymore (When I power on the computer only give me 8 beeps and after looking up it look like the LCD is not working).  After looking for spare parts I was not able to fine and 3D scrren replacement.

Can anyone tell me if is possible for me to change the 3D screen (1920 * 1080) to a non 3D standard (1920 * 1080) screen. Will this work or do I need to change the LCD cable as well.

Thank You in advance

I also have the very same question.  When I replaced my screen with a non 3D screen , all i got was 3 beeps.  I am procuring a non 3D lcd cable and going to try again

Changing from 3D to non-3D requires a replacement system board -- the boards are different in the display connector types.

CAG sir

Once I procure a non 3D LCD cable , I will attempt to connect. Hope the connector at the motherboard is matching.

I purchased a non 3D  screen.  The connector on both screens are 40 pin, and connexon

was easy, but on power up the screen remained blank, and there were 8 beeps.

Now I am procuring a  non 3D screen cable, and I will post whether the connexon on the motherboard matches, and whether it works.

I also feel the motherboard will be different, in that the 3D screen runs at a 120Hz refresh rate.  Non 3D screen runs at 60 Hz.

If memory serves, the non-3D screen is LVDS, while the 3D is eDP.  The two may have the same connector, but they're electrically incompatible with each other -- the mainboards are indeed different.
