So recently I purchased a 2022 Asus TUF F17 laptop off Amazon considering it seemed to be a great piece of equipment for the price point. The model is FX707ZE but there was an oversight on my behalf, the display, which is total garbage. That being said I did some research and apparently people are able to upgrade certain display based on very specific compatibility requirements. Causing me to spend the last 5 hours hyperfocusing on what seems like it's never been done to this specific model.
I want to upgrade it because of how terrible it is. I was able to find an upgrade 4k replacement panel with the exact same dimensions, same 40 pin EDP connection, same voltage, everything's the same hardwarewise. Except for the fact that I have a flat and this one's considered a slim panel which is about 2 mm off..
The question is, will it work?? The laptop currently has the stock B173HAN04.9 and I am trying to upgrade it to a B173 ZAN06.8. I've already tried contacting Geek Squad and Asus's Tech support to no avail. They know even less than I and were completely dumbfounded by the idea, dismissing it almost immediately. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
The factory 2022 TUF F17 came with:
i7 12700H
Nvidia RTX 3050 Ti
2x8Gb Ram DDR5 4800Mhz
1Tb SSD Gen3
Motherboard part# 90NR08V1-M000A0
and the cost was about $1100
My upgrades will be:
2xNextorage Japan 2TB M.2 2280 with Heatsink PCIe Gen4.0 NVMe NEM-PA2TB/N SYM Maximum Transfer Rate Read: 7300MB/s, Write: 6900MB/s
$260
2xG.Skill RipJaws DDR5 SO-DIMM Series (Intel XMP) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 262-Pin DDR5 4800 CL38-38-38-76 1.10V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F5-4800S3838A32GA2-RS
$180
17.3"4k 120HZ LED LCD SCREEN B173ZAN06.8 EDP40PIN 3840X2160 UHD NON-TOUCH
$145 (lucky eBay find)
That's roughly $1700 bucks give or take, anything in the market with those specs will run at least $2200 to $2500.
