- Confirmed that Y480 has single-channel LVDC from motherboard, Y580 had dual channel. Cannot just replace LCD with Full HD as its missing controller signals. Bummer.
- Find compatible Full HD screen replacement
- Find VGA-to-LVDS controller board to fit where DVD drive was located. Remove DVD drive and permanently fasten cover.
- Find (slim) VGA cable to solder from motherboard to VGA controller board
- How to turn off display when standby, etc?
- How to adjust brightness via OS? If VGA output is used, backlight is off. sigh.
- Processor has provisions for eDP and second channel LVDS but none are populated.
