Matt, what a great research! Thank you very much for your findings! No need to replace your screen (unless you'd like to upgrade it for other reasons). Soon I'm going to get my own eDP_EDID.bin for comparison. Also, I could run your version of iGPU blob out of curiosity, while you could try to run

Hi, Real progress this time, on understanding the differences in the LVDS info. I should note (btw) that I'm currently testing with the most up-to-date version of the proprietary G505s bios. I dumped the EDID information for my display panel from the following files: /sys/devices/pci:00/

Hi, I didn't get a different binary (at least, using this method) when charging the battery, nor did I get different results when doing so under full CPU load under linux. Getting frustrated with the livecd I took a break and tried Hardware Monitor under windows. The "GPU voltage" was static at 1

Hi, Interesting results for sure. It's probably important to note that I actually performed the dump while the laptop was running on a half-charged battery or somewhere in that ballpark. (and a really rather annoying Void Linux live-cd) It seems counter-intuitive that the system would raise volta

Hi Matt, so I compared the AtomDis dumps for iGPU ROMs ( yours vs mine ). There are some differences at " data_table aae6 #06 (LVDS_Info): ", sLCDTiming structure: usPixClk ( 0x1b12 vs 0x1c41 ), usHBlanking_Time ( 0x0070 vs 0x00a0 ), usVBlanking_Time ( 0x000e vs 0x0016 ), usHSyncOffset ( 0x0

Hi, Matt! Thank you very much for your research. Yes, I confirm that the ROMs provided my patch [1] ( installed by ./atombios.sh from this wiki [3] ) have been obtained from two G505S: one with HD 8570M dGPU and another with R5 M230 dGPU ; and the iGPU ROM of this patch is "from G505S with R5 M230"
