    Lenovo G700 help/suggestions

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Lenovo G700 with and awful Intel 2020M but has a dedicate GT 720M.
    I have tried to upgrade the CPU to a i3/i5/i7 all 2nd gen as they have the same socket.
    It does have the HM70 chipset which whitelists all CPU`s but 2020M and 2030M.

    My question now:

    Is it possible to remove that whitelist in order to put a different CPU in it?

    Regards

      No. Stick to Pentium/Celeron or replace PCH/motherboard with HM76.

          Oh...
          Well...
          Was worth a try...
          I managed to put a i7-2670QM in it.
          Works really fast. Really nice.
          But shuts down after 30 min or so.
          Was monitoring thermals as I thought that was the issue (that was before I found out about the chipset restriction).
          Would have been really nice to make it work...

              Lenovo 15ARH05 LCD whitelist removal request (Yes. display whitelists....)
              by techcraze
              Long story short. i am building a fully custom car radio. and want to use a extremely bright LCD.

              sadly the DGPU seems to be nonfunctional after i fixed the bios (fried voltage controller). so the Original HDMI port does not work.

              you can use a EDP TO HDMI adapter to add a HDMI port as replacement to the onboard EDP LCD connector,

              HOWEVER it turns out. lenovo enforces a LCD whitelist.

              this means you cannot upgrade the LCD despite matching EDP specs and voltages.

              If i connect a new screen directly to the system. only static shows....
