I’ve just received an AMD DIY with 2.8k screen. The display cable looks like this: [image] 2 questions: AFAICT, the white part is an adhesive strip like the ones on the bezel. Should it be stuck to the display? I do not see it mentioned in the AMD quick start guide nor the Display replacement g…

Looking at the display replacement guide it did not explicitly call out the new 2.8K panel for FW13 models. Hopefully someone from Framework can clarify if the cable routing is intended to be identical or is slightly different than what is shown in the guide. Maybe @Destroya can chime in. Thank y…

I’ll wait for confirmation regarding the adhesive. I recall Hinge clicks - #13 by mjnz previously, so don’t want to cause them unnecessarily. I’ve also asked support. Almost certainly it needs routing inside here: [image] Just thought it was strange it was shipped below.

Yes, same strip. I was also wondering what to do with it

[image] anon81945988: Does the image at 9 seconds into this video show how it is ‘stuck’ just below the display ??? After 8 messages back and forth with support who could not give a definitive answer to this (besides “the display cable needs to be routed correctly”), I gave up and stuck it do…

It does not rally matter what you do to this white strip. It is emant to be sticked on the display (it was like this with my old cable). But for me when I pulled the white paper, the glue came down with the paper as well and the cable still fits needly in to those aluminium rails. My only problem n…

Not only because of bezel/cable, but in general: Is this display replacement guide [image] Display Replacement Guide also valid for the 2.8k display component exactly the same way? I seem not to be able to find any other guide beside this? Thanks.
