Hi @sepulther
Here's some info that may help.
Two of the USB ports are mounted on a separate pcb board (Asus part #90R-N56US1000Y) so at least they will be easy to replace - simply replace the board. The others are mounted on the motherboard so it will have to be removed so that the port can be removed and replaced. Here's a Asus G74SX teardown video that may help. You will need smd soldering skills to remove/replace the port on the motherboard - there are videos on YouTube that show how to do this.
Here's a Asus G74SX screen replacement video that shows how to replace the screen.
There are 3 different screens available for the G74SX model:
If you have a G74SX-BBK8 model then the screen is Asus part # 18G241730601Q Asus LCD TFT17.3' HD+ GLARE LED(A+) i.e. 1600 x 900 resolution
If you have another G74SX variant then it could be the one above or either of the two listed below:
Asus part # 18G241730120Q Asus LCD TFT 17.3' FHD LED (A+) i.e. 1920 x 1080 resolution
Asus part # 18G241730311Q Asus LCD TFT17.3' FHD GLARE LED(A+) i.e. 1920 x 1080 resolution
If you wish to verify what type of screen you have, the part number can sometimes be found on the back of the LCD panel itself.
If the LVDS cable is the cause of the problem i.e. loose connection or damaged where it passes through the hinge to get from the motherboard to the display, I've found 5 part numbers applicable to your model but they may be dependent on the screen type.
Asus part #14G140348000 & 14G140348020 (G74 3D LVDS cable)
Asus part # 14G140348200, 14G140348210 & 14G140348220 (G74 LVDS cable - 14G140348210 & 14G140348220 are interchangeable).
Usually the part number for the cable can be found printed on the cable itself.
Search online using the Asus part number only to get results for suppliers that suit you best.
