Title
Aorus X5 v6 Display and Connector Replacement
Introduction
The Aorus X5 I have is the 3k version, that means the display is the Panasonic VVX16T028J00.

My specific issue is that the LED backlighting stopped working. I first tried replacing the screen, but this did not solve the problem. I am now trying to replace the cable. If this does not solve the problem, then the issue is with the mainboard and cannot be fixed. There are no available schematics for Aorus laptops, so replacing the correct mainboard elements would be difficult. Taking the laptop completely apart is relatively easy. I may make a guide for this in the future.
The connector is a custom Aorus 40pin LCD LVDS cable. Good luck finding a replacement cable if this breaks, be aware that a similar 40 pin connector from the X7 laptop IS NOT compatible. Aorus uses several different types of connectors on their mainboards. Also be aware that if you have to 1080p version of the X5 v6, your connector is a 30 pin connector.
