Any way to get G-SYNC working after an OLED panel swap on a Legion 5 Pro?

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro with an RTX 4070 and I'm planning to swap the stock display for a 16-inch 2560×1600 240Hz OLED panel.

The OLED panel itself supports G-SYNC, but from what I understand, simply installing it in the Legion may not make the G-SYNC option appear in NVIDIA Control Panel.

The panel model I have is the NE160QDM-NM7 / BOE0C24, using a 40-pin eDP connection.

What I'm trying to figure out is: is there any way to make the Legion recognize the G-SYNC capability of the replacement OLED panel?

Would this require something like:

  • Changing or modifying the panel EDID
  • Using CRU
  • Running the laptop in dGPU-only mode
  • Modifying the BIOS
  • Using a different NVIDIA driver
  • Copying G-SYNC-related EDID information from the laptop the OLED panel originally came from

Since both my Legion and the replacement OLED panel are capable of G-SYNC, I'm wondering what actually prevents G-SYNC from working after the panel swap and whether anyone has found a workaround.

Has anyone successfully gotten G-SYNC working after installing a different G-SYNC-capable internal panel in a Legion?

Will this screen replace my IPS with Mini-LED?

Hey guys just currently wondering if I'm purchasing the right match for my laptop. I tried to message the company about my issue but they just stopped responding once they realized my question wasn't that easy to answer I guess? I'm not really sure they just closed our messaging page and basically left me on my own. Hoping anybody here has some knowledge on gaming laptops to help me out here. I just want to look into and see if this laptop screen is Mini LED and if it is compatible with my laptop. Here's what I sent the company -
I’m interested in buying your replacement screen listed as BOE NE160QDM-NM7 / BOE0C24, 16.0", 2560×1600, 240Hz, 40-pin.
My laptop is a Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8. My current screen is BOE NE160QDM-NZ3 / BOE0B8B.
Can you please confirm:
Is this the NE160QDM-NM7 / BOE0C24 Mini-LED panel compatible with the Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16IRX8?
Are the connector position, mounting brackets, and eDP cable requirements the same as my current NE160QDM-NZ3 panel?

Also it isn't listed in you're item description but just to be sure is this screen a Mini-LED screen?

Thanks guys

Syncthing ignoring .stignore rules for game configs / endless conflict loops

Hey everyone,

I’m running into a massive headache trying to keep my game saves synced between devices while keeping my graphics/resolution settings local. The game runs on Unreal Engine.

Syncthing keeps pushing changes back and forth, generating massive conflict backup lists (Engine~..., GameUserSettings~...) in my .stversions folder because it keeps ignoring my ignore rules.

Here is what I am currently running in the ignoring files section for both my laptop and pc

(?d)Config
(?d)ImgGui
(?d)Logs
(?d)*.USHADERPRECACHE

Even after doing the database wipe, Syncthing eventually picks the files back up and overrides the ignore block anyway. Just keeping both windows devices to have the same graphical settings even though I really don't want them too.

Has anyone dealt with stubborn game config folders overriding .stignore? Is there a specific syntax I'm missing, or do I need to switch to an inclusion pattern system like !Savegames followed by * to force it?

Any help to keep me from going completely mad is appreciated!

[Question] Weird growth inside my iPad front camera, getting worse over time

I noticed this weird cloudy/growth-looking spot around my iPad Pro front camera about a year ago and thought it might be condensation, but it never went away and has slowly gotten worse over time and now the selfie camera is almost unusable. The first two photos are from a year ago and the other ones with more growth are from today.
Does this look like fungus, trapped moisture, adhesive breakdown, or something else? Is there any way to fix it without replacing the whole iPad, and would it end up going into other components of my iPad and damaging it more?
Would appreciate advice from anyone who repairs iPads or has seen this before.

Has anyone taken ENGL 203 with Karen Bourrier?

I’m thinking of taking the class and just wanted to know how people found her teaching style, grading, and overall workload. Is the course pretty manageable, or is it heavier than expected?

Thanks.

Also I suck at English.
