G-Sync disabled after replacing broken screen on HP Omen 17

[karoid]

Hi,
I accidentally broke the screen on my Hp omen 17 An009tx laptop and had to replace it.

The original screen was innolux N173HCE-G32 rev C.1 (17.3" 120hz 40pin G-sync enabled).
it is an IPS panel with 25ms response times.

this screen was difficult to come by, so i searched and found N173HHE-G32 screen (17.3" 120hz 40 pin G-sync enabled) and it was a TN panel with 5ms.
I asked a couple people and they said it is compatible.

So i bought it and it works well, except there is no G-sync anymore.
anything i can do to make it work again? a Bios issue? whitelist issue?--> can i overcome this?

any help is appreciated

Stick to one thread, please!

You may want to try and uninstall and reinstall your GPU drivers are see if the functionality resurfaces. Did you contact HP for a replacement panel?

Sorry about that,intended to keep the latter only, thought it might be more hardware related.
yes i did reinstall the GPU drivers and no gain.

as for the screen, i did not get the replacement from HP, as i'm in middle east and the whole back and forth would take quite a long time. so I just ordered screen from amazon. apparently on their website, this laptop supposedly has HP compaq 922934-001 screen (which was not the case for my laptop and still had g sync)
