Had a NUCELO-F302R8 around, used it for the onboard STLink v2.
Broke out 'reserved' programming pins (SB4, SB6, SB8 and SB10) for SWD. Connected to STLink v2 clone.
Programmed DAPlink bootloader (stm32f103xb_bl_crc.bin) to 0x8000000 and firmware (0257_stm32f103xb__0x0000.bin) to 0x800C000.
Kept going into bootloader, jumpered 'button' (CN4-pin5 to JP1-pin1).
lsusb shows 'NXP ARM mbed' (okay text bug but works!).
Fired up 'opocd', installed 'nrf52' package.

To start:

screen /dev/ttyACM0 338400

To stop: <Ctrl> + A then k and yes.
To scroll up/down: <Ctrl> + Escape then up/down arrow to scroll. Escape to exit.

• Confirmed that Y480 has single-channel LVDC from motherboard, Y580 had dual channel. Cannot just replace LCD with Full HD as its missing controller signals. Bummer.
• Find compatible Full HD screen replacement
• Find VGA-to-LVDS controller board to fit where DVD drive was located. Remove DVD drive and permanently fasten cover.
• Find (slim) VGA cable to solder from motherboard to VGA controller board
• How to turn off display when standby, etc?
• How to adjust brightness via OS? If VGA output is used, backlight is off. sigh.
• Processor has provisions for eDP and second channel LVDS but none are populated.
