Hello to everyone, i found this old laptop for $10 in a second hand shop and i bought it and i upgraded it with an I7 920XM but the laptop starts, the fan goes to full speed and i get come code but i have black screen.
I try to check the Microcode support for my bios but sadly looks like the microcode for 920xm is partially implemented??

The I7 920XM dosen't have a dedicated GPU but i have an Nvidia 880M with MXM slot, it should not be a problem also for the chipset should be QM57 and i should support the I7 920XM if i am right.
My current bios Revision is F60 Rev A. Right now because i am not at home i don't have my eeprom programmer ( i work with cars ECU ) but i ordered a CH341A and it should arrive these days, I also already have a full backup of my bios if we can try with the bootable USB to upgrade the bios i will be so happy, maybe we will be so lucky
Also i use Liquid metal and Fan mod ( i soldered a switch to the Fan RPM control, when i work or play video games i usually turn that ON, also because i overclocked the GPU. Temp never goes over 55C for the CPU and the GPU around 60c. i also have 130W power supply and many Ram memories around.
I will upload the current backup of my bios and the bios installer.Exe for my laptop.
