Hello. Can somebody help me with this BIOS mod? I can pay for a successful BIOS mod.
I’ve been intrigued a lot about why anything above GTX 680M/K5000M Kepler won’t work on this LVDS Clevo X7200 laptop?
For example Nvidia Quadro K3100M, GTX 780M, 880M, 970M, 980M won’t work in the master slot, despite having the same LVDS port for the internal screen.
These cards do support legacy and legacy oprom.
Even I got a GTX 970M, 980M and Quadro P5200 to work in the slave slot! With Legacy and UEFI VBIOSes. The BIOS recognized them as the 2nd NVIDIA GPU. Even the RTX 4070 MXM was detected!!
So my point is… There’s maybe a whitelist of GPUIDs for the master slot or maybe there's something during the post.
But some could say that the GTX 700M to 900M needs some partial support for UEFI in order to work and display… Even though these generations support both legacy and UEFI.
I removed GOP/UEFI image on the Maxwell cards I own and the laptop doesn’t post still! I even edited my Maxwell cards VBIOSes GPUID. Replaced them with some Fermi GPUIDs (280M and 5000M for example). No post again! Laptop stays on with fans at idle
It’s not about the LVDS port and not about the VBIOS. It’s about the BIOS.
Is there a way to remove the GPU whitelist from that Phoenix BIOS? So we can add a GTX 980M or M5000M as the best card in terms of LVDS compatibility?
I see that the 1st gen “core i” Alienware M15X can support up to a GTX 980M/M5000M…
Even the Clevo X8100 and Clevo M980NU (PM55 chipset) support up to a GTX 980M in LVDS, in the master slot.
Here’s the Clevo X7200 BIOS that was taken from the SOP8 F25L16PA chip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CPea1hd...hZhEN/view
Please help me... I have searched on the old NBR forum, on notebooktalk and there are no informations about such bios editing and unlocking.
