Hello,
Per title, just for a little context, I am hooking up a GPU through the m.2 slot in this machine and the bios by default would switch to this external GPU, disable the iGPU entirely. This mean I cannot use the internal screen at all.
I'm 90% sure it is due 1 specific setting in video configuration, where you can select the primary video processor, and the preferred mode would be Hybrid
I'm also 90% sure there is such setting in the bios, just hidden away in 'god know how to access' advance mode that you need cryptic code to unlock.
I have tried the f1-1-q-a-z-f2-2... til f6-6-y-h-n , the hold fn+tab during boot, the Crtl+S (which, unlock 1 setting, the VMD controller).
SecureBoot is disabled.
So, before any actual bios mod, I wonder if there is any way to access this "advance tab" that I have not tried
Bios version v1.14
Laptop SFG14-73
Intel Ultra 5 125H
I have also look at the PCB and found what's most likely to be the bios chip, it is an 8SOP marked with 580A-UWLI, which by google I think it's an 8Mb flash chip, product number GT25Q80A-UWLI-TR.
Just in worst case scenario, would a Chinese CH341A with 8sop clip allow me to get the bios dump from this chip (assuming this is the correct chip), and what's the likely chance I can get access to this "hybridgraphic" option if I mod the bios,
Kinda desperate for this as this is one of the sole reasons I bought this laptop, so any help is very appreciated.
If i miss any required information please let me know.
Attached is the mention chip
