VintageModMan Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 so I bought this laptop used, and the nvidea card is not detected in the bios, I've tried 4 different dell bios' but still cant detect it. in the preboot self diag I get 0 errors any help would be appreciatedI have the m17xr4 and had a whole slew of issues with my audio card. It would show that it was connected them sometimes it wouldn't. Turns out after opening it up my sound card was loose it wasn't driver related at all. So you may want to open it and see that everything is seated properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidastra Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 well I've already had it opened, the gpu is soldered to the board and can't be removed, I even tried heating it to attempt a reflow but that did nothing either thanks for the suggestion though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
