here it is the worlds most expensive key chain hahaha, i only used the die part only.

Hello I have download all drivers from Dell and bought an English W7 so i can get reed of my Chinese system. So far i know everything in how to proceed, except that it seems there is not a video camera driver on Drivers cd and neither on dell website Any ideas be appreciated thanks

See that was the problem with the m11x R1 vs R2. The layout of the case and MB had changed. Therefore couldn't use the old one. If their is a m14x R2, it will really depend on the updated features. I doubt we will get a r2 for a while. Why.. 1. the video is latest nvida offering 5xx vs older 4xx. 2. Only the 6770 ati offering would be as compatible thermally. 3. Size and MFG? are any of the ATI cards "all in one" mb and gpu combos? So why would they release an R2? If I could wish on a star.. I know most of you like the nvidia cards. I am not a fanboy either way but the ATI cards REALLY impress me. I loved the 5850 and the OC ability. It put the smack down on most notebook gpu's. It's seems like for the longest time the only competition to the 5850/5870 were other 5850/5870 cards. (until the 6970). I would really like to see an R2 with an ATI 6850 (maybe even lower clocked if needed). This card pushes over 2200 in 3dmark11 stock. Overclocked you could easily hit 25xx or 26xx (close to the old 5850). I would trade mine right now for a 6850 m14x offering. I got credit and ready to spend if needed. so if your listening alienware... m14x 6850 ati or 7 series maybe? better screen (higher quality) option for added fan/cooling instead of optical drive 9 cell battery instead of 8 get to it please! I am will be happy to assist if you are able to pay my hourly rate!

No No NO!! You dont have to keychain it its crazy. Just get a pm25LV010 serial eeprom from your local electronic hw store or ebay... Or desold it from yours ( i using a dremel gas solder with the heat blow tip , is not causing ESD) 2min heating gently, moving around the eeprom then just grab with a metal tweezers from its side and ez lift it up (don't forget ground yourself) get an eeprom programer (willem pcb50B) will do. grab a vbios from save or from the net and flash the eeprom than sold it back ready No keychaining involved..... 2nd option if you got a working card, desold both eeproms make bridge outside 8 pice of wire from the card itself. Lead them it out from the case, attach the working eeprom until boot. Then hotswap-it to the incorrect one, and flash vbios. I also did that a few times Thats probably the ezyest and dont need to go buy fancy equipment. You should be safe below 200c 392F over that usually they die. if you need help pm me i did that before...

Yes, it's soldered to the mobo. When you tilt the mobo a bit and look at it from a different angle, you'll see how the PCB with the die on it is directly on the mobo PCB. It's BGA soldered, all the solder joints (quite a lot) are below this square, you can't see them. The vbios is (as far as I know, maybe a M14x user can confirm this) part of the system bios. That's usual for systems with on-board GPUs, since it allows you to simplify things and use less components. Therefore no, a new GPU (even if the pin layout of the die was magically the same) would not work because of the bios. In addition to this, all the integrated circuits on the mobo can't be changed, and it's almost impossible that the 555m circuit design is suitable for any different die.

Too bad that he had to take his life after the treatment he received. Could have had a lot more progress in computing had he been around.

You don't need drivers for the camera, Windows will install their own.

I am working on it so we can have it ready within the week, standby folks
