  1. I'm not familiar with the M18x POST codes, I assume 8 beeps is video card error? So far I've removed the GPU several dozen times in my system, and sometimes I got an error which indicated that the GPU is preventing the system from POSTing. Seems to be the same for you as it works when using the Intel iGPU. The MXM connector can be pretty delicate, most of the times it helps to simply remove the card, maybe clean the pins with rubbing alcohol or similar and then put it back carefully. One time I had to reseat a card about 5 times in order to get it working. I suppose you don't have any ESD protection... so at least make sure you peform a proper power drain before you do anything inside your machine.

  2. I'd say i7 2860QM or 2840QM (ES.. a bit more cheaper) if you can get one

  3. AFAIK it's Radeon 7970M. It's achievable with modding the GPU heatsink(if you have a GeForce GPU) or ordering the one for GX60 (CMIIW)

  4. I've had a chance to test MeSet.EXE today, with good results. Ok so here is what I have just done: I first put fpt.exe onto a bootable usb drive, and I tried to run the command "fpt -d dump". I got the standard error message "The host CPU does not have read access to the target flash area. To enable read access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region.". Then I ran MeSet.EXE, the notebook turned off and then back on and started beeping (it was still usable). So I tried the same command "fpt -d dump". This time it worked. I will attach the dump to this post.DUMP.zip Now I just have to read back through the thread and see what I can do, it's really good to know that I don't need a hardware mod or a key combo, all I need is MEset.exe. ______________________________________________________________________ Update time. I have modded my bios image following the guide in the OP, it's attached hereflashnow.zip. Then I restarted my notebook, ran meset.exe in dos, restarted again, ran the following command in dos "fpt -me -f flashnow.bin". I took a photo of the result. But I have no change in intel XTU, no bclk overclock, nothing new at all.
