Yeah, not yet. I'll do that as well asap.

Once that vbios is ready I'll go ahead and do the 8.1 upgrade, thanks for your help!

The update for the 750M ultrabay gpu vbios is out now to support 8.1:

NVIDIA GeForce GT750M Second VGA BIOS Update for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - IdeaPad Y410p, Y510p

Can we get a modded version of it as well?

How about you guys stop using Windows 8.1 and just go back to 8? Seems like the logical thing to do until this is sorted out since this is obviously a big deal and much more system-breaking than not having the latest OS update. And what's so great about 8.1 anyway that's worth going through all this suffering?

While I'm not normally the kind of person that runs away from new tech just because of a few bugs, this is what I did because I'm just not in for the headache.

Oh god. I was up WAY too late. Didn't mean the bezel. Meant the screen /facepalm

haha, alright, that makes a lot more sense

I got my 7260 in and it's a huge improvement so far with BT/Wifi connectivity issues being non-existent.

Great, can you confirm return to the original BIOS (before patch)?

Thanks

I don't make it a habit of needlessly flashing the BIOS on any machine so I'm not going to do so for now. However, other people have already confirmed that in the unlock thread if I'm not mistaken.

Does anyone know how to remove this LCD's bezel without taking the whole laptop apart? I want to wrap the bezel in something matte (3M Scotchprint 1080 Matte Black more than likely) because the glossiness is driving me nuts. I've searched around and the only thing I can find is the hardware repair manual which says you have to strip the whole machine down to get it off. Anyone have any ideas?

Strange. My bezel is matte, not glossy. It's one of the reasons that I bought it. Love me some matte screens.

I really REALLY hate the gloss around the LCD, I would love something matte & pre-cut to fit around the screen. The Carbon shell is nice too.

But how to save my Windows 8 key when I do not see it at the BIOS:02:?

Thanks

how did you do backup of BIOS!?

I see this flickering in various places in certain games myself, FFXIV for example. The best thing to do is to enable "Adaptive" vysnc and play in Windowed(border-less if available) and that generally eliminates it completely. I have reported this to NVIDIA and they are aware of it happening on some setups at the very least. I will mention however that I never got the flickering on 326.80 but have been seeing it ever since, so it certainly appears to be a driver issue.

I will send you some pictures on PM.

P.s. dont forget to use only the best thermal compound like MX-2, MX-4 or Noctua NT-H1

I actually just ordered this same card tonight for mine after getting bios/vbios unlocked and ready to play ball, I will let everyone know how it goes I will be testing 5Ghz for N and not AC but it should answer the question on functionality at least.

My new 7260 is on it's way and the BIOS is modded and ready to roll, I'll report back here and let you guys know how it goes.

edit - nvm

Here's hoping they can make a 120Gb one avaliable soon. I'd love to run the OS on that and just use the 1Tb for storage

Almost got my y510p through xoticPC and they have an option to upgrade the screen to a 95% gammut screen for +$165. Wondering if anyone has done this, and how difficult it would be to upgrade the screen myself, where I would find one etc.

I wish you could replace the glossy bezel with a matte one as well, that's the one thing I don't like about it.

Ok, I will send you some pictures disassembled 750m graphic card and my MX-2 thermal paste:snicker:

I'd like to see this as well, I'll be doing both of mine this weekend hopefully.

I've had a lot of improvement with the latest NVIDIA beta drivers, have you given those a shot?

I have far less issues with this once I run most games in Windowed(border-less preferably) on my 510p w/ SLI 750's. The newest NVIDIA drivers have also cleared up the strange auto brightness issues on battery incase anyone is wondering

I'm having the same issues with this wireless card, I will be replacing it ASAP once I get the BIOS unlocked and all per this post.
