nobody?

I wanted to ask you people (help) wich BIOS (if there is one) could I flash in a 4gb MXM 980M to make it work stable with an alienware 17 ranger. Thanks a lot

Did anyone test it? any mod done?

Hello ppl, an alienware 17 came to my hands with a problem with the LVDS EDP demux in bad condition, it shows video through the ports but not at the LCD. I wonder if any of you did repaired a motherboard with the same problem once ( or twice) and would give me some tips about what to check or wich smd components could have the guilty of the problem.

Could some one tell me if is possible to flash an alienware r9 m290x with a imac r9 m290x vbios? If so, could some one uploadd one ? thanks.

could someone upload the stock vbios versions as well? thanks.

Mine:

980m 84.04.22.00.10.zip

Does it work with external screens? I've got tons of problems with different inf files from different users (anyway, thankful with them)

Edit: aw17 2005 60Hz screen and w8.1

What about the AW17 4gb 980M's vbios dump? nothing yet?

So, we have a vbios problem here....

When you say "recognize", do you mean being able to go into the BIOS screen and see the card listed as "980M"? (My laptop recognises my 670MX even though it's from a later generation if the definition is being able to see it named correctly in the BIOS screen).

EDIT: Actually, I'm mistaken, just checked my BIOS screen and it just says NVidia GFX, so I guess that's what you mean by the BIOS not recognising a card but still working?

No, that doesn't mean BIOS doesn't recognize it, actually it does. AW BIOS recognize as NVidia GFX 8xx series too, as far I know.

I have AW 17 (R5 if you wanna call it that ) I am going to upgrade to 970M from 765M So

Do i need new 240 watt adapater ?

Do i need 3 pipe heat sink ?

Do i need to modify the vBIOS or just modified driver ?

Thank you very much for your support !

No, 240W is perfect

Yes, you need 100W heatsink

No, just install the 980 modified driver

You're wellcome!

Ummm maybe I should had said this: before was possible to activate 3D on Nvidia panel, I had to activate 3D on Windows "Screen resolution" panel.

I have an AW17 without 3D panel (because my asus is) but with external and without activating it at windows configuration, was missing from my Nvidia panel.

Just try.

Ummm, mine is an aw17 and didn't work... (tested with the nv 344.75 installer)

svl7 could you upload your 344.75 drivers and share them with us?

Hi, could you tell me if 3D will work on an external screen connected by displayport dual link, thanks.

Had you tried in aw17???? If yes, which bios for laptop did you used???

Installed at aw17 r5 with 14a BIOS, driver must be installed manually.
