mtvgt Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi guys, i have m18x R1 model with A05 unlocked bios and i try to connect ati mobility 4870 card/s. I read ton of posts but people that seem to have similar problem with different card didn't post any solution. Case is when i connect 4870 i get black screen and 8 beeps. When i use only integrated graphics (no cards installed) laptop is starting normally. When i use integrated graphics (nvidia card installed as master) laptop is starting normally. When i use nvidia card installed as master laptop is starting normally. When i use nvidia card installed as master and ati 4870 installed as slave laptop is starting normally but in devices manager i see there is error 10 with ati card. When i use ati 4870 card installed as master i get 8 beeps and black screen. I tried to google for answers but unfortunatelly didn't find any. Do you know if that old card can work in m18x ? Maybe it's not supported at all? Do you have any ideas what else can i try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvgt Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 UPDATE Small but progres, i changed UEFI setting from disabled to enabled and laptop starts with 4870 as master but there is no backlit of LCD. Any ideas? I don't want to mess around with more BIOS settings on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
