Gress10 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I have a 17R SE and I flashed a vBios to overclock the GPU (GT 650m) and it failed. I called Dell and they said they will have a technician come out and replace the motherboard for free. My question is about the actual GPU. Is it on the motherboard itself? Or is it Seperated? Thanks for any answers, they are greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slayer305 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Yes, the 650m is soldered on the mainboard so it needs to be changed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariusRZR Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Unfortunately the GT650M is stuck to the motherboard. I was looking into an upgrade with an MXM3 card. But apparently, it can't be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam gsfa Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 All that's left is to replace the BGA chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
