doodifer Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Has anyone gotten their ultra-bay sli graphics card to work for the Ideapad y510p? i got mine today, it powers up, fan spins(fan also speeds up when you run the dust removal tool), it gets warm. but its detected nowhere.

sergioosh Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Did you buy the Ultrabay GPU separately from the laptop itself? I know people who did that have problems getting it to work. From what I've heard Lenovo did a really stupid thing and they have hidden the option to turn on and off the ultrabay GPU in BIOS , and the value is set in factory.

octiceps Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It's most likely an issue with the Ultrabay vBIOS. Follow the relevant threads on NBR and stay tuned. There are people in the same boat as you trying to figure this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Go into The NVIDIA Control Panel than to "Set SLI and Physx Configuration" and set the SLI Configuration radial to "Maximize 3D Performance"Does that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proxyep Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 don't know if this is relavant but when i took my factory installed ultra bay out, and then reinstalled it, windows booted up with a black screenthe next few boot ups had like weird errors and took ages but now it is back to normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detonator_x Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 mine stopped working today. I take it out when im at work for longer battery times, then pop it in when I need to play games at home. however, today, I put it in and its not being detected anywhere. seems the fan is on but not detected on device manager or NVidia control panel.... running win8 (not 8.1) with latest vbios as well. hate havng issues on a 2 month old computer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceTheeGamer Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm having the exact same issues on my y400 (with 650m ultrabay). I wonder if this is the same problem...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
