    Just removing the cmos battery will not clear your bios. Scroll up and follow Mrfox's guide to clearing it. Changing the cpu should have done it also!?!?...weird.

    Got a multimeter? Look for a short
  3. Eban
    Oh there is another idea...did you plug the new battery in? remove it and try again if you did.

    Pink Floyd - Learning to Fly My Dad was a rock'n'roll head...Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Jimmy Hendrix etc....I seemed to gravitate toward Pink Floyd. Learning to fly was the very first song of theirs I ever heard and I always loved it. I never liked getting stoned, alcohol was my drug of choice but even without it I could listen to this for hours.

    My first idea would be check your BIOS setting. Full EUFI and PEG/SG mode? Did you get any error beeps? What happens if you install the old 880m? My next idea would be to clear the cmos....got a different cpu you can install? you can clear cmos with the dimm remove/replace method but that will take even more tear down to reach the underside SODIMM modules https://notebooktalk.net/topic/2153-geforce-gtx-980m-repair/

    Now your asking the old memories I myself already had an 14+ unlocked BIOS. You can get them right here if you want to try https://notebooktalk.net/topic/161-unlocked-bios-for-laptops/#findComment-1059 If I remember right you needed the laptop to be in full EUFI mode with no secure boot and unsigned drivers allowed. NVCleaninstall was hit and miss then so I always modified my own .inf files @ssj92 made a video on that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8igM5DcTukw and installing the actual card I found this on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvxiRFxikW0 @Maxware79 What did I forget?

    Hi Matt, I'm not sure about heatsinks for those cards. You used to be able to buy 5 pipe upgraded heatsinks from cicichen on ebay, but I can't see any listings from him now You also want at least 240W power supply...300W is better though. The original 180W won't run the MXM card at full power. I did the 120hz display at same time as 980m and its still going well.

    I dont really like this guy but here is a quick and dirty how to find different SMD components that are cactus. Start here and then ask for further information as required.

    Catcall - The World is Ours Again & Satellites Because - Just found by accident a few years ago.....but like these songs the best

    I bought a 980m from Aliexpress about 2017ish...lasted until 2020 then suddenly died. Apparently the VRM's are underpowered on these models. I really should look at repairing it but I don't use my Ranger much at all Aliexpress listing will say if it has vbios for Alienware! I skipped the 1060 and tried an MSI 1070m...requires cutting your chassis a bit.

    Johnny Cash - Hurt Because - Best cover ever. Trent Reznor even said the song no longer belonged to him.

    Sounds like a track pad issue

    A very hard visual check will most often NOT find the fault, even with a microscope.....you can get lucky but don't count on it. Try your phone on magnify and go over EVERYTHING. Twice. Without being able to power the laptop with card installed means you can't even use heat to pinpoint a shorted power rail component. A variable power supply would let you low power the card by itself to find a short, but I don't recommend you do that first. A cheap multimeter will get you a better idea.
