    The picture might be the only problem...but. This cap looks like its bloaty headed...is it?
  2. Eban
    You did post it before...but its cool enough for a replay

    I agree. Not normal behaviour. My 980m was pretty much plug'n'pray....Your Ranger is possessed I think

    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

    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.
