    You can use NVCleaninstall if you don't understand the editing of an .inf file.

    Do normal standard powered MXM GPUs work on this laptop? If yes, then it's ok. Yes Aetina, X-VSION, ZRT 4080/4090 and an eDP display would work. Since when 2070 Super MXM exist? Is that a Clevo variant with the power connector? It works out of the box without any flex FPC cable mod. You only have to edit the drivers .inf file or you can use NVCleaninstall to install the drivers easily.

    Good some news!! After playing around with EDID configurations and windows startup scripts, I managed to use an RTX 4080 MXM on a DP 1.1/1.2 2012 laptop! No more black screens after the loading screen! So the Ampère wasn't the maximum for this laptop! With a bit of trickery on the OS, I managed to get the RTX 4080 to work on my P570WM. Brightness control = working Sleep mode = working Saving mode = working No problem on the GPU side, full TDP boost. NVIDIA recognise it has a NON HDCP display, at 1080p 120Hz at 2.7Gbps and eDP. The 3080 doesn't have brightness control once the drivers are installed because it's a DP based output and not an eDP based one. (Could find a workaround on Windows to bring back the brightness control, depending if your motherboard supports that) For laptops using DP 1.3/1.4 (2014-2019), you don't need to do any modification regarding to your OS because your eDP screen is compatible with the newer bandwidths. I need to try to use the 4080 on the P870/Dell Precision 7720 to reconfirm that. All thanks to the flex FPC cable that allows such easy modification, no more soldering required for MXM eDP laptops! The cables are available for sale. Either PayPal friendly or on eBay + a pdf guide (DM me)

    If some of you didn't see. Hello, here are some news about the flex FPC cables! Yes I got them and I applied them easily on the GPU with my bare fingers. Here's the result, an RTX 3080 MXM (DP, non-eDP) inside a 2012 laptop's master MXM slot! 1080p 120Hz, Sleep/Saving modes work! Brightness control works for my laptop but it depends... maybe for yours it won't work. My laptop is using the DP 1.1 or 1.2 protocol. I tried the 4080/4090 (DP++), they worked, displayed on the main eDP screen but they failed the drivers installation because of a blackscreen after Nvidia checking the display/connectors. Because my laptop and its screen is too old to accept the obligatory DP++ (DP 1.3/1.4 protocol). Maybe a different vbios of the 4080/4090 with a basic DP or eDP would work on my laptop? If your laptop is from 2015-2019, the RTX 4080/4090 will work because yours is compatible with DP++. I'll test that using a P870 and a Dell Precision 7720. So yes, Nvidia Pascal isn't the best generation anymore for our MXM laptops, it's Ampère/Ada!

    RTX 3080 in a 2012 laptop's MXM master slot and it's outputting in eDP and HDMI. All thanks to the flex cable FPC blacklight mod v1

    I got the cables. They work with my P570WM. I tested the 4080. Cable 100% works for backlight. 278, 280 are always 3.3V_RUN. Sleep mode and brightness control works! but... It displays on windows without a driver but at the end... I can't install Nvidia drivers. DDU + install thru disk .inf file DDU + NVCleanInstall None work! Even restarting, I can see the bios splash, the windows loading screen and BLACK SCREEN! Although, I can access to the windows "safe mode" to uninstall the drivers, but it's not worth it because it'll again blackscreen once the drivers installation has been completed. I tried to use Anydesk, once the driver installed, it says the drivers have been installed successfully and on the device manager... I got an error 43 and the screen resolution was at 640x480 instead of 1920x1080 initially... EDIT: SAME HAPPENS WITH THE RTX 4090 HELP! This card was working fine as a slave card too... I don't understand guys, help please... Probably these cards have DP++ or something that's blocking display for the standard DP display I have. I'll test these cards on Dell Precision 7720 and P870 later on... EDIT: I TESTED THE RTX 3080 MXM... It works on the P570WM!!! 1080p 120Hz! Drivers installed successfully! Full TDP, no bugs! Sleep mode and saving mode work! I suppose the 3080 has basic DP and not DP++...
  9. SuperMG
    It'll work. Because Sliderfra tested the solder mod and his PNY RTX 3000 worked. PNY, ADLINK and AETINA share the same PCB, for 3000, 4000, 5000. Please compare the PCB and you'll understand

    News, the production of the v1 is finally finished! I'll receive the 35 pieces I have ordered in 5 days. I hope they better fit between the MXM slot and the MXM card! There's a 0.15mm total thickness so it's good! But will they work in the real world? Let's test! So yes. I'll save 3 pieces for myself and I'll list 32 pieces online. Either PayPal payments or on eBay.
  11. SuperMG
    This is how it looks like in real life.

    Eurocom sells some P570WM motherboards with eDP and its eDP display cable. The eDP connector is 30 pin. The motherboard costs like 500€ and cable maybe 20€. The only modification I did was making a new heatsink for the new RTX MXM GPUs.
  13. SuperMG
    New heatsink only works for newer RTX cards with the newer offset sadly. 150W heatsink. Yeah you can do 980M (master) + 3080/4080 (slave) Or get an eDP board

    Hello again. Sliderfra tested for me the 3.3V_RUN power to backlight pins mod. We tested 3 GPUs. M2200, worked and installed drivers (has backlights pins enabled on the card) RTX 3000 from PNY, worked and installed the drivers (which probably has DP++ since Aetina and Adlink are sharing the same exact PCB). RTX 4070 from XVSION, worked and installed the drivers (eDP, also the card showing wrong TDP, 600W, maybe it got damaged between shipping from 2 countries). The laptop we tested don't have brightness control on the motherboard. But it works, it displays on the main screen. So DP++ and eDP worked with the mod.

    News about the solder mod for backlight mods:
  16. SuperMG
    Does the main screen do eDP?
  17. SuperMG
    Hello. Flex cable allows to activate the blacklight pins on the MXM slot to the eDP connector. Without the blacklight pins being on, the screen stays off. Black screen, no display, etc. With this mod, you can install it on the new RTX Ampère, Ada cards. All of the cards have DP or eDP on port DP_D, the signals are ok but the cards are lacking the blacklight pins. The manufacturers don't care about laptop users. Basically we are forcing the powering of the blacklight pins so the internal eDP display will work.
  18. SuperMG
    Hello, thanks for replying. The sleep mode works when the lid is closed, the screen goes black then goes on when the lid is open. Power saving, needs testing, but it should work. For the brightness PWM control, as said, some motherboard have it integrated, some not. Yes, from now, I'm manufacturing 30 pcs of the solder-less mod, with the funds, I can make a v2 if people needs it. It'll be cheap too.

    When there's an iGPU + dGPU in a MXM system, it usually have a MUX switch between IGPU, dGPU and the LCD connector. I think when it's on iGPU, it'll disable everything that's related to internal display for the dGPU. Again, needs testing on this part. People who wants to use the newest non-OEM RTX GPUs, they don't really care about iGPU. They want dGPU performance 100% and display capabilities (internal and out). Some MXM laptops are lacking iGPUs capabilities too. My flex cable is version 1. Once more people will buy it and test it, I'll have some feedback and I can maybe make a version 2 with advanced PWM control? I heard some motherboard can't control the PWM. For example Clevo laptops have BRIGHTNESS_R and PANEL_PWM for the LCD connector. I assume it's connected to the motherboard for the brightness control.
  20. SuperMG
    Yes, you can put a manual potentiometer on the pin 27, for PWM lol. Yes when the laptop is in sleep mode, it just offs the power, depending on the laptop. The Clevo P570WM doesn't have a MUX switch for the LCD conn (eDP) I got confused for these points here: So you didn't test the GTX 1060 MXM on the laptop yet with the backlight mod? Because you said the vbios of the 1060 has HDMI for DP_C. Because I know the P3000 MXM has the backlight pads enabled and eDP on D.
  21. SuperMG
    Hello. Nice. So you got your MXM GPU with a basic DP out (not eDP) on DP_C to display on your eDP screen? And it worked like that? Does your laptop have a resistor or a PWM transistor on the motherboard? It's usually called BRIGHTNESS_R on Clevo. Could you remind me again what's the brand of your GTX 1060M? Zotac, right? Is it made for a laptop or for embedded use only? (Desktop, external output only). So you ended up using the P3000? Rather than the 1060M? You can maybe find a vbios that can allow DP_C for DP? Yes the backlight mod works for these cards since for no reasons they lack it... It's 3.3V power to the 3 pins. We're sending power to the 3 pins. By looking at the MXM slot diagrams, you see that these 3 pins are going the LCD connector at the end and NOT TO THE MXM CARD ITSELF!! You can also buy an RTX 4060/4070 from ZRT/X-VSION and have full eDP support. And I also said this before you comment now: There were 2 ways to bring "eDP support" Buy an RTX 3000/4000/5000 from HP, they have DP on all ports even on C. Or do the backlight mod by soldering. Edit: I found a vbios for GTX 1060 for the MSI GT72VR: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/191865/191865
  22. SuperMG
    I know why it doesn't display on the internal screen, the card is made for desktop use only, like the X-VSION and Aetina cards. That's why you still have some output on an external display. If you're lucky enough, your card may lack a DP_D on your vbios? Try and flash a HP ZBOOK G6 T2000 one and see how it behaves ? If it doesn't work, then your backlight pins aren't enabled on the PCB of the card and you need the flex cable mod for the backlight or... You can do the mod by soldering on the MXM slot pins. Hey there, not this attitude with me, okay? I'm trying to help this person and trying to get the newest RTX MXM to work in the laptops.
  23. SuperMG
    Hello again. You're telling me, an RTX Turing card with eDP on port D worked in your 2011 eDP laptop?? It means you can use an RTX 4070 MXM to work with your eDP display using my incoming flex cable mod for backlight enable. Yes Aetina cards lack the backlight pins so no display. Although they have DP on DP_D. A new vbios won't help the Aetina cards to obtain eDP support, it's hardware related.
  24. SuperMG
    Did you try the RTX 3000/4000/5000 from HP too? You can find cheap 3000 ones but I don't know if it'll fit or not. You said you can output thru HDMI, correct? What about DP?
  25. SuperMG
    Yeah I know that. But will it display in the bios too? I was more curious on this. Just sad the R3 bios is limited. The M6600 has UEFI correct? I think so, because someone managed to get an RTX Turing to display on the eDP screen.
