Well first of all you need the backlight mod v2 cable. Secondly Cicichen sells them on ebay for 165USD and your upgrades are complete!

I got an RTX 4080 MXM to work on this laptop with the backlight mod v2 and a custom heatsink from Cicichen. The temps were excellent and performance too. The 4080 is a big improvement over the 2080 in terms of performance but this MXM GPU costs like 800€ alone. You can get the RTX 4070 for cheaper, for 500€. They are brand new cards with 1 year of warranty from X-VSION and ZRT. The max CPU you can get is the I9 9900K/KF CPU or the Xeon E-2286M (modded CPU). The Xeon is the cheapest option. The I9 9900K/KF are like between 150-200€. Meanwhile the Xeon one is below 100€.

Precision M6700 owner's thread
SuperMG replied to Aaron44126's topic in Pro Max & Precision Mobile Workstation
Hello. I got the RTX 4080 and 4070 to work in the M6700 in eDP without iGPU. In UEFI with legacy OPROM disabled. DP and HDMI out are working, it depends in the VBIOS DCB Yes embedded MXM RTX cards display in eDP with my backlight mod v2 cable. It also fixes the issue with the ADLINK, PNY and Aetina Turing cards, where these card don't display anything on the eDP display. -

Just picked up a M17X R3 for £66 - Best upgrades that can be done?
SuperMG replied to DylSki's topic in Alienware 17 and M17x
If you can buy the fan (CPU or GPU?) + heatsink screen assembly + the bottom case today, sure why not. I also have the RTX 3000 MXM, could do it for 130€ alone. Buyer wants to pay 430€ in the next week for the whole R4 I was about to strip. Let me know -

You can search on ebay and message me. Just type Alienware M17X R4 FHD 120Hz screen. Edit: someone is interested into buying the whole laptop -
Finally the new RTX MXM cards will work in our laptops!
SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
It won't work because of the X-bracket offset. You need to contact Cicichen on ebay for that. Or you can buy the AliExpress one and drill holes to match the X-bracket offset, if it's possible. The backlight mod v2 is needed for all Clevo laptops using MXM and eDP screens. So P870 series, P775 series and P750 series. You can buy 2 for 2 MXM cards/laptops. Compatible with Ampere, Ada Lovelace and Blackwell GPUs from ZRT, ENBIK, AETINA, X-VSION, etc -

It's on ebay, I have the whole red nebula set, a working keyboard, a R4 GPU 100W heatsink. Ok for UK, it can be a bit expensive because it's outside of the Schengen. Yes I think you can swap for yours LED. I never tried that. I got the whole laptop used and complete. All the parts are working. -

I have them. Correct screen 50 pins and correct cables for webcam and eDP. No 3D emitter for it. 3D functionality doesn't work for Maxwell and above. -

@DylSkiI sell that if you want. It's the whole assembly + it's red nebula, doesn't have the 3D emitter though. Today I came back and I stripped apart a m17x R4 I had because no one wants to buy it. The assembly is compatible with R3 because it's the LGD02C5 screen. -

I tried with 3 different ones. Maybe it's my GPU? But that shouldn't be the problem?
