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. -
Hello. Here are more pictures and testing with the backlight mod v2! PWM brightness control works. System tested: ALIENWARE M17X R4 UEFI 120Hz Heaven benchmark 4.0 1080p: 236FPS Furmark 1.37 1080p: 146FPS TimeSpy: 11365 graphics points

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. -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Yes. Source is max 1080p 60Hz. The cables I used, work with The HDMI in of a previous M18X R2 with Windows 10 I had. -

@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. -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Yes it says that but no signal just a backlight on. -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.

Tried with RTX 3080 and K3000M. I use windows 11 -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
I tried with 3 different ones. Maybe it's my GPU? But that shouldn't be the problem? -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.
SuperMG replied to SuperMG's topic in Components & Upgrades
Same results but the software on the 4h54n is different though. Maybe I need the xwh200 HDMI receiver to really test but it's expensive. For the HDMI in, it doesn't work for 120Hz eDP systems? I need iGPU? I get HDMI IN ON OSD but it doesn't display a video out. -
Alienware M17X R4 MXM upgrade for eDP 120Hz.

The SIMG SB92XX one from Dell.com. It redirect me to the Alienware 2013 laptops download link. The software is WiHD but it states "Not detected". Not sure if I use the software correctly. It's a niche tech that no one used. -
Yes leaked VBIOSes or VBIOSes straight from TPU or official generic VBIOSes from Nvidia. These companies need to respect the new Nvidia specs and design too. So this is weird.

I just contacted them thru their sales email. I don't know if it's possible to chain as they use avast email protection, don't want to get the mail flagged as spam. X-Vsion's Blackwell X-bracket layout would be the same as the Ada and Ampere ones. I hope they didn't lie there. We'll see in the future. Well backlight mod is needed for other laptops! A must if you want to use your new RTX cards in dGPU. I'm happy to change my M17X R4 3080, M4800 4070 and M6800 4080 brightness lol, looks clean.
