    Did you manage to resolve this? Just been updating my 8570W with a 965M Type A card, also has no output on screen or on a VGA cable / monitor. As far as im aware it is N16E-GR-A1 which should work with HP, Zbook, dell 7710 etc. so i dont think its a bad card. But would appreciate insight. just to add, swapped back the k1000m (but broke a ribbon cable clip in process(do they even sell these clips separate?) and the laptop fires back into life and works fine.

    Well, after much work, i finally had time to put the 965M into the 8570w. All seemed to go ok, However, No output on screen or from the VGA port on the side either. However i can hear the machine spinning up, fan goes full then slows down ( so not getting the fan full speed issue). Whilst i know it needs the driver to be present, im not getting any output. Beginning to suspect the GPU is bad, so will refit the K1000M back in. I verified it was in UEFI mode on Windoze before i went to dissasemble so could it have reverted in Bios? well much late night tinkering (this time with coffee) 😉 and k1000m back in and all works again. Ugh, so seems a 965m output/inf issue? I7-3940xm has no intelhd so no basic output co try and get machine to like the new card

    Nice work, I'm intruiged why the standard 1000M MXM card detected the new screen and not the plethora of different cards youve had in that machine. 4K screen in a 3rd Gen elitebook is waaaay cool. Still gotta find time to throw the 965M into my 8570W (i know i'll have the backlight issue to fix when i do) if you an let me know the screen serial / component number i can order and try on my 965M when i get a chance

    Another idea, probably daft as sleep deprived and caffeine was no bueno that late. But with all the screen mods, would something like a 840 G9 elitebook mobo work shoehorned into a spacious 8570W or 8770W shell. in theory its still 40 pin screen connector and keyboard / trackpad should be viable. Akin to the framework / frankenpad ideas elsewhere. Happy to be shot down on the idea.

    Hi All, Not quite a G2 user yet, but rocking an older 8750W elitebook with the 965M (type A) Mod. I did consider the 980M (Type B) and the 1050 (type A) as options on par with the M2200 card called out here, I'm intruiged of the Maxwell Bios Mod Can anyone share any further details? Also with the NVFlash beyond having correct NVIDIA drivers to enable card to work, are there any VBIOS images for the GTX 965M card needed to flash it?

    i have 1866mhz DDR3L's in my 8570W, CPU-Z shows as 1600mhz in Mempage, but in SPD page they are 899x2 so 1800. Not sure if they can be OC'd would love to know as i still havent found a set of 2133's yet, they are proving to be tooo elusive.

    as an 8570W owner (baby brother of the 8770w) im intruiged as to some of the mods, Nice work so far I'm currently running i7-3940XM, 32Gb (1866mhz HyperX) Samsung 870 4Tb & 1TB MSata SSD with a 965M MXM card. Love the lid cover too umbrella Corp 🙂 is there any data on Custom cable and display? i know my Mobo maxes out at 980M or 1060M MXM cards. running a normal display not the DC one.

    Finally my 965M Type A arrived (yay), second try, first one never existed from buyer..... long story. Running the 3940XM and 1866 DDR3L ram nicely. also running a 200w brick so i dont run out of juice. Time to crack open the case (again) PTM 3950 and MX-4 at the ready.... Did anyone ever work out the CPU fan JST plug pin pitch? i think its JST-GH (1.25mm P-P) Also did anyone have success with CoreBoot for 8570W? Apologies for all the questions. 🙂

    my K1000M was always pushed hard hence looking at 965M upgrade 😄 That said with the Alchemist cards they must be "outputting" to something the MoBo has on the MXM card edge so why wouldnt it work with the elitebook?
  10. Daedalus
    Actually was looking at this card trying to work out how the DVD port allows addressing and the ODDBay GPU output back to the screen as it doesnt appear to have edge HDMI or any connector on DVD bay side.
  11. Daedalus
    was the driver update done post or pre card install? i see some users have backlight issues until drivers are done. I have the latest 965M nvidia driver and also NVFlash files for it, so hoping for some level of success wen i drop the 965M card in. I know its not going to be as simple as drop the card in like some YT vids seem to show. On a different note, did anyone get the MSATA ssd card to boot via bios edits??
  12. Daedalus
    thanks for that, yep that was the earlier pages i was referring to which showed the fan without chassis sat in the DVD bay i couldnt quite see from the pics the cable feed from fans hence the ask 🙂 . i can see various Aliexpress splitter leads for desktop machines but the tiny tiny JST on laptops is sooo much smaller. i could mod the current fan but would be happier with a splitter as it reduces the risk of frying fan IC. however Both fans will only be seen as one. obviously cant be set at different speeds as they are one fan port. To create a splitter isnt impossible for us awesome soldering skills, just finding the connectors to create a solution. Even taking the 5v line from DVD port give power but PWM control is only via CPU fan so both will rotate the same RPM (i think).
  13. Daedalus
    Are there any pics of the dual fan lead? i saw the fan mod in the now vacant DVD bay as 980M negated DVD port and ability to use. I'm trying to search Ali and google to identify what the fan connector (tiny what looks like JST) port on the mobo to see if a dual splitter lead exists to take from the Fan connector by CPU. Although something make me think the DVD port 5v was used? Now ive secured a 965M im tempted to run the GPU H/sink mod on the "A" type card to improve the cooling.

    Nice work for 27$, 8770W? What screen did it come with? now you can try the full size cards. Oh, Managed to track down a 965M A finally so im almost catching up. The 965M card is from a Clevo, should that cause me any issues in working with the HP? i dont think its got whitelist issues? N16E-GR-A1 is the GTX core. has N16E-GR V2.1 4gb -77-P75DL-D02 on sticker. just wanted confirmation before i order.

    Just an update, Now running the 3940XM Core with TPM9750 and the 14900 / 1866 DDR3L HyperX ram (32Gb) couldnt find the uber-rare 2133 sticks....yet. Ram was easy, forgot the whole top cover comes off for CPU. although seeing some YT video's some of the lesser elitebooks have no black plastic or reduced frame web in the middle so CPU/GPU cooler can come out. Anyone reduced a 8570W frame to assist component removal without top case removal? So that was fun. Still on the hunt for 965M type A, i did notice the 1050M exists in type A and it seems more easy to obtain, would there be any reason why it wouldnt work in the 8570?
