It’s probably me, but I can’t find the zip file with the vBIOSes. I don’t know the reason behind the lack of fan control but I’m relying on custom made external solution and it works great.

You might source eDP parts from DELL M6600. I think it has the same connector and the cable might be of use. I say might, because I think that it has color board which would make the cable shorter and the output might be custom (i.e. not eDP display standard). You have to double check that with multimeter and the schematics in hand. Good luck!

That's nice, but how do you made it to run the BIOS chip, since I know these require some modding, or it came like that? I have a D revision myself and I'm contemplating on modding it and make it run in my machine. Which one works best, or all of them? So it works with the DreamColor, that's good to know. Some nice mods. Which DAC you have used, does it has ESS Sabre in there? I made a mod of external sound card using eGPU stuff and Creative SondBlaster AE-9 which was working, but then fried it during additional modding. I'm not sure I want to go that way again. It was awesome, but also made my laptop a desktop, so I'm looking for something more integrated. I'm using Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio notebook now, but I have other plans for the ExpressCard, so that's why I'm looking at the options. Yes, the stock speakers are terrible. I'm planing on modding them as well. Good luck with these!

Great work @Mashcar! I have a few questions - which revision is your P5200 (picture of the board would be nice) and which vBIOS you are using? Do you use the DreamColor screen? Where did you get the soldering paste (RL-404)? Thank you and keep up the great work!

Price drop. Open to offers.

In 2020 I used an N-GAGE Classic (the taco) for about a month or more, because I broke my then main phone. I also have another N-GAGE, as well as 2 N-GAGE QDs (one silver edition), N93 and N95 8GB. As for network, 2G is still a thing around here, can't tell for how long though.

Rocking a HP ZR30w. Got it for the 10bits and 2560:1600 16:10 display. What makes it shine compared to other contemporary (similarly priced, since I got it second hand) 30" monsters is lack of OSD. Well that is a bit of a drawback but it more than compensates with the reduced input lag, again compared to other 30 inchers.

That was the plan, but things changed "a bit". Also these 16gigs would've been more than enough for 1200p, hell even for 1600p (my external). Oh well. Thanks! Thank you very much!

Thank you guys! Much appreciated 🙂

Hi there, New here, but it feels like home seeing that good old stuff are still up and running 😀 I'm still using my trusty 8740w for those of you that remember me, and for those who don't, well it's in the sig. Still using it on external* and looks more like desktop than a laptop. I'll try to put it together though... hopefully 😅 *Pascal and DreamColor don't play nice with this machine under Windows at least.

Price: €450 Condition: Used Warranty: None Reason for sale: I need the money Payment: PayPal Item location: Sofia, Bulgaria Shipping: FREE International shipping: FREE Handling time: 2 working days Feedback: None Specification: It's a "D" revision of the HP's P5200 MXM, so it's a bit trickier to modify in order to accept vBIOS. I did try to just solder a BIOS chip but it didn't work. I think there's a forum member with the right knowledge to make it happen. Not to mention that my system is a bit picky when it comes to output since it's not exactly eDP, rather DP driven LVDS converter board with a 10bit display to make it more fun. Anyway the card was brand new when I got it, now it has some K5 Pro residue, that's why I'm listing it as used, although it has like half an hour in total in the laptop, acting like dead, because without BIOS it is. I don't exactly want to part with it, but I'd rather have the money at this point in time. UPDATE (07Mar2025): Thanks to @GuitarG for supplying the vBIOS, I managed to run this GPU in my system. Sadly it still refuses to drive the internal screen. I made a few Time Spy runs, just to test it out. It runs fine I guess for my old hardware. I've uploaded a few more pictures. Auto-fan control works, which is bizarre! I'd rather trade that for having working internal, but it's not how it works 🙂 Currently the card has a vBIOS chip and has a DELL 110W vBIOS. UPDATE (09Mar2025): I may have word it incorrectly - sadly it's the DreamColor that's the problem, or the drivers, or both. It works fine on it while using the basic driver and during boot time. Once the driver is installed it works up until the Login screen and that's it. Then it switches to the external. So it works, just not with my setup. Similar behavior has the GTX 1070. The price has been updated as well.

Thanks for the vBIOSes! Would love to hear about the WX7100 compatibility.
