typically its the ram or cmos battery, you can try 1 stick each in different slots to see if it boots(I know you said you tried ram but maybe its just 1 slot) and then you can try a cmos reset. just google cmos reset for your model. if this doesn't solve your issues it may be the screen connector or even worse a faulty screen. just try to narrow down the part.

 

do you get beeps? does the fan come on?

 

alot of times the beep or light pattern can tell you whats wrong

ok thanks am to update u abt that otherwise when i try to reach out to these eurocom people this is their reply """ 

We stress tested both your laptop and GPU so both were fully operational. You just need to use proper GPU (GTX 1080 or RTX 2080) in your Sky X9C. RTX 3080 is not supported. 
 
Usage of non supported hardware not listed on our website voids warranty.
 
RTX 3080 won't boot in Sky X9C - it only works in Sky Z7 R2.
 
So please use supported GPU for your laptop"""
SO AM STUCK COULD IT BE THAT FIRMWARE OF THE GPU CARD IS UPDATED THAT ITS NOLONGER PLUG AND PLAY LIKE BEFORE BASED ON THEY REPLY HOW TRUE COULD THIS BE PLEASE AM STUCK SINCE I CANT TEST ALL ITEMS SEPARATELY IMG_20230405_171839.thumb.jpg.b477a83a9872e23ed51b6abc7aa4e4bc.jpg

Terrible thermal pads placement...the contact with the die is very poor. Use softer thermal pads.

Brother I hate to say it but it sounds like a faulty motherboard if the ram swaps and cmos reset didn't do the trick. not alot it could be

 

the last and only thing it could be is power.

I would take it to a repair shop so they can do multimeter readings on it to see if its the mother board

The 3080 isn't supported UNLESS you have a Prema BIOS or the Dsanke BIOS. The computer won't boot with the stock BIOS and a 30 series card. You should get a BIOS programmer and flash the BIOS on there manually. There are many tutorials online of how to go about doing that.

As for that fan cable, it is meant for the non-existent 4th fan for the CPU on the TM models. I believe it uses a lower voltage than the regular CPU fan header, so don't plug anything into it.

Is a bios mod realy requiered? @Developer79 say it is not necesary.

To be honest he could just flash Dsanke bios with a programer and try. No harm can be done at this point.

I can repeat it again with pleasure, no matter if Prema or Dsanke Bios, for the operation of RTx30xx series it is not necessary to have a modified Bios on the laptop. On both P870xx and P775xx laptops only "Unknow" card appears in the bios menu and the rest goes normally. When installing the driver, you only have to do a small step more. It depends on what drivers you install. I have been using only desktop drivers for years. I recently installed the latest 535.98, and even with Dsanke Bios a clean installation is only possible with driver deactivation. That is my experience. So it doesn't matter how you do it, from my point of view, the driver installation works either way in the same time frame!...I don't know why people always think it can't be done 🙂

Of course, that's what Eurocom says! After all, they are not developers or engineers or hobbyists! In the series P870DM23 / KM / TM is bios sided original from Clevo everything in order only you need either a new heatsink from Aliexpress or appropriate adapters with which you can screw the original heatsinks normally with the RTX30xx series and some processing of the heatsink! Then it can already start with the operation!:-)

do you have backlight ? if u put usb drive with a led light in it, does it blink ? synthom without ram are the same? without gpu?

 

without ram or gpu it should act different.... like with no ram beep; if it is still the same is cpu compatible ? installed properly ?

 

it should support till serie 7 of intel if bios is original.

I think that beeing a TM it will support only 8 and 9th series on stock bios.

yes, that's exactly how it is! And with hardware mods the 10th gen notebook. See VictorV Mods. But that only works because the electrical phases of the different generations are the same. Otherwise you would need a new motherboard with the appropriate multiphase design...

Ok, if your store is familiar with modifying such laptops, then everything fits!
