Ok. And you think it’s because I‘m on A04 Unlocked?

I'm not sure but the A05 unlocked that I sent you has all the modules in BIOS updated so it might help.

Do you know someone who has Dell 770m/765m or Clevo 770m working in M18X R1?

I do not. You can try contacting Eurocom since they sell 770M upgrade for M18xR1. 

 

I would try the unlocked A05 BIOS first. Then try a few vBIOS. 

 

Honestly 780M, 880M are best GPUs for M18xR1. 770M should work unless that specific one has issue. 

 

One thing to try is "SG" mode just to see if it boots up and shows up.
