Gentlemen, no news about 4060?


Nope, not yet, I got Resizable Bar to work, but GPU is still not visible. I have tried to flash VBIOSes from other 4060-s and that didn't help too.

I think some Clevo BIOS modders could help, as I saw lots of RTX mods for older machines that didn't support those GPUs. It would help a lot if anyone here tries to get those modders "on board" so to speak, as I lack knowledge on this matter. 

 

This could be anything, maybe we need to patch PciBus DXE module, or it could be some other DXE module, who knows. That would need lots of knowledge and usage of tools like IDA Pro and/or GHIDRA.

That's too bad 😞 Thanks for your efforts!

If anyone knows or is an experienced BIOS modding enthusiast that has done GPU support patches before - please contact me or respond here, with the community effort this problem can be solved or we can at least find the root of it. Thanks.

After some time screwing around with SSDT tables I have managed to get the following result:

Laptop boots fine with T1000, but when I drop 4060 in it crashes with "ACPI BIOS ERROR" BSOD on boot

Hello, recently got a M4800 myself. Here are the base stats.

1. What upgrades can I do on it? I see that I can upgrade the CPU, but for video card, which one is a good upgrade and needs the least of modifications?

Also, I have the low end Display, max res is 1366 x 768

Hi. Yes the processor can indeed be upgraded - a reasonable maximum is 4910mq. Putting 4940MX and 4930MX processors is not reasonable, although it is possible with reservations.
As for the video card - probably a relatively cheap and affordable option is the nvidia m2200. Of course, you can search for a t1000, but it will cost you a lot more.
As for the screen to give advice you need to identify what model you have installed and what type of connection edp or lvds

Thank you for the CPU recommendations, I was looking on ebay for T1000 but they are way over $200. Might wait to see if they drop in price
