ECS mb had lot of problems and incompatibilies, and finally stop working.    Now my PC has the USDT 800G1 HP motherboard, 16GB DDR3 1600Mhz, Xeon E3 1240 v3, MXM GTX 980M 8GB VRAM and x2 SSD 512GB.   Thanks for your help in my proyect.  Hey! Glad to hear you have progress with your project. You're welcom! As I know 980m gpu eats aroung 100w. It is great that your new motherboard  can transfer such much power from DC input to MXM card 😃 May I ask you to describe what actualy happened with your H81H3-Ti motherboard? May be it could be repaired? ... Meer weergeven

Heyho! I've sent you link to bios file ... Meer weergeven

Hi, LordKadesh! First of all you should check where exactley does problem exisits - in Mobo or in graphics card. Best way - try other working card in mobo and try other working mobo with graphics card.   According my experience  even with wrong  vbios card should be recognized by OS as pci-e device. If your card  is not recognized by Mobo at all I guess it has hardware issues.  But I could be wrong.  Standard MXM cards has their own vbios chip (as desktop cards). Best way to flash new vbios is to use programmer. I use cheap Ch341A from aliexpress. You should find compatible vbios dump file on TechPowerUp and just flash it to vbios chip.   By the way I cheked your photos, and didnt noticed your MXM card's cooler. Without cooling card can be damaged cause overheat. ... Meer weergeven

UPD 1) This motherboard works fine with RX 480 MXM card from ZRT tech.  Without any problems.    2) LVDS in this motherboard  actualy works too. It goes not from PCH. 2 line eDP from CPU is converted  by Realteck rtd2486hxd translator to LVDS. ONLY 8bit 2ch 1080p , can't be set by header or bios. Unfortunatley my lvds->edp converter can work only with 6 bit. So I can get picture but with wrong colors. I've sent request to Realteck, to help with this IC's datasheet. May be it can be flashed to other bit and channel types. Still waiting thier answer.   PS hope attached pictures wont stay with yellow triangle too long  ... Meer weergeven

Hello @buhaspep    Here ROMs I got: LINK REMOVED I'll leave it here, may be someone else will need it. On my motherboard I got 8 pin header called Spi Debug. Its legs are connected directley to bios spi chip legs. I used CH341A programmer (5$ from aliexpress) to make dump and flash modified. Im not sure, if you can flash it from system without any issues, cause dump contains not only bios region, but ME and others too.       Admin Edit: Link to Google-Drive removed, unclear property issues.

Hello @buhaspep , If your motherboard is the same to mine (h81h3-ti v1.0), I can send you full bios chip dump. ... Meer weergeven

Hello @Raymond! As I can see , man in video disabled onboard dGpu to make laptop work with pci-e graphics card through integrated. I should try that! But Im still more interested in program part. ... Meer weergeven

Hello @Raymond    He-he, You got me! 😄 Indeed I have plans to build a desktop computer in laptop formfactor (with LCD, battery and other features). Main problem right now is to make dGpu (gtx 970m) work with board's optimus. Cause at this moment I can load dGpu only if I disable Intel HD in device manager (but still not in all apps). Nvidia control panel tells me that my screen is not connected to nvidia gpu. If I change display priority  in bios from Switchable Graphics to Pci-e I'm getting black screen (windows loads succesfull as I can see). May be cause wrong VBIOS, may be cause wrong drivers. May be if I connect lvds LCD as primary display - it will work fine cause MXM card has lvds tracks.  ... Meer weergeven

Hello @Raymond! Cause this is very unique and interesting platform! Have you ever seen  desktop board with MXM?  I know only few of them:  ZRT 11812, ASRock Z110M-STX (270 and 370), ZOTAC EN1070 (970-1080), Gigabyte BRIX. Clevo and MSI laptop's motherboards, and a lot of noname oem AIO motherboards like one I got! To be honest total time I'm working on this motherboard is not much, most of time I've been looking for information (and still doing it), so my nerves are not as strong as you say 😃 ...

I got motherboard's old bios dump  H81TIw08.300 but it works prety unstable.  ... Meer weergeven

UPD MXM slot works as PCI-e 2.0 x16 (not surprised cause H81 chipset). Its Power limit is at least 75w. I did tests with Quadro k610m (~30w) and Gtx 970m (~75w) . After few days of butthurt I made them work with furmark. The biggest trouble is to find compatible vbios, cause windows doesn't recognize original, which came with graphics cards (empty fields in GPU-Z and code 43 in device manager). I had to unlock system bios, and after few dozens of vbios reflashings and I found sort of compatible ones.   Now I can force graphics cards work with Furmark. But Optimus doesnt work, I think cause of incompatible drivers ("you are not currently using a display attached to an NVIDIA GPU"). May be cause of incompatible optimus module in system bios. PS as said here https://community.medion.com/t5/FAQs/BIOS-updates-concerning-the-Meltdown-Spectre-vulnerability-for/ta-p/53702 there is another system bios version for my motherboard. Hope someone could tell me when it will be avalible? ... Meer weergeven
