nice thanks for the clarification. if that's the case it's just the gpu if the adapter is sufficient

How much overall budget?

Been meaning to ask, if I wanted to upgrade the SSD (just wanted to double confirm, I need the m.2 type is it?), what brand should I go for? Is the installing easy as plug and play type of install?

Is it possible to replace x51 R1 bios chip if bricked?

Yes, if u able to locate it. The new bios chip must be programmed 1st before replace the remaining bios chip.

Many thanks!

Any idea regarding the general cost or where i could possibly do it in klang valley?

Is it possible to use just any bios chip?

No, it must be the same type with the one in mobo

Can i do this at any pc repair shop?

Not very sure.

how u bricked the unit?

what's your laptop model?

for m.2 sata, we have very limited choices here. plextor m6g is the only so far that are 'more common'.

check out the manual for steps to install it. after that you might need to reinstall/migrate/clone your os onto it.

Alright, thank you.

Why don't have the Alienware M13 in the list?

no such issues here.

try unplug it from power source, disconnect the battery from the laptop, and then drain the power by pressing the power button for 20 seconds.

Bro, do you also do repairs?
My m17x r4 can't detect the gtx660 it came with and I'm not sure if its the card or motherboard is the problem.
And if its the card, I'm interested to upgrade it.

I do repair, but it depends what kind of repair. I am not a skillful repairman. Haha...
Well, to find out mobo or gpu problem. just swap a working gpu and test out.
I have a ready stock GTX 660m in my hand can test out.

because the TS had shifted to console.
however, there will be new people to be the TS.
