    Disable dGPU MSI-16J91

    I have a MSI-16J91 rev 1.0 motherboard with defective nVIDIA GPU. I want to disable it and be able to use only iGPU. Do I remove choke 5, 6 and 8 to accomplish that? Choke 3 was not installed from factory.

      Lenovo ideapad 100-15 NM-A681 disable dGPU
      by someonenotyou
      Hi.

      I have a Lenovo ideapad 100-15 with probably bad dGPU.
      I tried to disable it by desoldering inductors going to dGPU.

      I desoldered 2 inductors (PL705 and L706) going to +VGA_CORE
      And 1 inductor (PL701) going to 1_05VS_LX.

      Is there anything else I need to desolder?

      If the PL701 is in place, I get fan spin at start, but nothing on the screen, no POST.
      If PL701 is desoldered, there is no fan spin, but LCD gets powered on (without backlight), but no POST.

      I have attached link to boardview and schematics.

      Acer Nitro 5 AN517-52-54PM no power disable iGPU possible?
      by alderick
      Hello everyone,

      I have this laptop came in with no power, shorted main power rail, after measuring resistance on coils, found out that VCC_GT was short (high side MOSFET part of the dual MOSFET was shorted)
      After replace the MOSFET, laptop came back to life, pass memtest without any issue, but whenever I try to boot Windows 11 SSD or Windows 11 install from USB, laptop freeze I guess iGPU is partial dead since he received 19V when MOSFET got shorted.
      So the question is, can we disable iGPU like hardware mod or BIOS mod?

      Thanks by advance for your interest...

      Alienware 13R3 bios mod request - to disable dedicated graphics (dgpu failure)
      by Mr.Ultimate
      Hi everyone, hope to get someone to help and modify bios rom for me.
      I need to disable dedicated nvidia graphics chip permanently.

      GPU chip had failed(cracked silicon DIE) and I can only use laptop without failing if I disable nvidia graphics in dev manager (but it still draws power from battery and generates thermal signature.

      Ideally if it was disabled from bios at preboot.

      I believe it is possible, because if I attatch external alienware graphics amplifier , laptop at boot will disable dedicated graphics #1 (failed one) and will only boot with AGA...

      Correct procedure to disable defective onboard RAM on Lenovo T14 gen 1?
      by NoRelax
      Good day,
      In my hands I have a Thinkpad T14 gen 1 (20UD002BIX) showing sporadic BSOD issues caused by failing onboard soldered RAM. I suspect disabling the onboard RAM via a bios mod would do the trick.
      The laptop has already the latest updates as well as latest bios 1.51 as of today.
      I informed myself in an attempt to DIY my way to victory but it left me with more questions than answers. This is not a BIOS request, what I really need is somebody to verify that the following procedure is correct.

      Step 1: grab a bios image:
