does anyone know how to convert a clevo laptop to UMA graphics only?

[kjchatman]

i have an eluktro Pro Notebook. it is basically uses a clevo mainboard. the board is model n870hp. the dgpu has been removed and the laptop comes on but it shuts off after a couple minutes since the graphics chip isn't attached. Is there a way to modify the bios or anything so that it will work without it?

i tried a few embedded controller files and that seems like the answer. does anyone know how to edit my ec.bin so that the machine doesn't shutdown? i can't reattach the gpu because the pads are messed up on the board but i'd still like to use the machine for non-gaming applications. it8587e is the programmable KBC

Or , here is the bios file you need to disable the DGPU and solve the shutdown issue.

some clevo, expecially the performance ones dont have populated coil resistor mosfet to make them uma.
i daily use a clevo p870km with 9700k and 3080 and it cant be made uma.

post maybe mainboard picture.

I've came across the board mentioned in this thread today. FBVDDQ rail was burned up along with 4 memory chips and gpu memory controller. So i removed all of them and converted the board into an uma one. System started to exhibit shutdown issues just like any other clevo would do. I've been meaning to dig into this problem for a long time and saw that is a chance to do so. Done the editing and tested on the same model and it worked. Tested it around 52mins no shutdown, no crazy fanspin. Everything is as they should be. Models with no GFX supply rail can not be converted or takes a lot of effort to do fyi.

Would this method potentially be safe to work on a p75x-dmx?

I toasted the mxm card in mine a few years back and it's just been sitting on a shelf since then...

If your device works and displays image without the graphics card and the only problem is crazy fan spin / shutdown. Editing the bios could solve the problem.

Need a little more detail about the mainboard , a photo of the board would be good.

Here , the bios you need. If your mainboard code is P750DM of course.
If you're using K series Intel cpu , you need to replace it with one that has igpu, remember.

Hi

I have removed the GPU from the Clevo N870 laptop and I have a problem with the fans. They turn on after a minute.

Please help. Attached is my bios.

The bios from this thread do not give an image on my laptop.

Hi

I programmed your bios, unfortunately, the same, the fans go to the max after a while and the laptop beeps

Re: does anyone know how to convert a clevo laptop to UMA graphics only?

This is what i did to many N850 device and it worked. Maybe you have some other problems as well?

Re: does anyone know how to convert a clevo laptop to UMA graphics only?

With the dedicated graphics disabled in the system, the laptop worked fine. So I removed the coils initially, but the fans were running at max. I went ahead and desoldered the gpu bios and gpu chip.

The problem is still the same fans work at maximum power after a while, and the laptop starts to beep.

Yea like i said. I used this bios editing method showed in the previous picture on many n850's never had any problem converting uma.
