I have a GTX 260M in my? M15x, whats the best graphics card i can switch it for?
The 560M? was not validated for the M15x. As for the processor, the system does support the i7 940XM but you must have the 9 cell battery.
what about Nvidia GeForce GTX 560M? can M15x support it?
And is the i7 940XM the best processor you? can fit into the M15x? any other choice?
thanks
We can recommend nVIDIA gtx 460 or? AMD 5850. If you are interested please send us an e-mail to alienwareupgrades@dell.com.
Thanks for this helpful video! What? graphics card would you recommend as an upgrade from my stock Nvidia GT240M?
Connect the cables first, line up the indicator cover inserting the plastic tabs into the? sytem and them push in. Once in secure it with the screws.
just one question, how do i put the? indicator panel back on???
Thanks for your comment. If you are referring to the CMOS battery or? “Coincell battery” as mentioned in the video, there is only one.
Yeah, I just had to keep working on it. ? Thanks for the nice video!
Did you remove the 2 screws that? hold the indicator cover? If so maybe al you need is a plastic scribe or a pry tool to lift up the indicator cover.
So…. what do? you do when the indicator panel doesn’t want to come off? I’ve unscrewed all those screws you show, but I can’t get it off. Is there another way to remove the CPU fan and keyboard?
