Finally somebody is working on that notebook !!!!!!!

I own a Dell Inspiron N5110 with GT 525M ..

I will be grateful for ever if you can make a 550M or 540M bios mod !!!!!!!!!
This is my dream ..

What is the benefits of the current undervolted bios and how do I install it , right now I have A09 bios ..

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank You !

 

I made the 540M bios mod already Added link with flashing tools

 

I flashed my bios ..

1 - Fan kept running at 100% and it was very noisy !
2 - The name of the GPU didn't change to 540M !
3 - The only thing that happened is that the default clocks became 672/900/1344 which are the default in 540M ..

If you fix that I will be grateful !

 

Is this what you need?

Thank you guys I fixed it !
I was so stupid ..

To fix the 100% fan click FN+X at the startup ..

Now I will try the modded BIOS ..

I which the moderator could delete all my comments for the look of the topic !!

 

No need to change name of GT-525M to GT-540M. They both share the same hardware. I changed the clocks of the GT-525M to GT-540M with some manual hex editing. So we dont need to use overclocking software and Nvidia Optimus can work like it's supposed to.

I also made a 525m to 550m bios mod. However, don't forget to watch those temperatures. I am working on a undervolting bios for each mod

Stay tuned!

 

Right now I'm using GT 550M mod , and with some driver hacking ..
Here's what I got :



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

My temps doesn't exceed 78 , I think that's good ..
I have a cooling pad and also I have a custom cooling mod ..

Waiting for new bios , Good luck and thank you !

 

Can't you change the name via the VBios ..
I know they share the same hw , but I want my card to be completely transformed into 550M !

 

What is that cooling mod you are talking about? Sounds interesting

 

I just reached 0.83v with my GT-525M to GT-550M mod

 

Uploaded the all in one flashing package

 

Using GT525M to GT 550M 0.83V and it's fine !

Thank you very much ..
About the custom cooling mod , I powered three old fans with usb and used them to cool the laptop.

Thank you again

 

Hi,
Thank You for your efforts, it's appreciated.
Haven't tested your bios out yet, but on my next 3 days off I intend to
Will install all the bench tools and test out before flashing your mod then I'll flash your mod and bench again and see how it goes.

Post the results when I'm done if you like.
Cheers

 

My graphics driver stops working and then I suddenly have no sound device on the stock 0.83v.

If anyone has the same issue on one of the undervolted BIOS mods please notify me.

I am still trying to find out if I am having the same issue on the stock BIOS. It may me my laptop having problems.

 

No , I have no problems at all ( GT525M to GT550M 0.83V ) ..

And my temps dropped from 83C in Furmark to 76C .

 

it seems I have the sound bug with any stock BIOS I have tried so far. Oh crap. My BIOS Mod is working well, don't worry. I have tested them all.

 

Ok , did you fixed the sound bug anyway ?

 

I think the sound bug is caused by a bad reparation. If the Dell Technician damaged my motherboard physically I will need a replacement again.

My modded BIOS is ok. I even tried a downgraded A08 but I still had the problem. So don't worry about the sound

I am currently running 0.83v stock clocks.

 

my graphics is very bad when unplugged...please tell me what's the problem
