Kanduru Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) For Quadros your best bet is eBay or the classifieds here. If you do manage to upgrade i would be intrested in buying the 570m off you. Edited March 6, 2009 by Kanduru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest flat-out Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Hello. I have hp8510w as well and tried to upgrade FX570m to FX770m that I bought on eBay. But I couldn't upgrade it,both of them are MXM2 and hp spare parts so I thought it was easy upgrade though. After upgrading it, power didn't up using AC adapter.So I gave up and used battery then power came.But hard drive couldn't load and drive light repeated blink green and orange as if loading get reset.I tried to connect it to external display but it seemed no signal sent. Maybe FX770m I used got broken but I'm not sure if you can upgrade FX570m to FX770m on 8510w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayldera Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 HP has one of the most restricitve BIOS ever. You can't even use the wlan card you want. While physically upgradeable I think you would need to hack the machine bios to get the card working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
