quipster Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 I fitted a X1600 MXM II with a red PCB (from a dead Uniwill barebone)into a Pi 1536 about 2 years ago and it worked flawlessly. Although I have some doubts whether the card you linked is compatible with the Pi, as it is an HP spare part. I have a 770M from HP in my 1556 and it also works, bit I can't confirm whether the card you have in mind will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm getting is a beep at the beggining. 1 sec beep and then the laptop just seems to reboot countless times... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
