Hi
This one is for 8935g 45W TPD or 8949- but without "g" (was something like this). Don't buy it. Look how is 8940g, especially copper pipe-is under long gray metal element.

 

Hello,

I am looking for hermo unit for 8940g, if someone know where can I buy it please give me a call thx

 

Try eBay.de

 

Already checked ebay.pl, ebay.com, ebay.co.uk and ebay.com as well as allegro.pl and aliexpress

 

Hi Walter ,

One question this will fit ?

https://www.ebay.pl/itm/Ventilateur...483161?hash=item4b31b4da59:g:PO0AAOSwridaP5hc

 

Hi
This one looks like for 8942g or 8943g. Especially graphics card sink. But... Because of low price, you could buy it and resolder plate or soldering graphic card sink from 8935g.

 

Sorry to Necro an old thread but I picked a 8935g off ebay last month

So far I have only upgraded the gpu from a 4670 to a firepro M4000 shows as 7700m series (Blue PCB taken from a M4700 'Dell bios'),
As stated in this thread it was a simple plug and play now I am just waiting on a Q9100 from HongKong as my 8935g shipped with a Q9000
I was thinking of going for a QX9300 however spunking £50 for a cpu that might not work is something I might try only if the Q9100 works.

I shall post with futher updates just a quick Q. Does anyone know where I can source the TV-b tuner and internal antenna cable/external jack port?

cheers

 

I've never seen Tv tuner in this model. Just a place for it.
Once on Ebay was offered with Tv, propably French model.

 

Sorry for the very late reply the UK models had the tuner card

the Q9100 works great on the 8935g! kind of thinking that I would like to try the QX9300 but the 9100 is no slouch

it's a shame I have put the laptop on ebay I'm very skint.

I know this is kinda old thread, but... sience Walter has been able to upgrade to Nvidia k2100M and is working, i would like to upgrade from ATI Firepro M4000 to the new AMD Firepro W7170M.

Sience this card is MXM Type b i have seen that there is enough room in the Acer 8940g to fit and MXM Type b Card. Do you guys think this will work ? It has the Dell Bios soldered on it...

 

Hi
You will need to cut any plastic pegs or corner of speaker. Then will be fit. I had in 8935g Ati 5870 (?) in format B.

 

I could use a little advice I didn't end up selling mine thankfully I got some cash together anyway enough about that
I now have a W5170m (R9 m370x)
installed in my 8935g and it works shows in BIOS and runs fine in Windows but only via hdmi nothing on the screen itself any help would be grand!
on how to get the card to see the internal display and initialise it

 

I remeber there's on the forum is topic about it. Not exactly card, but about driver. Be patient and find it.

 

I have a question over AMD Fire Pro4000m ! Does it work on Acer 8935G in discrete mode ?
It does not working on my 8935g !

 

@Walter1970 Hey, can you by any chance upload the BIOS for k2100m that worked on your 8935g please ? Thank you

 

Hi
It looks little bit hard, but possible. I bought 2 cards. One of them was from Hp and didn't work. But another one was from Dell laptop and works fine with no additional bios job.
No, I can not overwrite BIOS. I did it far time ago and don't feel comfortable with this procedure.

 

There's no need to overwrite anything on your end. You can save the VBIOS using GPU-Z. All i want is to try flashing that Dell bios that worked for you.. Btw how did u manage to get passed the white screen on windows boot? I'm having the same issue with no luck

 

Hi
Ok. But next 3 weeks I am on holiday. I can do it when I am back. Remind me, ok?

 

Will do, thank you @Walter1970. Have a nice holliday !

 

@Walter1970 Nevermind i got a 5870m to work ( mxm type b ) for anyone looking to upgrade the 8935g
