    I installed an extra pci-e flash card in the open spot where the tv tuner is on some models of the g50v. I know the card works, it just isn't showing up anywhere in the device manager or when I boot it up. Is there any way to get it to show up or am I out of luck trying to install it.

    First off, make sure the BIOS is detecting the flash card. You may need to enable it to get it working.

    It isn't showing in the bios...not sure how to enable it. Do I need a hacked bios or something to get it to work?
