laptop , videocard , external

Ramadan Hasani · Dec 13, 2014

So I purchased the EXP graphics card V7.0 from banggood.com. I installed everything properly on my Lenovo S410p , the mini-express slot , the power , etc. The external slot gives of a green light so it works , or so I though. My laptop can't seem to detect the external GPU , even though I have the wireless - lan port enabled in the bios. Could my graphics card be broken ? Is there something wrong with my laptop's settings , did I install it correctly?

I hope someone can help me ,waited like ages for this thing to get here

Thank you..

what is your gpu brand and model?

And what power supply are you using with this?

The model is a HD 5450 1 GB videocard from radeon. The external pci express - at least for passively cooled cards just requires a adapter to be hooked up to. If you are using graphics cards with more power requirements , there are 6pin and 8pin cables included in the shipping , but since this gpu doesn't require extra power I didn't use a PSU to hook up the v7.0

My apologies I should've included this info at the first post.

Anyway the regular adapter I use is a : random brand , 100-240v , output of 19v and I see now that it doesn't even have wattage shown here. Anyway , the EXP does light up , with it even when I unplug the power outlet but have the other end still connected to it , which is weird , also the graphics card does get hot.

A link with the product .

I hope this will be sufficient .

it needs the 6 pin and 8 pin since it is not directly connected to the board

blacksheep123 :

I am assuming you are talking about the module , I find this hard to believe since there are videos on YT where low power consumption cards such as mine perform just fine without hooking up a PSU.

I don,t think thats the issue. Thanks though

then your bios is probably just locked, and not allowing you to do it
