Good afternoon guys.
Sorry but I need to ask for your help, this goes beyond my knowledge.
I have an iMac12,2 in which I replaced HDD with SSD, added ram, changed GPU with an Nvidia K3100M, replaced MacOS with Linux and added rEFInd for bootloading.
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
product: GK104GLM [Quadro K3100M]
vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
And actually is working pretty well, I use it daily since march.
I wanted to update the GPU to Nvidia 1080 Mobile (
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-1080-mobile.c2870 ) and so i bought it.
Replacing the K3100M with 1080 Mobile led to black internal screen.
The OS is working and connecting the Display Port to my TV it shows the working OS.
I was able to play games and run LLMs using CUDA with the last nvidia driver version available.
Still, the internal monitor is not working.
Of the 4 internal led indicators, the third (referred to communication between monitor and GPU) is not working.
I didn't flash any vBIOS up to now.
And i don't find any.
The GPU is Pascal series.
I'm quite skilled, let me know how to proceed i hope i can follow your instructions.
Many thanks in advance
PS: the rEFInd boot does not appear when attached to Display Port, it shows up just after the OS starts booting.
