Hi all,

So far I have successfuly replaced HD5750 with Apple HD6970m, and everything was great for some time. But HD6970 was from recalled batch and didn't last long,even after solder reflow. Now, question is: Will it work if I remove eprom chip with EFI from defect card and soldered it to non Apple (2x cheaper ofc), same model MXM card (Dell, AW,Clevo)?
I found some old threads where people tried to use plain MXM card in iMac, but didn't found any workable solution.
THX
Regards
