OK, Here's what I've done. Disassembled almost the whole laptop and "physically" removed the Quadro card, the non supported wifi card, and bluetooth for now. I'm OK with running things off of the onboard video instead of the Quadro, assuming I can make it work.
Now, there isn't even an "Optimus" option in the bios, so it is effectively a SB laptop with onboard video.
Rehabman: I'm not sure what other system info you need besides what I gave earlier, but I'll try.
Dell M6600 with:
- i7 2720QM
- 16GB RAM
- QM67 chipset
- 17" screen at 1920x1080
- Graphics - HD 3000
- other typical stuff
Now, I still can't get into the installer. I get a black screen after booting from the USB, and if I don't do anything for a while, the system goes to sleep. If I hit the power button, it comes alive, but still at the black screen.
Help, please?
