❌ Not working

• Internal SD Card Reader. 📬

• Display output (HDMI - DisplayPort) is not working due to the removeable GPU is not working. If you still insisting of remove that GPU and it still not works. 🖥

• There is a very small percentage that the in-board (speaker) audio will not be working so you will have to fake plug in a headphone jack then remove it and you will be able to listen to the speaker again. 🧭
