[SOLVED] Adding Pci-e x4 slot on laptop motherboard

[ahmed fraije]

hello
i have msi gl63 8re laptop
which has an empty pads for Sata 3 ssd and pci-e 3.0 4x ssd

im thinking of getting a port socket for each one and solder it on its place , so i can add extra m2 drive or gsm module
will this work?

and has any one successfully did this upgrade to a laptop motherboard ?

ive searched alot on google , but found nothing helpful

probably don't have the hardware to use the socket.
replace the system board with one that already have it

Not gonna work.

1. Soldering a functional port on there is done by machine, not by hand
2. The BIOS and chipset probably won't recognize that drive, even if it were 100% connected properly

thank you for reply
the tools is not that problem , can use any repair shop tools

replacing the board is not an option , it is a laptop motherboard , so cant put another motherboard in ! , also t
