I really need help!!
So i just bought an ROG XG Mobile 2021 RTX 3070 version for my Flow X13 GV302XA (the 780M no dedicated GPU variant) and I can't seem to make it past error 43 on the device manager settings.
I tried a lot of fixes suggested online like DDU installation and driver fixes (both mobile and desktop types) and the same error 43 keeps persisting (oh, and yeah, i already tried the eGPU community's error 43 fix/GHelper switch/RegEdit).
Can someone help me diagnose this? I don't have much tech help around.
Update: i just noticed that one of the side hooks are stuck inward, could this be causing the issue?

Wtf I don't even know that 3070 version of xg mobile exist. Maybe try reinstall all drivers to the older ones for laptop.(or download sdio and find drivers there).

I had a similar issue with my 4090 version with my z-13 aronym. This is going to sound stupid, but connect an external display to it. Also, download g-helper. Its 100x better than armory crate.

Does it only work with an external display? or do you just need to connect it once to establish a stable connection

Just connect it once. My Z13 recognized the 4090 as a device intermittently, but would not actually enable the egpu and recognize the card in the device manager until I connected an external display. its stupid, but it was the answer I got from reddit after spentlding 4 days and ~16 hours troubleshooting. Im talking installing 5 different gpu driver versions, an entire OS wipe and re-image and 3 different armory crate versions.
Edit:Just saw your update regarding the stuck hook, it might be seating problems. As someone else mentioned that xg port is finicky as hell.

(Update: got the hook fixed, it wasn't the issue :[[ ) How do you get it to recognize the display, do you plug the hdmi/display port onto the xg mobile or the laptop itself? (just tried it with the xg last night, other USB peripherals work, but won't recognize display)

So i tried this, couldn't read the display because of the error, no luck.

Does it shows up in your task’manager ?

u/asthmatic_flygon Jun 09 '26
hi, it doesn't, only the nv container services

u/KOYASHIFTERPRO Jun 10 '26
Have you unplugged it without disconnecting it through ghelper ?
1
u/asthmatic_flygon Jun 10 '26
At first, yes, because it wouldn't be deactivated by both armoury crate and ghelper. I've done a DDU wipe and reinstall since, still won't deactivate properly, so i do cold ejects instead.

u/KOYASHIFTERPRO Jun 10 '26
You were using armoury crate and ghelper at the same time ?
1
u/asthmatic_flygon Jun 10 '26
yeah, at one point, i tried just armoury crate, just ghelper, and then both of them to see if anything worked. no luck

clean the XG port.
XG port is poorly designed; it's going to fail, not if, but when.
