Vakryle Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 First of all, sorry for my English!I have an Acer Aspire 5920g with the VGA: nVidia 8600m GS. 'Cause the overheating, I decided to change my VGA. After some research, I found that the VGA: ATI Mobility HD 3650 DDR2 256mb would fit perfect. I bought one (with Acer vBIOS included) and when I received my card, I put it on.The problem starts here:I can see the BIOS and the logo "Windows Corporation" (Win Vista), but when my laptop enters the desktop screen, my screen is blank. It has the led light on, I can hear the Windows intro music and some other sounds that my programs do, but my screen is black. I took another same card, but the problem still exists. I tried to switch an external monitor, but I have the same problem!I found an "acer3560.rom" that supposed to change my BIOS, so my new ATI would work perfectly, but when I flash it, I have this notification:Corrupted interface descriptors in the new BIOS file.Part Tablet Signature not found in the Interface.Error code: -161I really need your help, 'cause I need my laptop for my work...Thank you!

svl7 Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Can you post a link to the original and modified bios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakryle Posted December 22, 2012 Author Share Posted December 22, 2012 The original BIOS have been downloaded from the ACER Support Site.The modified BIOS have been downloaded from the site of the shop, I bought the new ATI. It is only a ZIP with only an "acer3560.rom". This is 63KB. The site is in Greek and here it is!The strange thing is, that this ATI I bought, works when I put it on another ACER (but that's not mine).

triturbo Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 It could sound silly, but have you cleaned the nVIDIA drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakryle Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 It could sound silly, but have you cleaned the nVIDIA drivers? Yes, of course! I cannot find any vBIOS for my VGA, so I flash it and my new ATI standing there waiting Santa for a christmas vBIOS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triturbo Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I do have HD3650 512MB DDR2 and HD3650 256MB GDDR3, but I don't think that either one is going to work for you. Another not-so-smart one - are you sure it's DDR2? You can check the serial number of the vRAM and make sure which type it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fault!What can I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triturbo Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 My HD3650 256MB GDDR3 machine is away, so you'll have to wait couple of days if you want mine. There are couple of vBIOSes around if you want to give the a go. Check those:Acer VBios for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 - Page 4 - Official MXM-Upgrade.com Forum - LaptopVideo2Go ForumsNBR Mobile Video Bios Database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakryle Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I will try to flash the bios from the 2nd site.But I think that it's the same bios file as the "acer3650.rom". They have the same name and size! I'll try though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakryle Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 I get this message: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Your vbios of your system is part of the bios, you can't just flash the vbios separately in your case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triturbo Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Actually it's not, but he needs ATiFlash or ATiWinFlash for the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vakryle Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well, I tried to flash these roms in DOS with a bootable USB, using AtiFlash, but nothing happened!I tried once, using the nVIDIA but i got a message: "not correct adapter".I tried, using the ATI, doing all the process, but again I couldn't enter my desktop.I should inform you, that when I'm in DOS with the ATI, screen becomes blank after some minutes. I noticed it, when I was trying to flash BIOS via USB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triturbo Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm A LOT late, sorry. Here you areM86.zip Edit it with RBE, save it as .rom, you can change the voltages at later time and etc. It's HP GPU but it boots just fine in my 5920G.
