svl7 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 You need a programmer that is compatible with the specific flash part and a kind of adapter, or what I can offer is selling you a programmed vbios chip, so you only need to do some soldering.

islandspapand Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Deepending on the price it sounds great Though i would still like to learn how to as i would like to start playing around with some of my gpu's and there vbios and its always nice to have a "fail safe recovery" so i would have to buy something like this ?: NEW V5.91 Russian Mini TL866A USB Universal BIOS Programmer 13143 Chips+9 adapters+IC extractor+SOP28/SOP8/PLCC20/28/32/44-in Other Electronic Components from Electronic Components & Supplies on Aliexpress.com i have installed a Nvidia K3000M from a Dell M6700 but can't seem to find any drivers the get accepted even if i try to force them through i get a error about not compatible with windows version, any way to re-flash so i am able to use my Laptop in the mean time and still game ? ============================================================================================================================= Info: Gfx Info: ATI Radeon HD 5870 (Crossfire) Location: Denmark Model: Alienware M17x R2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche12 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 I am not to familiar with this technique, however I have heard of some people successfully repairing damaged vbios flashes with a technique known as "blind flashing" where you boot into a DOS usb device with a KNOWN WORKING vbios, and flash that way.
