svl7 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Well, it involves pretty tiny SMD soldering, desoldering... you need a very fine solder tip for this, or a hot air station... check out the pics here, it shows the desoldered chip: Recovering a notebook GPU from a bad VBIOS flash | Tech|InfernoIf you don't have the equipment the best thing would be going to a local electronic shop, they should be able to do the soldering for you. If you haven't done such small soldering before it's very likely that you kill your card. I addition to this you need to work with ESD protection...I'll PM about the chip.

Aero Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Hi, svl7! I read your article about flashing chip and want to ask you about my situation. I have a videocard Clevo 7970m with the same chip pm25ld010 (but next two strings on it have another numbers). My ASUS G73Jh dosen't work with this card and current vBIOS. When I try to turn on computer, two lights are blinking - CAPS and NUM and northing . Then notebook turns off. So I can't flash vBIOS with DOS. I have correct vBIOS (*.rom file). It was tested by another people, who made such upgrade on G73Jh. Can you give some advice for this situation? My soldering skills are not perfect Can I send my card to you? Thanks.

svl7 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Sure you can, but cheaper, easier and faster would be if I simply sent you a programmed chip and you find someone who can do the soldering for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it necessary that other number strings on your chip coincide with original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 What's the cost of work and shipping to Russia? What information you will need apart from my address and vBIOS file? I can't send you a private message. How do I contact you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 If your programmer supports the chip on the board it'll work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
