Modified or stock bios, doesn't matter... you should be able to use it. I don't have a system to test it myself.

I can confirm that the fix worked on the modified BIOS.

1. I flash original bios v2.22 G75VW

2. Instruction: Keyboard Light Fix (Gary Key)

3. Files: http://forced-inductions.com/G73JhFixKBLights.rar

4. My keyboard backlight ALIVE !!!!!

5. Good Luck and Be Happy !!!!

I've already flashed the modded BIOS. Can I follow those instructions and retain the mods? In other words, does the fix you pointed to here fix only the backlight issue and nothing else?

I can also confirm that the keyboard backlight isn't functioning after flashing the updated vBIOS.

Cool, that's what I assumed. Gonna have to try it out soon when I get the chance.

I'm seeing clocks hit 1164Mhz with my 3DMark runs...

He Jimmy,

Are those clock speeds including the boost?

Thx.

Including the boost, yes. A few sample lines from a 3DMark 11 run.

I want to thank svl7 for this modded vBIOS. I'm successfully gaming at ~1160Mhz core / 1450Mhz mem. Great stuff! It's put new life into this laptop.

It's been years since I've done any real benchmarking, but here's a 3DMark 11 Performance run:

Do you do any gaming at all? I also own a G75VW-BBK5 (anxiously awaiting the download!), and I'm ready to push the core past 1GHz. I'm wondering if you have any anecdotes about gaming performance after flashing and overclocking.

Excellent! Thanks very much for the reply.

Hi - I've read through much of this thread, but I'm having trouble determining which vBIOS bobby7 flashed to his G75VW. I have the same laptop (G75VW-bbk5), and I'd like to flash the modified BIOS. When I look in the second post, though, I'm not seeing a BIOS with a version of 80.07.2c.00.15, which is what's displaying in bobby7's screenshots. Can you point me in the right direction?

(I did pay for a temporary membership for access, so I hope that I'll be able to download the files).

Thanks to svl7 for his efforts. This is great stuff!
