  1. I can not send it to Asus becasue I live in South America and in my country there is no support and I would have to send my notebook to USA to get it fixed, plus they will tell me for sure that they have to replace the motherboard and that would cost me $500 while just buying a new bios chip on eBay costed me just $16. Thanks very much to all of you for answering to my issue. I now understand what is going on and confirm that what these people that dumped my bios file told me is correct, cause it is exactly the same as you are telling me now.
  2. Then it's puzzling why whas there a 4MB file inside my chip when it should be a 8MB or at least +6MB...
  3. Yes, I bought the so named 'BIOS chip', I think it is most likely to be the 4MB and not the other cause if not it would have said 'ME FW chip'.
  4. Oh well, thanks for the compromise anyway ! I still wander, when you buy a new bios chip and have it replaced, is that the chip that contains the 4MB or the one that contains the 2MB one ? I'm asking because I bought a new bios chip on eBay and was just curious what that chip was.
  5. Why corrupt ? Think is worth a shot or can it ruin my system ? (I think in worst case scenario it just does not work so no harm)
  6. Oh, now I get it, so there are two separate chips, one for the 2MB and another for the 4MB. I just managed to extract the file for the 4MB chip, that is why my file is 4MB. I wander when you buy a new bios chip from eBay to repair this brick, do you buy the 4MB or the 2MB ? Also, I was wondering... can someone like you (Khenglish) or Klem use the bios file that is in the Asus site (6MB version v223) and just isolate the 4MB block and save it in a BIN file so I can flash it to my 4MB chip ?
  7. So what are you suggesting I should do ? (I have no clue what ME FW is and did not quite got that Khenglish said)
  8. The 223 bios is 6MB, I could find no file that was 8MB. People that dumped the file for me told me that the bios chip has a capacity of 8MB, but there was a 4MB file on it (the one I uploaded). Do you suggest I go and ask these people to programm my bios chip (using the programmer machine) with the bios v223 that can be downloaded from the Asus site ?
  9. I sent my system to a company that has that machine that can securely extract the bios chip and put it into another machine that can read and rewrite the chip. The reason of why this file is just 4MB instead of 6MB is that, as these people explained, there are sort of two bios files, one that you can not modify (that apparently controls things in a more deep way), and there is another one (the one that can be downloaded from the web site of Asus and the one we mod) that can be easily be reflashed with easyFlash or WinFlash. Apparently when you brick your system, the bios that you have to re flash to the chip with this machie (assuming no other method of recovering worked) is by flashing this more deep bios that as I see is just 4MB. What do you think ?
  10. Klem I've tested all those methods already but no results. NOW VERY IMPORTANT: Guys, I have also a bricked G75VW, I just sent it to have my bios chio read and this is what it has. This is the corrupted bios file, if someone knows a way to recompile or fix it in some sort of way, I would be very greatful and it would help lots of people. Specially slv7 if you see this, I would really appreciate if you could see how to fix this. http://rapidshare.com/files/1677708445/old%2025l6445e.bin
  11. People, I am in the need of the 8MB bios file of the G75VW-BBK5 (not the one that can be downloaded from the internet). I need it to reprogram my bios chip with a programmer machine. I've tried all other methods, nothing worked, please if someone has it I would really appreciate it.
  12. Does anyone know how to flash this bios outside of Windows ? Like EasyFleash or something like that ? EasyFlash does not recognise the file.
  13. Klem, I tried your methods but was still unable to recover my system, still nothing on the screen. Do you have any other suggestions ? Do you think that what ricjandro said has something to do with this ? I tried also instead of putting the file in a USB, putting it on the hard drive in C:. That gives me a different response, keyboard flashes and stays on instead of going away but still no image on the screen. How long should I hold the CTRL and HOME (and ALT) ? Should something appear on the screen or just stay black while the bios is being flashed ?
  14. People, I need help too, I have been using the OC version of the bios successfully for about two weeks. The other day I reinstalled Windows 7 and then went into the bios, restored everything to default, saved and exit. From there on my system bricked, no boot, nothing. I can't enter the bios, no ezflash, nothing. I taped my problem and uploaded it to YT. Asus G75VW Black Screen Bios Corrupted - YouTube Does anyone know a way to get my system back to life ? I have read and tried everything that can be done, ex: CTRL + HOME, F2, F4, removing the battery and the CMOS battery too, I'v tried everything. I also tried putting a USB stick with the bios file in it and then pressiong F2, F4, CTRL + HOME and all that but nothing.
  15. It came to my ming, what if I flash the Mod.223 directly and not the ModFix.223 ? I mean, what if I don't use the BiosFixer ?
  16. I will do some tests with more temp but it seems it does not need to get that hot for the fan to kick in, sometimes when it just hits 60s/70s it just starts to kick... Maybe it has something to do with the Thermal Bios Settings, but I have them all in default.
  17. I just run Prime95 for a short period while watching EVEREST to check if the fan is kicking in, I let it get to 80 C and if the fan RPM does not kick then I stop Prime. Yesterday I set all power settings on Power4Gear and the Windows ones in active cooling and it worked, today I see it is not working again... When it works, the fan reaches up to 3900/4000 RPM, if it does not work it just stays around 2000/2100 RPM.
  18. svl7, do you know something about this fan speed problem ? I'm afraid that my CPU can fry while gaming... The CPU fan just gets stuck between 2000/2100 RPM and does not kick in while under load.
  19. I can not find my way with those thermal menus, I change some of those options and I feel as if nothing changed. Does someone know how to tweak them correctly ? In addition to this I discovered that my CPU fan is locked... it does not ramp up when under load, pretty scary ! This did not happen before I flashed this bios (I tried defaulting the settings in this custom bios but it did not solve the problem). Does it happen to any of you ?
  20. I finally made it, works like a charm, thnx for the help. I had to flash it twice but finally worked. Now, does anyone know how to play with the thermal settings ? I mean, I messed around with it a bit but didn't see much changes. I want the fan to kick at 100% when passed 57C but could not see that happening.
  21. Oh, now I can download. Thnx anyway and sorry for the request. Now I have been able to do all those steps but seems to me that nothing happened... I go to the bios and do not see any unlocked features so whatever. I can tell you that when the bios is installing at the beginning it says 'PDR region dos not exist' and continues to install and just before ir finishes I can see another yellow text appears but the window closes as soon as the installation finished and I can not see what it says. Anyone have a clue of what is happening ? PD: I have previously installed the default 223 bios as recommended.
