svl7 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 It's hard to help if you don't tell me what the actual problem is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonchoPowerPhD Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well, I can only seem to be able to flash one GPU, the other just gives me an error when I try to flash saying "EEPROM not supported"- - - Updated - - -I have GT 650M SLI if that helps.

svl7 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Lenovo Y500? Then read the instructions in the Y500 mod thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonchoPowerPhD Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Okay, it seems that I've done it, but for some reason MSI Afterburner won't let me turn up the clock speed more than 135 mhz. Is there a special process to overclocking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonchoPowerPhD Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Nevermind, so I have two GPUs the index tells me their #s are 0 and 1, 1 flashes completely fine, but 0 keeps giving me an error that says "EEPROM not supported" despite the fact that the cards are Identical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator BAKED Posted June 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 15, 2013 The #0 gpu should be primary and the #1 should be the slave right? If so the #0 should be flashed first without any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonchoPowerPhD Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Well, when I try to do it, I keep getting the same error "EEPROM not suppported" However, GPU #1 flashes fine without any problems whatsoever, I can't even turn off the EEPROM protection on GPU #0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 You didn't read the Y500 instructions... There's no chip for the on-board GPU, the vbios is part of the bios. You can't flash it per nvflash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonchoPowerPhD Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Oh, thanks, I'm sorry if I wasted your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PonchoPowerPhD Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 So, I started the process for unlocking from square one, but when I open Insydeflash for the Y500 Bios 2.02 I get the error that says "Bios compare error". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcticjoe Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Does anyone know if nvflash for windows is ok to use with windows 8? I have a medion with 670mx and would like to flash unlocked bios to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Use the DOS version for flashing mobile cards as you can't easily recover from a bad flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunatics Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Thanks a lot for this guide. I've never really gotten into OCing or any sort of modding like this but with my new laptop I really want to get into unlocking the full potential of my card and using unlocked bios and even some OCing. I had no clue where to start and this explains everything perfectly, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Advise needed!My situation: I've got second gtx670mx from the same seller I've earlier got my first gtx670mx. First card works like a charm. Second appears not functional. I've realised that when new arrived card was installed in master mxm slot, computer start booting wiht black/empty screen, three beeps, crasy spin of fan, emergency shut down and as a result - system crush.The seller advised to flash faulty card with stock vBIOS from my working card to avoid replacement procedure.So I've performed attempt of blind flash in master slot and also tried to flash in slave slot. NVFLASH (the latest) does not see mentioned card in slave mxm slot. So all attemps were unsuccessful.Any tricks or tips for the situation? What else can be performed prior to sending card to RMA?Thank you in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganzosrevenge Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Svl7, where did the fermi unlocking BIOSes go? I can't find them on here and I have a laptop that I'd like to see what it's capable of with an improved BIOS. (It's a GTX 675m)Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I would like to ask about this symptom: the card is not recognized and NVFLASH even can not see it in DOS in second (SLAVE) mxm slot.Does it mean wrong vBIOS (or empty EEPROM) or this can be physical defect of card? How it can be fixed?Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 That most likely means that your system is not set up the way that it can flash a bricked gpu... don't think this can be fixed in your case, not familiar with your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some experience with flashing back to stock vBIOS bricked gtx670M with success...it was visible by NVFASH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
