blablabla1600 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hey everyone, I'm new here. Coming from NBR forums. I installed a Clevo 7970m to my GT780DX. It was working fine untill I decided to flash it with a Clevo 7970m from a Sager p9370 this morning.. never should have done that.. I now get only a black screen. Fan starts-up but the screen is black. I tried even blind-flashing but nope. It doesn't flash. No log output from atiflash either. What do you suggest? I'm good at soldering skills. @svl7 will resoldering a new bios chip work out? I'm stuck. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated Best Regards felix PS: I'm trying to reply but I can't seem to. I'll write it here: ok for the bios chip. How much would it cost to send it to Italy? The other option is sending it to you or a friend of mine in France (whom I bought the card). That goes for approx 32€ Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Well, if you can't boot from the iGP then that's your only option, unless you know someone with a system which can boot from the Intel HD and reflash your card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks svl7 The only options of flashing would be send it to France to a friend of mine (whom I bought the card) and have it flashed with his m18x or send you the card. It would cost me ~32€ approx. Would sending a bios chip be cheaper? If yes let me know. felix Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah, a chip will be cheaper. I'll PM you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablabla1600 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hey svl7 I can't send a PM yet. I'm still a newbee here Anyway ok for the chip. Send me a PM with the details for the payment and also the email so I can tell you the shipping address. Does it have the Clevo vbios or a Dell vbios? My notebook is a MSI GT780DX just to reconfirm Cheers felix Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
