devilhunter Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 This seems like a pointless thread to many users; however, I bought a dell GTX 660m 1gb, and I decided to flash it and install it on a G53JW ( young brother of G73JW), after being in lot of troubles, the card was flashed and the screen stays black, I have no idea why it wouldnt work, and my diagnosis is the card is self-aware and refuse to work.

svl7 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Did you flash the vbios which I provided for the G73? Also did you flash the card before or after installing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilhunter Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Did you flash the vbios which I provided for the G73? Also did you flash the card before or after installing it?Yes, I asked the supplier to flash it and he did (vbios from G73JW guide), after that, I tried to flash it again (blind flash) and stills no screen, when I insert my usb flash and my old card; the blind flash process seems to be 100% correct, I have no idea why its not working.Im really sorry sv17 for troubling you.this is the command line in my bat filenvflash -b filename.romnvflash --save filename2.romnvflash -5 -6 -A BIOS.romI found something fishy, when I i put my original card, it nvflash makes a backup file (filename.rom); but it doesnt when I put the new card!.Im sorry to say that the system doesnt post!. my laptop has built in speakers, I could hear bios intro sound, I kept waiting for few mins to hear windows start up tune, but I didnt!, after that, I hit alt+ctr + del and the system rebooted immediately; which means that the card is either not working or bios is fucking around.

svl7 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 If you're sure that the system doesn't POST then the first thing I'd try is re-seating the card in its slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilhunter Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I already did, it does post, but somehow I cant flash the card, I keep pressing y or entering yes, I put my old card, the system is posting now, but the screen brightness is always 0! I have to connect the laptop to an external monitor WHY?!- - - Updated - - -This is probably the most super natural fucked up luck day in my life, everything is breaking apart!.

svl7 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 If you get a picture on the second monitor then let me know what vbios is actually on that card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilhunter Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 If you get a picture on the second monitor then let me know what vbios is actually on that card.I dont get a pic sadly, I have no idea why batch file doesnt work when I put 660m I can send the card for you if you in fact need it for whatever reason....backlight of my screen is damaged ! what a lucky day for me....I guess Im going to sell this laptop for parts unless a good progress happens....

devilhunter Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I managed to fix the bitch, however, Im going to sell the card, maybe for 200$ or less. It was a nice experience, and thanks to you Sv17 for trying to help. I found that I fried the screen connector of the mobo =.=" and the connector itself. Im using my laptop as my desktop for now! Epic fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
