test_user567 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ok I just sent it back. Before I tested updating the BIOS but this runs me in the same error. I think the card is dead. Do you think a GTX675M of an Alienware will work in my Clevo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Hi, I just got the 675M from mokkin (ebay) but I have the same problem. The laptop starts beeping and blinking. I dont know what I have to do to get it working... Does it boot at all? If so what vBIOS version does it have (should show in F2 BIOS menu or on a sticker on the card)?

test_user567 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 The NB doesn't boot at all. The problem:First I see the LEDs and I can hear the hard drive. Everything seems fine but I have a black screen. But then something strange happens: The fan rises up it's speed and 3 LEDs next to the power button start blinking while the NB is beeping. Things I tested:I can get DOS booting, but NVFLASH says: No nvidia card found. Exit code 2.If I start the NB without any graphics card, it starts the same way. Beeping and Blinking.With the old broken 6990M the Laptop starts normal, but with black screen.Is it possible that the BIOS is too old? I read that sometimes the GPU doesn't get recognised if the GPU ID isn't in the BIOS. I think I'm able to flash the BIOS blind with my old graphics card, but I don't know how....Thanks, Niclas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
test_user567 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I just saved my BIOS into a .rom file, but I don't know exactly which version it is (I think it is .10). Can you please look which version it is? I wondered too if it is possible to save the EC out of the Laptop?Thanks, NiclasEdit: Here is the BIOS Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
