SMN Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi I have Clevo P170HM with GTX-580M I decided to update video on 680M I bought here Upgrade Kit GTX 680M Before purchase learned that the vBIOS would be the following... 80.04.29.00.01 Today received, installed... Video card does not work!!! I received at start of a notebook such screen and all! Further goes nothing. This screem my BIOS new 680M Help please !!! What I must do ? P.S There is a thought that is a card is flash BIOS 80.04.29.00.01 for DELL GTX680M, instead of for Clevo GTX680M ?? How can I reflash to vBIOS Clevo GTX680M 80.04.29.00.01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Since the seller is eurocom I would not be surprised if they didn't flash the proper vbios on the card. Unless I'm mistaken the card definitely should work fine with the vbios you mention. Do you know anyone that could check the vbios of the card in a different system?

Tonrac Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Svl7 was right, the card with 80.04.29.00.01 bios, should work with your P170HM unless you have the 3d 120Hz screen.Dell version has only 2Go of Gddr5.DO you have only a blank screen or do you have something displayed at startup?If you have a blank screen, after the installation of the GTX680M, you can try to remove the battery under the keyboard to make a clear cmos.When i plugged my GTX680M in my P150HM it was plug and play, but when i reverted back to my GTX580M, i had to clear cmos in order to have the GTX580M recognized again ... weird things happen.The only vbios know to work on the P1XXHM are the 80.04.89.00.01 and MSI 80.04.33.00.24, other don't allow to boot on your HDD/SSD.If you have others vbios, and know someone who have a P150EM P151EM P170EM , you can try to mount the card in this system, and then flash to compatible vbios.Does your laptop make some beep?

SMN Posted November 12, 2013 Author Share Posted November 12, 2013 Svl7 was right, the card with 80.04.29.00.01 bios, should work with your P170HM unless you have the 3d 120Hz screen. I have normal screen, not 3D or 120Hz DO you have only a blank screen or do you have something displayed at startup? No, after starup i have this screen ( Usually this screen after 1 sec disappear and start nex step) In this case - this screen does not disappear... hold about 2 min (in this time I heard 1 or 2 beep) and screen go to black with flashing dash It does not possible by F2 go to Setup, Bios,,,, no any reaction on buttom). Only Ctrl-Alt-Del.... go to restat. That all! Dell version has only 2Go of Gddr5. I have 4 Gb DDR5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 The cards actual vBIOS revision is higher than what is written on the sticker, they must have updated it.if you don't have someone with another MXM system or SLI to reflash it Eurocom will have to exchange it for you.If you tell us your approximate location there maybe someone here to flash it for you.Svl7 could also send you a pre-programmed chip to solder to the card or you send the card to him to do it, he is in Europe.

Guest Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 No way to get it boot DOS? @PremaNope, I made a BIOS Mod once which allowed a Clevo v33 vBIOS to be blind flashed directly in the system, but this is v67+ stuck before BIOS scenario, I had no chance with that.

Tonrac Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I confirm what Prema Says :"The cards actual vBIOS revision is higher than what is written on the sticker, they must have updated it."Your issue is vbios related, there is two possibilities:If you have 80.04.33.00.10 version, there is maybe a little chance to save the card: you need to make an usb bootable key (tutorial here :http://forum.techinferno.com/nvidia-video-cards/2166-%5Bguide%5D-nvidia-vbios-flashing.htm) with nvflash Download NVFlash 5.136 | techPowerUp and the original vbios 80.04.29.00.01 https://hotfile.com/dl/245780438/73321d2/Backupgtx680.rom.htmlWhen you are ready, unplug your Hdd or sdd, then plug your usb key and boot. Wait a three beep series (it can take a long time 5 to 10 min), after it will succeed booting in your USB key.then backup your vbiosnvflash -b badbios.romand flash your card nvflash -4 -5 -6 Backupgtx680.romThen you will be with 80.04.29.00.01 version and it will be ok.The second possibilities is far less funny: If you have 80.04.67.00.01, the only way to flash the card is to mount them in a P1XXEM series.

Tonrac Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Did you try to boot on your bootable usb key? You need also to remove the Optical Device (dvd or blu-ray).If you have already tried that ... the only way is:-returning your card to eurocom-soldering a new chip (maybe svl7 can do that if you sell him the card)-plug the card in a Pxxem model and flash the correct vbios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 you need to wait after the backscreen with dash during an average 5 min That only works for the Clevo v33, since he sees the curser it's v67+ and it won't work...sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be unable to help you with more efficiency. @Prema:you are probably right, a lot of time had passed since i had to repair my mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Card is flashed and on it's way back to the owner.It was as I suspected, those eurocom bastards did not flash the vbios that was requested by the owner, they only put a sticker on the card that stated an older vbios version, but the version on it was the latest one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
