Need help! I think I killed my Nvidia 9800m gt sli. I was running fine at 900/1500/900 using nibitor and Nvflash for over a year. then I tried to squeeze a little more out of the GPU and upped by increment of 10mhz to 930mhz. I then had a crash while trying to lower it back down to 900mhz. I bricked my 9800m gt sli. I can hear windows start but black screen. I tried a dos cd with Nvflash 5.1 for dos on it and a back-up 1.rom and 2.rom bios. All I get is 3 beeps. Tried the following commands. Nvflash -i0 -4 -5 -6 1.rom Nvflash -i1 -4 -5 -6 2.rom I tried the to load the dell bios from Nero boot disk. If anyone know a way I can flash this bios please let me know. I know I made a risky choice. please don’t criticize. I have done this for a while and got caught with my pants down Trying to figure out the Barts cd setup thing. At work and trying to burn to CD-RW. Please email me at Gbankson68@hotmail.com to help a Iraq veteran out with this. Glenn

I tried all command to blind flash such as:

Nvflash -A -r -4 -5 -6 -j -i0 1.rom

and

Nvflash -A -r -4 -5 -6 -j -i1 2.rom

 

For sli

With no success

I wich I knew how to short the STRAP_SUB_VENDOR pin or at least the location of the Eeproms on the Dell nvidia 9800m gt? I doubt if anyone knows since I have been looking for days. I am just going to order another card but it would be cool to try to fix this one.

By using the nvflash > out.txt command. I got both card showing up as.

 

NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.95)

Select display adapter:
<0> GeForce 9800M GT     (10DE,060B,1028,019C) H:02:SP0 B:03,PCI,D:00,F:00
<1> GeForce 9800M GT     (10DE,060B,1028,019C) H:02:SP1 B:04,PCI,D:00,F:00
Select a number (ESC to quit):

then after run the flash command I got:

The display may go *BLANK* on and off for up to 10 seconds during access to the EEPROM depending on your display adapter and output device.

I am a goner on GPU flashing winknudge.gif but if it is a dead card, you can always try to "bake" it

Hey,

I'm hoping this method is still current.  I've got a clevo p150hm with a 6990m that is not working (comp will boot into windows and I can enter my password to get to my desktop) but no screen.  I've tried to contact my reseller but when I told them i was gonna get it diagnosed at a local shop instead of paying for s&h and all they stopped emailing me back.  I tried e-mailing them today about this flashing method.  We'll see if they get back to me. 

 

If anybody knows where to find the stock vbios for clevo 6990m, or any other general help that'd be awesome.  Doing all of this makes me nervous, and I'm trying to research but feel a little drowned in unfamiliar waters. 

 

thanks for the help

Have you tried searching for VBIOS first, here at NBF?

Help me out please!

Long story short: I've bricked my GTX 460m gpu by flashing the wrong bios to it on my Asus G73SW laptop. I've followed the steps on page 1 very carefully and tried to flash the card many times with no luck. The screen light turns on sometimes but the screen is black with nothing displayed. No flashing lights or beeps when I tried the flashing procedure. What should I do? Give up and send it for repair or is there any thing else worth trying. How do I know I haven't damaged so,e hardware in doing so?

Hi. I've recently done a vbios flash and blind recovery. Have a look at post #339 page 17 on this thread;

 

http://www.notebookforums.com/t/214624/so-here-is-the-big-question-quadro-3600m-in-a-m1710/320

 

Don't use the Windows version of nvflash for the blind flash

 

Don't forget to put the file extension in CAPS (ie .ROM)
