Thread Starter 
I'm upgrading my video card to nvidia 8600GT and apperently I need to flashback my bios to v2.06 (my current is 2.07). This laptop was a gift so I dont have access to my hive or anything. I would be very appreciated if anybody could send it to my email xceller8@hotmail.com. Also, does anybody know where can I find the housing for the video card (frame or w/e u call it, i'm kinda newbie to all these things) since it wasnt supported from where i got it.

Thanks a lot for the file. Kinda miss the 4bit color now lol.
Things been working fine so far. The only problem is that I can't seem to change the brightness setting. It always stays on max brightness. Does anybody know if this is normal?

The FN key works for everything else except brightness.
I changed the brightness directly from the power option but no luck.
Could it be because of the driver? I got it from laptopvideo2go.

Anything is possible. Want to give our own NBF Mobile Force driver a shot?
