Acer MXM Models and Cards

[nitroflow]

So I've finally got hold of an 8600m GT and tried to flash the 5920G_MXM_V3.WPH bios with a crisisdisk on a flash drive and phlash16 v1.6.9.5 but get an error when it starts the actual flashing(Undefined error number 4096). So what now?

Try a newer Phlash16. Or try flashing with WinPhlash.

However, you don't need a flash for installing a 8600M GT - it is only needed for GeForce 9-series cards.

Flashing is basically putting the right BIOS on the graphics card. It's really no big deal to do so if done right ;-)

hallo guys.

I own Acer 5920 with geforce 8600M gs installed.

can one of u experts clear a few facts for me before i do something stupid:
if i order this card M60J VGA_BD./AS WO/HY_SLI part number: 60-NTSVG1000-A11
is it "plug an play" or does it require MB modifications?
a bios upgrade??? my bios ver. is 1.3811 (newest v. is 13?)
do i have to do some other modifications since the card is from Asus?

There are just too many pages to read them all - i figured so much as that it fits into my laptop and everything else is just blur to me ))

Hi Guys,
I have an 8935g, originally with HD 4670m, and a p8700
I bought a new 6770m, installed it, and cannot get a display from it! It is recognised and windows installs drivers, but as soon as it switches over to the 6770, it blanks out the internal display (windows is still running in the background) it also does not display on an external monitor.
Thinking that it may need another vbios, I got atiflash (atiwinflash didn't recognise the card) made a boot disk, and when I try to read the vbios, it can't find it then either!
Do you guys have any ideas? Do I need a modded acer bios? I'm tearing my hair out here!
Are there any other cards I could use? I've heard of people trying 5870ms (although they are B cards)
Thanks

i think the card is faulty.. did you buy it from ebay? can you see the 6770m in device manager?

[dogfishddl]

Hi, yes bought it from the bay but seller had 1000s feedback, and it was sold as fully tested. I can see the 6770m in device manager, but as soon as the drivers are fully installed and the machine "switches" over to the 6770m from the Intel graphics, the display goes blank (and doesn't show a picture with a monitor connected either)
