Hi guys, I've received my 6770m. Installed it but only get a black screen when I boot up the laptop. I tried to
blindflash it with several bios I found but nothing is working right now. Any suggestions?

anything showing up on vga/hdmi?

[oohayrr]

No, nothing at all. Just a completely black screen (aka no signal whatsoever).

Ohoh, it seems that I´ve purchased an ATI Radeon 6770m pulled from a Mac. Could this be why it isn´t working?
Anyway, I thought Mac graphics cards would work on a pc as there is just this additional EFI-chunk while also having the usual BIOS files?!

I more than likely has the wrong bios rom.

I had a 4650 in my 5920g that wouldn't boot, turned out I had a weak power supply, got the card replaced and bought a 4.74A charger. Check just in case, took me a while to figure that out.
Also, try reseating the card. Could be a malaligned pin.
Do you see the hard drive light flickering?

Hi.

One week ago I decided to update my 2,5 year old laptop. Among these updates were a BIOS flash, but unfortunately it failed halfway through. After that I got a bluescreen and were not able to turn it off without taking out the battery and removing the AC cord. When I then tried turning it on lights up and I can't even see the Acer-logo before it shuts down and goes on into an endless loop. I have tried pressing fn+esc while turning it on and then the power led blinks two or three times before it shuts down.

Now I am wondering if my BIOS is corrupt or maybe my RAM doesn't function. Have anyone experienced the same and is it possible to get it working again or is this the end of my laptop?

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I am interested in your project of the radiator, but to tell the truth I don't understand where to go positioned , I suppose on the cpu? In any case, could you post some pictures of your work?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is positioned on the CPU heatplate. I can`t post images for now - radiator is dettached for now.

Yes, everything else is working fine (as far as i can tell without any display )
I just put the card on ebay and ordered a 6770m from Dell. I hope this one will work

That 6770m from DELL will works fine, but from MAC will not, because this videocard is made only for MAC.
