    Default Acer 9920 GFX change

    Sorry to make a new thread about this subject,

    Im changing the broken nvidia 8600 m to nvidia 9300
    Wholesale 100% bland new and origina NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS(G98 630 U2)DDR2 256M 64Bit MXMII laptop VGA card/graphics

    ATM only external display
    im not sure if a vbios i neccessary og just a common bios, so pls help me find out

    So looked for a vbios update.
    i was able to find a file called 9300.rom
    But i havent managed to find a complete working guide to update my vbios

    How far i made it?

    I downloaded the 9300.rom from the forum

    i followed this guide Guide to Video BIOS flashing | techPowerUp for updating,
    made a bootable usb
    downloaded th nvflash utility but it will not run say something about a missing zip file.. sucks
    aswell the guide describes that update will come from a bin file, my file is a rom file?

    Hope some one can help me

    Patrick

    Read the MXM BIOS modding thread for bringing your 9300 to life.

    The 9300.rom file likely won't work, a special VBIOS for the 9920G (adapted from the G98-730-U2 VBIOS) can be found in the MXM BIOS mod thread. You will also need to install a modified SBIOS.

    (In fact, installing the SBIOS alone will bring your screen to life, but with garbled colors that you can then fix with the VBIOS.)
    Acer Aspire 5720ZG "Maximum Overdrive": CPU: T9300 | VGA: GT 230M, 1GB DDR3 (MXM-II, taken from a Toshiba A500) | RAM: 4GB | Display: 1920x1200 "LP154WU1-TLC1" | BIOS: V1.45 "Black edition V4.0"
