Got a M90 with the FX2500 i need to safely flash to 7900GTX

i tried all the above, first i couldnt "run the HB usb utility" the only thing i could run wanted to format a random IDE drive .. which i wasnt about to do, ,but i did right click on the new usb drive (G:\) and formatted it Fat32.

I put nvflash newbios.rom and oldbios.rom on the flash drive and got the same error unknown command. By the way I couldn't boot from the usb so i booted from a CD, and then tried to use the extension G: which was not known, so i was able to use E:, which gave me the unknown command

 

I can't really help with that.

Maybe install win98 and boot into dos.
I have no idea.

This guide might help (the bios flashing part will help you get the HP tool working, maybe):

hmm gosh cant believe no one else can lend some advice

 

Hi,

your computer is a laptop, isn't it?
Unlike dedicated VGA cards in Desktop computers, the Bios of the VGA is often part of the motherboard Bios.

In such a configuration, any tool that expects a defined interface as with desktop VGA cards will fail.

But didn'tTomttt manage to backup his bios, that would mean it's on a seperate chip.

If you can dump the vBIOS with GPUz, then the vBIOS is not part of the motherboard BIOS.

 

ya i backed it up fine

other people claim they've flashed this model laptop

 

bump!!!!!!

 

Hi,
