    Hi!
    I have an Acer 5720 (without any letter after) that mounted a Nvidia 8400m GS 256Mb.
    I've "repaired" that board with the oven trick a couple of time, now I'd like to substitute it and so I bought an ATI hd3650 256Mb.
    When I put the board inside my pc the display stay black (i can see some low bright horizontal lines).
    None is accessible, not the bois neither the OS.
    Is there a way to make this board work on my notebook?
    I searched and found something about vBIOS but not a complete procedure.
    At the moment i've updated the bios to the last on the official acer website now is the 1.45 but nothing changed.
    Anyone can help me with steo by step instruction or something similar?
    thank you!
    Geppo!

    Here you are - that's Mobility HD3650 256MB GDDR3. Edit it with RBE, save it as .rom, you can change the voltages at later time and etc. It's HP GPU but it boots just fine in my 5920G.
