    hello,

    i've accidently killed my ati mobility x700 128mb bios, and now i'm looking for an equivalent bios. unfortunately i cannot download a suitable bios from the acer or ati homepage.
    so i need your help, dumping a bios is pretty simple and it takes less than five minutes. either dump it using ati-tray-tools or use the even better programm ati tool.
    please dump it twice so i can make sure that atleast one of the dumps is correct.
    link to the ati tool homepage: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
    link to the ati tool download:
    http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/ATITool_0.24.exe

    how to dump an ati bios with ati tool:
    start ati tool, click on the settings button, select miscellaneous from the drop down menu and finally click the dump bios button.

    after you have dumped it twice, please zip it and attach it to this thread using the "manage attachments" feature.

    thank you in advance.

    I'm going to suggest that only somebody that has an Acer gives you the BIOS - my card is an X700, but it is different than the ones that are put into the Ferrari.

    as long as it is a x700 with 128mb ram feel free to post it. it will help me out, for a fact - i know that it works as i've read alot of positive user reports on that subject.

    thanks for helping out

    I've attached the X700 BIOS from my Asus Z70Va. Default clockspeeds are 350/300.

    thank you! unfortunately the bios contains only x81 bytes until the end, can you try to dump it again with ati tool (if you have already used that please try ati tray tools)

    again, thank you for your time!
