    Hello,

    I flash the gpu's bios of my acer 6935g (9600m gt) with a bad .rom : the device's name was 9700m gt...

    Is it possible to reset the vbios or to flash it with the correct .rom?

    i've no display but an usb key

    Yes it is possible to flash it- you just have to do it blind.
    Boot from USB stick with an flasher and a proper vBIOS, type in the command and hope for the best.

    Appears the 6935G has an Insyde BIOS. Try the Insyde emergency bios recovery process here.

    ok but i'm sure that I don't touch to the bios on the motherboard (only gpu)... And ii detects all my device (just doesn't boot)

    i think there's an error message that doesn't allow to boot...
