    Can someone PLEASE either upload, provide a link or email me a copy of their MASTER vBios for a HD5870 from Alienware M17x? I would be very grateful. :)

    Thanks Katalin.

    What I need, though, is for someone to send me their .bin file so I can blind flash it manually, the Dell link you sent will only allow flashing on an M17x, but I need to be able to do a blind flash on an M15x - long story!!!

    Anyone out there able to help?

    If you have access to another PC, you can extract the vBIOS with 7zip from it.
    Install 7zip, open the .exe file downloaded from Dell and extract only the vBIOS. Copy that to your USB key and blind flash ;)
