    Hi Everyone

    I have big problem with my laptop. As u know you can't uptade your amd drivers to the 6990 if u have an integrated graphics. So in order to do it i just downloaded unlocked bios then disabled it, installed 12.8 drivers. Everything was great untill i enabled my iGPU. Now my alien is not running. I can hear only something like clicking every second and nothing is displayed. I reseted cmos- didnt help. I had no beeping or etc. Tried to run it by pressing and holding fn, holding power for 30secs. Nothing is working. Anybody knows something about that issue ?

    Thanks !

    Hey..

    I copied this correctly named .fd file on pendrive because only that one file has to be copied ? Not full bios ?
    And did everything like it is shown in tutorial. Fans are runing on full speed but nothing is displayed and i hear no beeps.
    any other options ?
