    Hello! As above

    I do have one after searching, but when I flashed it the screen didn't show although I was able to boot into Windows (the welcome screen sound was played)

    Thankfully I was able to do a blind flash, so now I'm back with a Clevo 6990m vBios flashed (credits to the thread by svl7)

    I did a repeat but still didn't work.. Perhaps it was a bad vBios file

    Help would be appreciated, thanks!

    Hi everyone,

    I have the same problem. Bought myself a 6990m off Ebay only to realise (too late) its a Clevo model (Green PCB).

    I've read through a lot of the NBR forums and where I've found svl7's instructions on how to blind flash but all the links to the Dell Vbios files are either corrupt or deleted from the hosting sites.

    Does anyone have any please? Happy to PM anyone if they can email the files to me in return.

    Also if I do flash the Clevo card to a Dell Vbios, will it even work, or has someone else tried and failed to get it working?

    Much appreciate the help in advance

    JK
