    I've got one of those... It's basically an MSI Megabook L745 except rebranded apparently. I'm not sure of any differences between the two models.

    What happened was, the fan failed, I replaced the fan and discovered the GPU was just dead. I shelved it until recently.

    I bought a different Geforce card. The new card, on the die, it reads: "G730-GTA-N-A2" and as "Model" (on the PCP) it reads: P473. Now the old GPU die reads: GF-GO7600-A2 and the "Model" reads: MS-10422. Once I installed the new GPU, the picture was heavily distorted. Now I gave it some thought (and managed to find some ATI card that gives me the similar distortions) I think it's more of a "I was stupid and ordered a part not made specifically for this laptop" issue...

    So my question here is, how do I get a hold of the proper BIOS file and how do I flash it, since I don't have an OS installed in this device?
