    I upgraded my Aspire 8735G to a 5650M, but now my screencolours are not correct. View attachment 87545

    The HDMI and VGA port aren't working.
    What can I do?

    Is the cards from the same manufacturer? People reporting same issue upgrading their Alienwares from for example DELL cards to Clevo cards (a bit cheaper i believe) And experiencing the same issue you have with the HDMI ports. I believe they are waiting for a custom vrom to flash on their cards.

    I wouldn't know where to find a 565o roms, have you googled around for people with similar issues?

    I don't know what manufacturer. There is nearly no one, who upgraded the graphics card of this laptop. I had the same display problem (rainbow colours) with a 5870M and i bricked it after flashing to a wrong vBIOS.

    Aiii, you got yourself in a pickle... I understand you need to find somebody with the same cards and than you can revive it, but no idea how!
