    I bought a secondhand R32 thinkpad. for some reason the bios of the graphics chip (ATI MOBILITY 7000) is not present.
    I have tried to flash several other ati bios'es but without luck. can someone please provide me with a genuine bios?
    The procedure to acquire your graphic's board bios is quit simple. Via a biosflash tool such - for example atiflash - one can make a backup file of the bios. The file is saved as *.rom or *.bin.

    help or any advice in this matter is very much appreciated! [ :)]

    for the information:

    I have image only as long as there is no driver installed (OS: WINDOWS XP). Also, CRT output only is 60mhz[xx(] (to improve this i need a biosflash).
    After rebooting when I have installed the ati driver which is provided by ibm, the screen stop working. To re-enable the screen i have to start windows in safe mode and disable the device/uninstall the driver. But again, when CRT output only is 60mhz.
