    Hi, guys! I recently flashed my 9800m gt video card on my Sager np8660 and got Blank! though i can hear it is downloading, but not to Windows and i can also flash it blindly to any other .rom file, but it didn't help! So i can't send it to Sager, cause i'm back to my country in Europe and my country laws prohibit sending stuff abroad more than 200 euros.. I figured may be to find CMOS battery, to clear it, but i couldn't.. I also tried to connect through external monitor, but nothing again! may be you, guys, know how i can get this problem solved?
