    K I did something really stupid. I changed the device ID in nibitor from GTX280m to GTX 285 and bricked my video card. Now I get a scrambled video/no video at all or just backlight on. I can eaven go to windows or boot back to nvflash but I dont seem to succeed in re-flashing.

    Model Clevo w860cu


    Once I flashed a GTX 285m from d900F to this one and was able to blind flash, now I no clue.

    Please help

    so w860 have same prob
    the machine will check the core id directly from both the gpu and vbios, if find mismatch......blaskscreen
    since 280m/285m core id and board id are different, so try YES y YES y / y YES y YES combined

Now im getting signal of dead video card two beeps at start and no video at all :(
