    I need to find someone to reflash the VBIOS on a 670M for me. My P170HM does not recognize the card and locks up so I cannot do it myself. I have the card and the file, just need a machine to flash it on.

    Is there anyone within an hour or two drive of Southern Maryland that could assist me? Or do you know of any companies that will flash it if I send it to them? TIA!

    Thank you, the card is on its way via UPS. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help.

    Hey bro,

    I got the card this afternoon and flashed it with the bios provided by Prema. I dropped it off at UPS this evening so you should receive it in a couple days.

    I did my part but whether it works for you is all on Prema ;)

    Good luck my friend :)

    It was waiting for me when I got home, but I had to wait until all 4 kids were asleep to try it out lol.

    Yes, it worked! Thank you so much. I turned the system on and it booted up just fine.

    I had some trouble with the drivers and modifying the .inf file, but I eventually found an older driver that worked.

    Bhuelsman is a great guy who really helped me out. To anyone working with him in the future, I give him a 5 star recommendation!

    Glad to hear it worked for you.

    The $20 you sent has been donated to Prema for all his hard work.
