    ok after the flash of vbios, the screen is black and I can not see anything become probably my 7970M is bricked, I used this vbios: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/177709/177709 obviously the wrong one
    for the flash I have used this guide: http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...modded-vbios-for-clevo-p1xxhm-laptops.688656/

    I guess my only option is a blind-flash using the correct vbios for my 7970M but do not know where to find it

    and in any case the procedure would be the same? I could use autoexec.bat the linked guide?

    sorry for my english I hope is understandable, please helpme

    I'm still trying to do the blind-flash, but it seems that the various vbios I tried are wrong. I tried these vbios:

    https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/128794/clevo-hd7970m-2048-120605

    in this thread i tryed the vbios provided from svl7 and vbios provided by prema,

    none of these worked

    the stock vbios for my gpu is BR42768.008 the same that i tryed for do the first flash vbios attempt but maybe that vbios had enduro

    I do not know what to do, if someone knows and can help me I would be grateful
