    Hello ,

    I installed the new clevo gtx 680m vbios on tech inferno it doesn't post anymore, it shows bios symbol and version but then doesn't do the sharp process , and beeps 3 times and then goes to a back screen with a blinking underscore on the top right . So is there a way I can flash the vbios? Thanks for the help


    EDIT#: Well it was fixed it was the new gtx 680m version vBIOS that messed it up and I had to fake out the hdd so it could boot to he USB

    Why is everyone bricking their stuff this weekend...sorry had to say that. :rolleyes:

    Did you flash the 149Kb vBIOS?

    One user with P370EM vBIOS on GTX680M with HM Clevo reported that the system booted after about 10 minutes sitting at the Bootscreen.

    When I flashed the K5000M on my system with the 149KB vBIOS, I had to mod the main BIOS to remove the whole MXM section, then fake enable optimus so it still boots and then blindflash the card back...but that only worked because my sbios chip is on a socket...the GTX680M BIOS chip is easy to program, the K5000M on the other hand doesn't even have reachable solder joints...

    As long as it still boots from a device blindflash is possible that way...be carefull guys I had two K5000M vBios that didn't do that...
    ...anyway, I am glad you got it fixed... :)
