    HI
    I have a toshiba satellite p100 with a nvidia 7600go 256mb(MXM).
    I have try nvflash and it doesnt seem to work. Is there any utility that would let me dump the image?
    And is there maybe any web site that may have my bios file?
    Thanks for your time.

    It will happen if VGA use system bios instead of dedicated VGA BIOS.

    Toshiba's VGA bios is inside of the system BIOS. You will not be able to dump it.
