    Yep, looks like you bought a card that doesn't need a bios in the notebook it was sold in because (I think) its built into the system bios. Ergoon has a great thread on how to solder on your own, but it may or may not be missing a few resistors as well. Honestly if I were to go to all that trouble I would just go for a hd4650 like he did. Good luck!

    some say that videobios can be embedded in the BIOS of laptop, but I have no idea how to do it. for a start, we need to understand, from a laptop this card. maybe she did non-working, I do not know

    I doubt your system bios would have enough memory to store both, unless it was designed to do so. Here is the thread I mentioned in the last post

    great thanks for link, i saw that modding sBIOS really works for ATI cards, but i didn't saw examples for Nvidia cards.
    i think, i need :
    1. sBIOS and BIOS editor
    2. vBIOS - i found bios for same 9600m GT with 512Mb DDR3
    3. rename vBIOS to OPROM02.ROM and put it into sBIOS (option ROM directory)
    4. save this sBIOS and flash...
    it looks easy..
    about memory fo sBIOS -
    this guy just integrate vBIOS, i understand correctly?
