M15x wont start

Hi everybody I recently bought a 7970m and installed it and it worked great. I read that you had to undervolt it to avoid overheating so I did that using ati win flash along with svls modded vbios from here AMD 7970m - modified VBIOS

but now whenever I start up my m15x the caps and scroll lock lights flash. What can i do??

 

Whoops that was a mistake there! Never use win flash. Only ATI flash from a bootable usb stick.

Are you able to carry out a blind flash? Prepare a usb stick to make it bootable then put ati flash on it. Try to flash back to your original clocks and voltages. I assume you kept a backup of your original vbios? I can provide with a vbios if you don't.

This is called a blind flash as in you can't see what you are doing. The command to type at the invisible command prompt would be : atiflash -p 0 VBIOS.ROM (of course you can called the rom file whatever you want so long as it is 8 characters long only)

 

yea i found how to do a blind flash here http://forum.notebookreview.com/sag...-7970m-modded-vbios-clevo-p1xxhm-laptops.html tried it with the auto execute bat file and the original vbios but nothing happened. The caps and scroll light just kept flashing. If i tried typing anything the computer would just beep

 

Hmm any chance you can return it and claim DOA to get replacement? It might be bricked :'(

 

naw can't return it. I have been talking to svl7 and hes going to sell me a vbios chip so I can just solder it onto the card

 

Nice. Perhaps you could get a 8970M vbios chip while you are at it

 

does it require much skill to re solder the chip? Cuz I suck at machine made soldering

 

haha ill stick with 7970m for right now.

Idk how to solder. Im just having a friend do it for me since he already has all the tools

 

That's good, hopefully everything will go smoothly and the machine will work as intended.

 

thank you. ill keep you guys updated
