Nvidia 9600MGT MXM - need bios

[sparker1]

I bought an Acer 5735 with this removable card in it. The trouble is there is an insulting racist message that shows on the screen before the bios loads and I can't get it off. I can't sell the laptop with this on it! Because it is the first thing that I see on the screen before the bios I think it is coming from the video card bios. Here is a summary of the message:

OBSCENE MESSAGE
VERSION 62.94.3c.00.17
ENGINEERING USE-NOT FOR PRODUCTION
Copyright C 1996-2008 Nvidia Corp
512 RAM

I have a bios programmer and if I could get a copy of the bios for this card I can erase the chip and put the new bios on it. I hope that will get rid of the message. If I had more knowledge I could probably edit the existing bios but I don't have this ability.

Does anybody have a bios for this graphics card? Grateful for help. I've attached aphoto of the type of card.

I'm as blind as a bat! I saw that site before but didn't see the download button even though it's a huge one. Got it now, thanks. I'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know how I got on. Why anybody would put something like that on a video card and then sell it beats me.

Well, the bios you steered me to was fine. When I put the chip in the programmer I could see the words I wanted to get rid of so I could have just deleted them I guess or over written them. Instead I used the bios from that site and it loaded up fine. Some trouble getting the chip back on the graphics card but all good now.
