    P170EM with GTX970m bios and vbios

    Hello from Romania.
    I have an old Multicom (Clevo) P170EM, with Prema BIOS P150EM_17_11_PM_v2 (from old times, when it was free on internet). By the way, i still have this bios available for someone who wants it.
    I buyied an Clevo GTX970m 6GB MXM video card to upgrade my dead card, but I cannot make it to function properly in my notebook. I understand that I need a special Prema vBIOS to make it work on my notebook.
    So, i ask anyone who has this vBIOS on his computer (or can save it from an working card in a laptop) to help sending it to me.
    Any ideas are welcome.
    Thank you.

      Re: P170EM with GTX970m bios and vbios

      I got a Dell GTX675m from a friend, but is not detected in BIOS, it says at VGA : N/A (with the GTX970m it says EMPTY).
      I know that a lot of people says that Dell video cards do not work in Clevo notebook, but why? Is it hardware or the vBIOS? In pictures, the two boards (Clevo and Dell) looks the same to me.
      I can desolder and reprogram the vBIOS chip with Clevo BIOS, but is hard to do this and I need to know if this is the only solution, that someone did it and it worked...
      Thank you.

              The card was fried (some memoryes were short-circuited), so after i get them down from the board, i did made some tests ..
              I put Clevo bios on it and is recognized by name in my notebook bios correctly. Windows also recognized it correctly and tryed to install a driver. But after that, other memoryes fried too (memory voltage was zero again) and the card was not detected
              So, my opinion is: a Dell (Alienware) cards works in P170EM, but with a Clevo BIOS (i did not tested it with Dell bios).
              I'll be back with news.

                  Clevo P170em BIOS 2mb Request
                  by alensan
                  Hi,

                  I had an unfortunate accident when I was updating the bios chip for a Clevo P170em and I brick it so I have a CH341a to reprogram the chip but when I tried to flash the official bios from Clevo I see that the official bios is 4mb and the chip says 2mb so the software is all the time saying that it can't be flash because the size.

                  By any chance someone have the 2mb bios that I can use to flash the chip.

                  Thanks

                  ASUS TP500LA BIOS request/repair/merge?
                  by jbonavita
                  Hi, my laptop wont boot at all
                  With original bios no POST, only LED lights
                  With alternative BIOS from model TP500LN (flashed via programmer) the notebook works again
                  Some issues
                  A- with bios from 500LN, it won't update from bios of model 500LA (from 500LN v203 to 500LA v300)
                  B- If updated from 500LN version 203 to 300, the battery stops being recognized

                  Things I tried

                  1- Update / clear ME: Took the non working bios, made a backup, and did this: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...theory/trouble...

                  [REQUEST] Dell G3 3579 BIOS Password & AMI Protected Range/BIOS Guard Unlock
                  by zenius
                  Hello, I have an old Dell G3 3579 (ST: 2WQ7LP2-8FC8) with a newer 8FC8 BIOS password. I have successfully attached to the flash chip (W25Q128JVSQ) on the motherboard with a CH341A programmer and made several modifications using Intel FIT (e.g., allow software SPI write) without bricking. I was also able to boot to a modified GRUB shell where I attempted to edit many BIOS security related options like BIOS Guard/Lock, Flash Signature Override, ME FW Image Re-Flash, etc.

                  Unfortunately, some of these modifications like to Intel BIOS Guard failed because it is fused into the PCH. Also,...

                  Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 (serial number: MP2BFZEF) bios request
                  by Wahaz
                  Hello,

                  I have a Lenovo Thinkbook 15 G2 ITL i5 Laptop (serial number: MP2BFZEF) that when I turn it on, the led on the power button lights up for 5 seconds, then goes out. There's no display and nothing happens.
                  So I thought it was a Bios problem.
                  I found 3 bios chips on the board, which I read with a bios programmer: two XMC model bios chips and a Winbond model bios chip. Each XMC model bios chip has two partitions named XM25QH128A [3.3V] and XT25F128A [3.3V]. And the Winbond model bios chip has three partitions named W25Q80BL 3.3V, W25Q80xV 3.3V and W25Q80DV 3.3V....
