Guest Guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 I've been waiting for the 9600m gt i bought from the ebay seller whose link was posted a few weeks ago. Now that I have it, and had plug it into my 5920g, i can proudly say, IT DOESNT WORK! The laptop could not even post, therefore, I cant blind flash. I've tried this out with the newest bios for 5920g, the 1.318. This is just a heads up for others who wish to buy this card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a heads up for others who wish to buy this card When you say it doesn't POST do you mean it turns on but nothing happens or the laptop doesn't power on? Because if nothing happens you still might be able to blind flash it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Laptop powers on, but it doesn't post, as in, it doesn't enter bios. The display screen remains blank, whatever I press doesn't seem to register, the media key lights just turn on, but the fan doesn't spin at all.

Guest Guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just to be sure, What're the symptoms of a laptop being in need of a blind flash of its VGA bios? Does the laptop boot into windows regardless, just that the laptop has no display? Or does the laptop gets stuck at the bios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both: when I tried biosmodding my HD3650 and the flasher crashed, the laptop wouldn't get POSt, I could hear cd the cd drive spin but it would just sit there like it was waiting for something, I just set the bios to boot from usb first, created a autoexc.bat and successfully revived the card.

nassevis Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 the hd3650 256mb ddr3 from osstore on ebay works with acer machines without bios flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see... I'll try the blind flash... but could you tell me what command to put in the bat file? and the bat name, it's autoexec.bat right?

Guest Guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I have the same problem as you have. I installed my newly-bought 9600m gt on my 5920g, but the computer can't enter mortherboard bios. The screen is blank, the power is on, but it just stuck there and I can't enter DOS mode by using usb boot stick, much less blind flash the card. Maybe the problem is the motherboard bios. Because it can't recognize the card and thus you can not get your computer boot normally. So I can say that 5920G CAN'T BE UPGRADE TO 9600M GT.

Guest Guest Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 OP here, yea, looks like this version of 9600m gt is incompatible with our 5920g, this sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I bought a 8600GT for my 5920G any have similar problems, Windows loads (I can hear it!) but the screen doesn't light up, the eBay guy said it had an Acer BIOS but it's not working...upgrading from a 8600GS BTW...

I have the exact same problem with my acer 5920G, with acer vbios and and my current card is 8600M GS, boots up with black screen. I thought my card may have been broke but it would appear not.

Guest snirpo Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 There now is someone who sells a 9600m gt with acer bios Link. Does anybody know if it would work in the Acer 5920G? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAlien Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Where EXACTLY did you buy your card ? Can you send me the link from the auction ? I think I got ripped off with my card. And if it is the same guys, you probably got ripped off also. Your card might be engeneering sample and therefore it is not possible to flash it with that ACER vBios. I think you might have a pretty simmilar problem as I have. Your notbook doesn`t boot with the "stock" vBios and most likely all other vBios`s don`t work on it eighter as it is an engeneering sample and they usually come with different memory and most of the time a "corrupt" GPU Chip. Please provide me the link in a pm or something so we can evaluate my theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAlien Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Alright, lucky you. Different guy. (At least different username on ebay). The pics on that auction show an acer vBios. So I think you got a normal card. Just interested: What memory do you have on your card ? Can you send me your vBios ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kompila Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I have the same notebook with a 8600GT 512Mb. If you want i can send my original Bios to see if you can flash it for work. I put a link here to mine: http://www.megaupload.com/es/?d=7HXG3XBC Try it and tell if it works properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiluke Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 he's a chinese seller, i bought a gs and gt 8600, it works perfectly with acer 4520G and 5520G, problem is temp 5920G might have a bios that disable mxm capability for 9xxx series, there is not 5920G with 9xxx gpu available you guys did ask if it works on 5920G? if you can get a hands on 5520G you can test if the card is working or defective he sold hundreds of cards in taobao, and visits this chinese forum link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batteryfast Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I think you can just use the org bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest apolus Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 has anyone tried changing the device ID on the vbios of the 9600M MXM module to the device ID of the 8600M MXM module? maybe we can trick the bios to let the notebook boot?

Guest Guest Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 But you must do a blind flash its hard to do it you must memorize the keyboard in win98 boot mode. So theres a good new you can use ati 4650 in acer 5920 here in forum in turkey you can see screenshots and 3dmark06 score. http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_31695538/m..._1/key_//tm.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nuke33 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Here is one Acer Spare Part with 1GB ddr3 memory: http://www.ipc-computer.de/it-pi-n-Acer_VG...Id-1881717.html and another one with ddr2: http://www.notebook-doctor.com/it-pi-n-Ace...Id-1881718.html I am also very interested in testing one of these cards with my 5920g, but i dont want to waste my money in case i does not work. The turkish guy said he took his card from a friends acer notebook, without flashing or something like that. The only Acer NBs i know that are equipped with a 4650 are the aspire 6530,6930,8930 and 8935. Would be very nice if someone could confirm that this card is working with 5920g for real :) Greetz Nuke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lookin Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 If you are having problems with 8xxx cards, make sure your mainboard bios is latest version. It has been said the 5920g bios will not support the 9600m gt. There are reports of the 5920g supporting the 9500gs. The 5920 will be replaced by the 5930, they might not ever fix the 5920g bios at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
