Hi,

I have recently bought Geforce 8600gt 512mb to replace broken one in my Aspire 5920, similar model but with less memory.

When trying to remove write protection on new card i get error message:

NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.100)

Adapter: GeForce 8600M GT     (10DE,0407,1025,0121) H:--:NRM B:01,PCI,D:00,F:00

The display may go *BLANK* on and off for up to 10 seconds during access to the EEPROM depending on your display adapter and output device.

Identifying EEPROM...
EEPROM ID (20,0000) : Unknown

And trying to write acer rom doesnt seem to do anything, still stuck with black screen.

Did I buy some sort of borked card, or just doing something wrong?

Sounds like the software you are using is old. Have you tried using a more up to date software like nvFlash.v5.95 to do the flashing. Here is the link I just found. http://download.guru3d.com/NVFlash-5.95.0.1-download-2590.html#download
