I get a little problem with my graphics card, old get burned so... i bought a new one. When i put it to notebook windows dont "see" that card. Massage in device menager is Standard graphic card VGA (not gtx or something). I cannot install any driver for nvidia graphics because something block it. Friend told me its bios, then i download and install that one:

So.. i tried to upgrade the 8935g with a 250m ( got a green PCB model since it was the only one available at the time. The dead 4670 was red ) and... surprise surprise.. bios doesn't even recognize it, yet alone windows.. i tried updating both system and video bios - nvflash does recognize the gpu and knows not to install different model roms... so the card should at least be visible even if it were to be hypothetically dead or poorly mounted - which it isn't. I also tried flashing a custom S-bios with some options enabled and V-bios rom integrated... still no go. System doesn't beep, it just boots with REALLY LOW brightness, 1 % would be an overstatement - If i flash a bright light closely at the screen i can barely see to navigate into windows.. and i can open GPU-z which as well doesn't recognize the card... Tried different outputs.. monitor,TV... Increasing brightness with FN keys doesn't work either.. So, what gives? Is the pci slot dead, card dead... wrong pcb color ^^ incompatibility... can the bios be modded somehow to allow this card ? Any suggestions / help is deeply appreciated. Thank you !
