I updated the laptop's bios using Armory Crate, and after the laptop rebooted the Graphics card shows unknown bios and gives an error 43. i can install GPU drivers but after a reboot, it loses the drivers. I can still see the GPU in NVFLash --list so i don't believe the GPU is bricked. I believe if i can find a copy of the ROM file to install the Bios on the GPU it will work again, but Asus support just says this file is not available to the general public, even tho it can be quite easily exported if i had access to the same laptop :)

This is an Asus FX506LI-I58512B1T
- Nvidia GTX 1650 ti GPU
- Windows 10 Pro
- 16Gigs Ram

Please see attached specs from CPU-Z

Hallo,

Sir, rule No.0 says: ALWAYS DO A BACKUP DUMP BEFORE U MESS WITH FIRMWARES!!! ;o)))) I know, too late now...

Do the dump now!!! Even if its not fully healthy and working.

I wonder if there is a backup file saved automatically within the video bios update procedure for disaster recovery scenario. Too bad if its not... but I would check anyway temp directories of Windows and other ASUS Armoury Crate related directories in user profile and other places if maybe you will find some suspicious .DAT or .BIN file.

Your approach seems to be right but to get to exactly the same model/type FX506LI-I58512B1T with the same GPU would be a pure miracle facelifted by great luck. BUT I don't really think, you need it! All you need is any brand of laptop with this "device ID 10DE 1F95" TU117M GPU (https://devicehunt.com/view/type/pci/vendor/10DE/device/1F95), its dump respectively. And that shall not be that hard to find.

You just need to be patient now since you were so impatient before...

Good Luck

Thank you for the reply, it appears that whe i flash the card now, it picks up all data accept the ram, and when rebooting it throws the GPU bios away again.

What you mean by "throws the GPU bios away" ? Would you post some photos of the flash procedure? I kinda cant imagine how would the system itself read/write into the vbios chip during POST, that is nonsense...

Anyway, I think the RAM chips are same on the classic cards as they are on mobile cards, you just need to know what chips are on your card and maybe find a vbios file for a card with the same chips.
