Looking for GT 230M DDR3 MXM II vBIOS

The other day I've got a really cheap GT 230M for MXM II of my oldie acer 7720zg. After gathering tons of information about this specific gpu, I figured that I've to solder eeprom (with GT 230M vBios from Toshiba A500 sBIOS) and replace one resistor to about 36 kohms on its board and that is exactly what I did. Now i put it in laptop and... still black screen welcomes me. Again I've been reading internets, and found out that vBIOS that I have is possibly for MXM-A board. I can't find ANYWARE vBIOS specifically for MXM II board.

My soldering proved to be working, as nvflash recognize eeprom that I've installed and is completely capable to flash it if I want, so that's not the problem. For the record it's Pm25LV512.

So if anyone out there have working GT 230M MXM II, could I ask you pretty nicely to backup its vBIOS and send it over to me? I would much appreciate it.

Just in case vBIOS that I've got is in attachment.

Just come by to let you know, that I've figured it out, and my GT 230M works like a dream ;]
It seems that vBIOS above is working after all, so if you look for MXM II GT 230M 1GB DDR3 vBIOS, this one above will work.

Hello!

I have this card:
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6606676209.html?orderId=66775450273097

Computer: Acer 5720ZG ICL50

I installed the card, I can hear windows booting up but the screen is black. No image even during POST, display never turns on.
I tried blind flashing the bios file but no luck, still no display.

Is it possible to hack this card to be compatible with my computer? You mentioned soldering - I have soldering tools and resistors but dont know exactly which resistor to solder.

Hope you can shed some light on this, thanks and good job on having it work properly! :)
