Need VBIOS upgrade for SIS661FX on MSI 661FM3-V
Posted: Sat Dec 15, 2007 5:53 am
Hello,
I am having problems with setting 1440x900 resolution on my SIS661FX integrated graphic controller. It appears I would need VBIOS v2.28.00 or higher, but MSI has not released a new BIOS upgrade since 2005. I have already upgraded to the latest video and monitor drivers, that doesn't help.
It is an AWARD BIOS on the MSI 661FM3-V motherboard; the direct download link is:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func ... &type=bios
Note: I have followed cp's tutorial on how to replace VBIOS, but the problem is that the SIS 66x BIOS file in the tutorial (330_249.zip) is unreadable by any version of cbrom I could find (2.07, 2.15, 2.20 - all show just two items of garbage, instead of several items like in the tutorial, so I can't extract the new VGA). I have tried exploring other upgraded BIOSes (Gigabyte, ASUS, etc) but again cbrom reports just garbage...
However, cbrom properly shows the contents of my BIOS (the one at the MSI link above), so I would appreciate either getting the extracted VGA file that would work in my BIOS or (preferably) getting the entire MSI BIOS patched with new VGA.
Thanks a lot in advance!
