Thanks again, John.Okay, I've attached another file to this post that will blind flash your VG.8PG06.001 / 8600M GT to BIOS version 60.84.62.00.29 and then reboot the system once flashing is complete (hopefully with some display output). Same procedure as the backup only this time it will flash, it should not require any manual input.
If after 10 minutes there is no sign of auto reboot or display output press "Y" once, wait a minute then press "Y" again and wait for 10 minutes then power down and restart.
If you still get no display we will need to verify that the flash took place by doing another backup, if we verify the flash took place and we still have no output then I would have to say the card is dead. In this case I'll send a 3rd file to restore the card to its delivered state and you can try to RMA with the seller.
This is done entirely at your own risk, I cannot offer any guarantee.
I followed the instructions, but no display during or after the procedure.
I attach the backup.rom retrieved after the flash, but it looks as if the card is dead or otherwise incompatible. It seems that RMA is the route forward, but would like to reflash the original, if you can help as offered.
Thanks for all this help for what looks like tilting at windmills. Where to next?
