    OH DEAR
    I have a Marvel G400 TV. I was working on a file at home, decided to take the doc to the office, found an old floppy put it in the slot, changed my mind about formatting the floppy and shut down the computer for the night. Got up in the morning switched on the computer. The floppy I left in A drive turned out to be a very very old flash bios that had a boot exe and, yep goodbye G400. Blank screen on boot up, dead, dead dead. Left the G400 in the AGP slot, put in a PCI card booted ok, made a rescue disk from the latest bios download tried to load with and without the PCI card in on boot from rescue disk. Nothing. Tried to update G400 bios after booting with PCI card. No go.

    HELP

      Went there did the things. Message is invalid pins offset. No marvel pins on the site.

          I'm mailing you a set of PIN's for the G400 Marvel and directions as to how to upload them. Just don't use 'em until I check with Matrox about if US PIN's will work on a PAL card.

          Use at your own risk....
