computertechy · Feb 14, 2010

title says it all realy :laugh:

, now atiflash wont detect my card??? and i have a very expensive paper weight :shadedshu:

shadedshu:shadedshu

help would be very appreciated... :toast:

FIX FIX FIX!!!!

i fixed it all thanks to this

and some help from wizzard with finding the correct chip :toast:

http://home.no/rogerh99/1.pdf (thanks to Frogger for posting this previously) :toast:

had to bridge pin 1 & 8 of U8 chip(on the back of the card) & U37 chip(on the front of the card) notice that their are 2 bios chips for each GPU core(like the 4870X2) pin 1 should have a dot on the IC or a arrow pointing to it, and pin 8 should be the exact oposite.

DATASHEET ON FLASH ROM

the flash chips should be named Pm25LV or something along those lines

atiflash see's the card when those pins are bridged but doesnt allow flashing, just unbridge the pins and flash....job done

FRONT OF CARD

BACK OF CARD

Hope this helps

PM ME IF YOU WANT HELP

EDIT: doing the front bios was extremely hard with a water block on it, but after some blutak and some superglue...job done LMAO

I got no solution. But why the f*** would you do that lol??? looking from your sys specs. You got a XFX 5970 BE like me which costs ALOT.

DOM · Feb 14, 2010

give it to me

Assassin48 · Feb 14, 2010

Put the 7600gt in the first pciE slot and the 5970 in the second slot

Force flash the second card with the correct bios, let me see if i can find the correct line

shevanel · Feb 14, 2010

im lurking this one.. interesting.

Loosenut · Feb 14, 2010

*subscribed* Just out of morbid curiosity :eek:

Assassin48 · Feb 14, 2010

Ok here is the line to use

atiflash -f -p 1 BIOS NAME here

ex:
atiflash -f -p 1 5970.bin

Make sure the 5970 is in the second PCIE slot

computertechy · Feb 14, 2010

thanks assassin but that's what i was trying to do anyway

still wont detect the 5970 :confused:

DrPepper · Feb 14, 2010

Send it to me I can fix it

You might never hear from me again because I might "die".

GSquadron · Feb 14, 2010

One of the stupidies i have heard for 2010, but it is like forming an atomic bomb with wood

Anyway great "unsucessful" try, seriously. Unfortunately for you that card wont explode like a bomb does

Hmm, if force flashing wont work then your cards is gone :shadedshu

Maybe you can rma or something, or sell it for really cheap

EDIT*
Its bad enough he bricked his card but name calling/spamming really ?

GSquadron · Feb 14, 2010

First bid 5$. AHAHAHA

computertechy · Feb 14, 2010

think is if atiflash wont detect my nvidia 7600 in slot 1 then what hope has it got of finding the 7970GT :laugh:

in slot 2? atiflash doesnt detect nvidia cards i dont think???

GSquadron · Feb 14, 2010

You must buy the hydra 200 mobo capable to flash it again
I think you better go to a shop and let them fix it for you

LOL!!!!

arroyo · Feb 14, 2010

That's epic fail. I've flashed my motherboard once with wrong bios. There was only one solution - Uniflash. You can download it from:
http://rom.by/
I know it is russian website, but they have tools to cross-flash from one bios to other, even for graphics cards.

kurosagi01 · Feb 14, 2010

can i ask how the hell did you do that...and why?

I could reflash it using my 4890 since atiflash would detect that.

Frogger · Feb 14, 2010

AS a last resort try http://home.no/rogerh99/1.pdf
the link is dead

computertechy · Feb 14, 2010

anyone know the location of the 5970 bios chip and what pins are what???? lol.....

Lionheart · Feb 14, 2010

Why would you do that lol!

r9 · Feb 14, 2010

Yes this is very common. Happened to me thousand of times. No it didn`t

.

douglatins · Feb 14, 2010

Only if you selected the wrong file while flashing, but why would a 5970 be in the same folder as a 7600GT i mean, C'MON.

TVman · Feb 14, 2010

stupidity has no boundaries....!!!,im truly intrigued what whent thru your head when you did something like this:shadedshu Anyway enjoy your paper weight :rolleyes:

computertechy · Feb 14, 2010

i like to make DOS more simple so i rename the image files to 0 & 1 and put in my image folder, but i forgot i also flashed my 7600 recently and because i bricked my card using the fan fix bios from xfx and had to jump on the server with the 7600gt to sort the usb stick i just wasnt thinking.... and ended up flashing my 7600 for gpu 1 and....this happened.

im asking for fixes, not stupid questions.:shadedshu

ordering another 5970 and i am gonna pay XFX to sort this out as my card has no warranty because i slapped a water-block on it. nothing wrong with having 2 5970's if they get it going :rockout:

but the bottleneck is gonna be :cry:
