hey computertechy, well i have pulled the every thing off the graphics card and seen three chips with 8 pins(4 on each side), do u no if i have to join pin 1 and 8 on all three chips or not, im not sure, your info on this would be realy helpful. thanx
ok thanks for helpin, read the other thread about the same prob im havin, dont want to solder pins if i dont have to so ill try joining a peace of solder wire to pin 1 and 8 with blu tac,then remove it if it is detected in atiflash so i can reflash, and hope that works.
hey bazookajoe thank for the reply , i have tried what u said as i have a second 5870 , but as the card that i stuffed up is not being reconized by the pc (windows and atiflash dos) i cant reflash it forsome reason. still get "No Adapters Found" in atiflash
hi, as the title says i have flashed my 5870 with a 4870 bios, now that may sound very dumb but i'll explain how that came to be.
i was tring to fix a 4870 card by flashing it with a 4870 bios so i had my 5870 in the first pci-e slot a the 4870 in the second loaded up atiflash from dos then...
