Hi

I already did tons of reseats.And its till missing.

may require PCI vga card or [use another motherboard with on-board vga / igp {integrated graphic processor}]
Using a PCI vga card [attach monitor to this]
Place 7950 in primary PCIe slot 0
atiflash -ai 0

or

Place 7950 in primary PCIe slot 0
& Blind flash
[idea posted here by Ferrum Master]

Blind Flashing
prepare the system as if were able to see video on monitor
write down commands on paper
*wait till the bootable flash drive gets to the DOS prompt [*go make a cup of tea]
type the commands on to the keyboard
wait a few minutes for flash process to finish
reboot the system
remove the flash drive


note: don't forget to take a break, get some rest

I moved my Graphic card to another slot and scanned it via atiflash no luck but i keep getting detected at 0 that its always the same chip and i know that i have on my main a tahiti one and on other something older forgot whats the name . Is like my graphic dead my fans run with no problems

Hi

This is the last trick I am aware of, if this dose not work get a professional to flash the card, good luck

Will require the following;
- onboard vga / igp, pci vga card or have a dual pcie mobo and spare pcie vga card

- bootable flash drive
Download - HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool - v2.1.8 & Windows 98 System Files
go here - http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/browse.php?c=21

click Primary Download unzip the files to a folder on your HDD; make sure your USB Memory stick is attached to your PC; open HP USB Disk

Storage Format Tool v2.1.8 ; select Creat a DOS startup disk/ select: using DOS system files located at: (these are the files you have just downloaded): browse to the files in win98boot; then start the process.

- up to date version of ati flash go here - http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads...atiflash-3-99/

- Original and or backup copy of the bios image for the vga card

- copy atiflash and vbios image [#VbiosName#.rom] to the flash drive, enter the mobo bios and make PC bootable from USB device

- length of wire * long enough for the loop to be cut with wire cutters or snips [pref wire from an eighty pin ide cable or similar]

Example:


- connect pin 1 and pin 8 on the vga vbios chip [solder or loop the wire *make sure the wire is in good contact and that no exposed wire makes contact with other parts of the PCB]

- boot the system with wire attached

-Type at the dos prompt; atiflash -unlockrom 1 to unlock the gpu in adapter 1 [Note: 0 is the primary card PCIe slot one & 1 is the secondary PCIe slot two][*may be required]

- type at dos promt atiflash -ai 0 [1 if the card is inserted in PCIE x16 slot 1 on the mobo and booting from onboard vga/iGP or PCI vga card default to 0]

- *if card is identifyed by atiflash!* cut wire

- flash card with original and or backup of original vbios image; type at the dos promt atiflash -f -p 0 #VbiosName#.rom

I would like to ask where should i put my wire ? could anyone draw or show pic like on same gpu ?

 

[eidairaman1]

There should be a xfx rep here

 

[Law-II]

Hi

I would like to ask where should i put my wire ? could anyone draw or show pic like on same gpu ?

Should be Pm25LV010 or Pm25L XXXX on the surface of the 8pin chip is inscribed/printed with its datasheet reference number
*Example of Vbios Chip from HD 5970

[dot next to pin 1 with arrow pointing at it]

Note: If possible, upload high definition pictures of the XFX 7950's PCB front and back

Hi

These are the best pic's I could find but still need you to take a closer look at the physical card

sadly i have not a good phone ill try to find some hq pics on net

section I require You look at

Very important Confirm Number from this eight pin chip; is under fan-sink shroud on front of vga pcb [may require magnifying glass and very bright light to see well]

I sadly cant find any chip with that info on it .

What eight pin chip numbers are on card? [can look up datasheet to find out if they are Vbios chip]
