Request: VTX 7950 v2 BIOS

Hi everyone, I was silly and flashed my 7950 to 7970 without backing up my bios (yes I know, I suck ). The only problem was that I couldn't use the HDMI port, which wasn't a problem as I didn't need it at the time, but now I [want to] run with my TV plugged in to that.

I have flashed it back to the VTX 7950 v3 bios from on here, which works great, but still the same problem as before. If anyone has the VTX 7950 v2 and could upload the bios for it, that would be awesome! It's the one with the 8pin + 6pin PCI-E connectors.

Have you tried the Bioses in TPUs database:

is there a switch at the bracket where the HMDI output is or on the backside of the card?

Thank you for the thought anyway!

Yay! I found it, next to the crossfire tabs.

Update: I celebrated too soon . It seems the "1" setting doesn't have a BIOS flashed or something. It won't boot in the "1" position, only the "2" position (the one it started in, strangely).
Update 2: I've attached the BIOS dump from the "1" position, in case anyone can figure out what it is!

Thank you everyone . If anyone else has problems and sees this thread:

This seems to be a strange card I got though... It was just a regular 7950 -- not the X-Edition -- but it came with the X-Edition style 2-fan cooler, and it also seems to have the 7970 PCB since it has a 8pin and a 6pin PCI-E power connector.
