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 HELPEDIT: doing the front bios was extremely hard with a water block on it, but after some blutak and some superglue...job done LMAO ![]()

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.

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.

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. ![]() 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 ![]() ![]() but the bottleneck is gonna be
