Hi all I'm new here

I have a problem, i have a Sapphire HD6870 1GB here, it came to me with bad bios flash.

Now, i have back flash with ALL sapphire bios HD6870 in the techpower database...
Code:
atiflash -i
Code:
atiflash -f -p 1 name_bios.rom
the process ends successfully, i reboot with HD6870 as primary card and...black screen!!!

how i can fix this?? I tried to short-circuit pin 3-8 in the chipset of bios (Pm25LV010) and flash new bios...but the result is the same... where I'm wrong??

vga detail--> PN: 288-1E177-100SA - SKU: 11179-00

Card maybe done for. I would contact sapphire and see if you can get an original bios.
