Need help with Sapphire HD 2400 XT 256MB bios! ***REWARD OFFERED***

jamiecruickshank · Apr 15, 2009, 01:37 PM

Hi all, I have been modding an Sapphire HD 2400 256MB XT bios and it seems to now not let my card show any image by some pink garbled lines. I can blind flash the card so if ANYONE has an original Bios lying around i will be forever greatfull. Here is a picture of my card:

Any Kind soul willing to send me their original bios would be very appreciated.
Kindest Regards
Jamie Cruickshank

I have tried around 20 different bios files and my original one got corrupt so i need one of this model.

I am willing to give you a free Rapidshare account or £5 via paypal if you can get me the Working bios.

Thanks In Advance

Check the clock speeds match but this should do it

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 01:49 PM

Why doesnt the file work?

Did you rename it to a *.rom first?

VuurVOS · Apr 15, 2009, 01:51 PM

Did you try to contact sapphire? Maybe they are will to send you the orginal bios? Could you post the part number of the bios ?

i have bricked my card so i can only see atrefacts on the screen and no writting i am using ATIFLASH in dos to flash the files and using the -log option and it is flashing the card however i cannot get the card working because i need the original Sapphire 2400 XT bios from one of there cards because it has things like built in audio. I just need someone with one of these cards to send me a dump so i can reuse the card. I was flasing it to an 2400 Pro to work with MAC but my original file has been corrupt.

I am not sure what that is do you mean the 94c1? thats i have at the moment.

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 01:56 PM

Download that bios I said, rename it from xxxx.bin to xxxx.rom and have another go.

All ATI cards from HD2000 series have built in audio, that bios should work fine.

someguyfromhell · Apr 15, 2009, 01:58 PM

I found a bios for a Sapphire 2400 Pro 256mb, here's the link:

http://www.mvktech.net/component/opt...rent,category/

Here's another one for the Pro:

http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/9...56.070517.html

The difference between the Pro and XT probably is just clock speeds.

jamiecruickshank · Apr 15, 2009, 02:02 PM

I have tried the PRO one thats the on that i was trying in the first place.
Thanks
Jamie Cruickshank

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 02:03 PM

Have you tried flashing with the one I posted renamed as a rom file?

They dont work as bins, at least not for nvflash

jamiecruickshank · Apr 15, 2009, 02:03 PM

Hi i have tried renaming to .rom however ATIFLASH doesnt seem to use it.
Regards

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 02:04 PM

You might have to force flash it as it is a different manufacturer.

jamiecruickshank · Apr 15, 2009, 02:07 PM

This is the log i get when i use 2400.bin it doesnt give me any output when i use 2400.rom.

This is correct, very corrupt, as in i cannot make out anything, the card was working perfectly before i put the 2400 Pro bios on it. this is why i am thinking i need a sapphire one.

Jamie Cruickshank

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 02:19 PM

Why did you try flashing it to a Pro?

And with recent cards, all the BIOSes are the same, all manufacturer's change is their code to identify them and clock speeds on factory overclocked versions.

I was flashing it with a Pro bios because i was doing an OSX86 project and osx reqognises the Pro more than the XT.

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 02:27 PM

I'm just editing that 2400 XT bios to match that of the sapphire specs, I'll upload in a sec.

Amazing thanks very much, i look forward to trying

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 02:34 PM

Give that a try, clock speeds and Manufacturer now match the specs of the Sapphire 2400XT.

I have included a rom and bin, in case one or other doesnt work.

If neither work, I cant think of anything else to try beyond an original bios. You should have really backed up your original first.

Is there any other flash program i could use?

alexp999 · Apr 15, 2009, 02:42 PM

You can use winflash, but only if you have another card to boot from, while still leaving the 2400XT installed

And I take it you are powering down your system, and the powering up again to test the new bios?

jamiecruickshank · Apr 15, 2009, 02:45 PM

yeah i am pulling out the power cable from the back. Ill mayby try winflash using VLC and see how i get on.
