Hi! Im a new member here, this is my first post...
This is my problem, I bought a 9800pro BBa, Hynix 2.5 256mb, core r360, but somebody had made a bad modding to 9800xt and the card doesn't start, not even if I put a PCI, the 9800 card doesn't seem to be dead, but I can't be sure... I tried it in several Athlon mothers and a couple athlon 64 motherboards... any help?

have you attempted to flash it back to a 9800PRO to start with to see if it still alive? I understand you have a PCI card but that is for the purpose of using it to flash back the dead AGP card. Im not sure if thats what your trying to do

So you cant flash it or the flash is unsuccessful?

I can't flash because I don't get a Video Signal from any of the cards (pci nor agp).
the PCI card works fine, also the AGP slot in my mother works fine

well the steps to flashin and AGP card from a PCI involve a few things.
1 go into your BIOS and set it to initialize from the PCI card(make sure monitor is plugged into PCI of course)
2 run flash program and run the VGA check to see that the card is recognized(I have always used Gigabytes flash program V1.1 so the command for that is GFV11 -v, if using another program just type the name e.g. A:atiflash and it will give you the switches)
3 If seen, your good to reflash it

but i can't flash the AGP card because I dont get a video signal, without Video signal, PC's Dont work.
Iput my PCI card
Start the computer
Computer Starts.
I set init PCI first.
turn the PC off
I put my AGP card in the AGP slot,
I put my PCI card in the pCi slot
Turn on the computer... NEither of the video card works.

Odd issue indeed. I had that happen to me once(Bad flash) I am now trying to figure out how I worked around that.....Try booting into Windows once with the PCI card in to make sure the system/BIOS knows whats the "primary" I think thats how I got it to recognize the PCI card to I could run the flash program

well I will not say this is the "right" way to do it but I did a hotswap at one point and it worked. Basically I let the PC boot up on the PCI and as the Post screen went past I plugged in the AGP before I ran the Dos Boot disk .
NOT the safest way to do it but it did work

mmm, I don't think I'll dare...
but still...
I should Start the PC with a PCI card... the Ati Card should be plugged to the PSU.
then when the PC has finished booting in DOS mode (with a boot disk) I plug the AGP card and try to flash it.
thats it, right?

well truly you want both cards to show up in the DMI pool on seperate IRQs why yours isnt doing that Im not sure the Hotswap still may not work as if it doesnt show up in the DMI Pool its not gonna show up at all no matter what you do

Well if you cant get it to show up then it may just be dead you have tried it in a few different systems and you cant get it to post with it in there it just might be toasted

i'd say try the hot swap. i've tried it before on a old geforce4 many times and it's quite safe. maybe try it without connecting the psu first.
