Hello everyone, I have a faulty( that is how I bought it) Rx 6700xt , the pc starts with black screen no image at all and cannot enter bios( no bios splash screen), I can connect to the pc via remote desktop and I can see the card in device manager without reporting any issues, I cannot install AMD drivers or AMD bios with amdvbflash( but not sure if I am doing the correct procedure) any help is appreciated, thank you

So you do not know the story of this card.
As far as i can understand, your card does not have a working video out port?
Most likely you will need to take it to a repair shop

Should I try first to bake it in the oven?

No, baking is stupid, and it's a shame that it got popularized all those years ago.

If you want to try reflowing, get a heat gun. Or take it to a repair shop and have them do it if you aren't confident in your ability and/or can't afford to break it.

I do not have a heat gun, but in the past I have saved a few GPUs baking them

Hello.
Reflowing is not about a heat gun.
Is is more about reballing, which means all the solder balls should be eliminated and the tech guy put a new set of solder balls in place, heat them with a special paste,
and those balls will adhere on the same time to GPU and PCB.
Just heating with a heat gun is kinda lottery .

Baking heats up the entire card indiscriminately, causing PCB warping and exposes heat sensitive parts to heat. You also aren't fluxing in an oven, which isn't a good thing for any sort of soldering

Reballing is an option yes, but just reflowing can be done with flux + heat gun applied to existing solder balls

Thank you for your answers, I have managed to reflash the bios on it without any luck, the card behaves the same, so next step is the repair shop
