Hi!
This is my very first time posting here at TPU.
Here's my problem, i recently acquired this used ATI Radeon 4870 from my cousin where he then said that the card was incorrectly flashed and would not post after.
I've tried flashing it thru DOS with ATIFlash using the onboard graphics. After entering the command, ATIFlash replied that "adapter not found".
Even after inserting another older pci-e vcard into the 1st pci-e slot and putting the bricked 4870 in the second slot, i'm still getting the "adapter not found" error.
What i would like to know is the location of the Bios Chip for the 4870 so that i can short it for ATIFlash to detect it and then flash it using the original Bios.
Thank you in advance.
