ATI 5850 Bad BIOS Flash (ATIflash no adapter found)

[unknown26man]

I was being a nob. I got the original firmware off my video card and then edited the bottom right in RBE (Radeon Bios Editor) and I changed the model from 5850 to 6990. Then I restarted the computer the video card worked but the ATI drivers dont work with it now. its just a standard VGA Adapter.

I flashed with ATIWinFlash 2.0.1.14 and since i restarted the computer it wont detect a ATI Card. And neither will the latest ATIFlash in dos. Ive tested it

In device manager its a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

(This is under hardware ID's)
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6F9D&SUBSYS_E1401043&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6F9D&SUBSYS_E1401043

I've tried using a different GPU for the primary. I would like your help to get this card working.

Lol it broke yesterday and by the afternoon I had a Nvidia GTX570 as a replacement. I would like to just get this working as a secondary and maybe move it to another pc.

Now I got a few methods

Maybe you could edit the ATI Driver files with these ID's or something and get the ATI Display driver at least working and that way i can get ATIWinflash to detect the card and allow itself to flash it.

I get No Adapter Found in ATIflash

atiflash -i (Result No Adapter Found)
atiflash -f -p 0 original.bin (Result No Adapter Found)
atiflash -f -p 1 original.bin (Result No Adapter Found)
atiflash -f -p 2 original.bin (Result No Adapter Found)
atiflash -f -pa original.bin (Result No Adapter Found)

Just let me know how i can just force flash the card cause i got the original.bin bios.

BTW I'm Using a ASUS P6T Deluxe

I Opened up Techpowerup GPU-Z Software
Selected Standard VGA Adapter at the bottom

Update......
I've got the sapphire version.

Which side is the eeprom, thermal paste side or the back that isnt covered by the heat sink?

Thanks Ill be uploading some pictures of my card soon in high reso and then you can highlight exactly what chip the eeprom is. Ill also lable what the eeprom says. And I dont know where to find the datasheet so ill just give you all the letters and numbers written ontop of the eeprom chip.

if all else fails read the pdf.
I assume you have tried to blind flash with no results
good luck

 

[erocker]

and I changed the model from 5850 to 6990.

Why would anyone with an understanding of bios flashing do this? I hope you can get things working with the .pdf Frogger gave you.

 

[unknown26man]

Could someone give a picture of a location where the flash chip is on the 5850

 

[unknown26man]

I need a picture showing where the flash ship I need to solder is

 

[Rapidfire48]

google it

 

[unknown26man]

Could someone make some sort of tutorial for this card

 

[Frogger]

here are links to 3 cards hi res :

on the asus card the eeprom with the green dot [lower left next to the gpu} is the chip you need to get the data sheet for. note the chips all have the same # on all cards MAKE sure your's is the same OR get the data sheet for your chip

Circle and send me an image of the correct chip to solder using the pictures i uploaded. And tell me which pins to solder together is it still pin 1 to 8. or is that different in the 5850 let me know thankyou

 

[Frogger]

your pictures are 404 image not found the chip shuold be in the same location as the othe cards use a good magnifer to read the #'s and post here will have a look for the data sheet
look here for your sheet

sorry about that
I reuploaded the images for you

[unknown26man]

Circle whatever chip you want me read off and ill give you the small imprinted writing for that or those chips

Let me know if one of the ones i circled is right from the pictures

 

[unknown26man]

Rather get the ATI 5850 running again beside my nvidia gtx 570.

 

[Frogger]

try this chip

rom chip should be

no way that is it

Might be it

Okay now we are making some progress can you give me links for the chips in datasheet. Also can you now help me recover the bios i got the original bios image. Help me get ATIflash to detect it.

 

[unknown26man]

Got any ideas. Do a diagram what i need to do
