Hi all!
Somebody please help!!!!
Yesterday i have flashed my Ati hd5730m with AtiFlash on my Alienware M15x from windows because i am idiot and card was slightly oveclocked before flash with running Gigabyte Oc Guru tool in the background.
During flash process i receive message "flash failed" but laptop was still working fine after bad flash, until i reboot. So i have reboot laptop and after that Num and Caps keys begin blinking.
I have desolder serial flash VBIOS chip and connect chip on CH341 usb EEPROM programator, programator recognize chip and read flash with no problem and i realize that bios still exists on chip even after bad flash.
I have erased chip and program it with original hd5730m bios rom downloaded from internet and i have solder chip back to the card. After that, same thing...Caps and Num keys blinking again card is dead even after flash.
p.s.
I am using bios rom from internet but when comparing file with my original rom it was identical.
So i am asking you:
1. What else could go wrong with the card except i messed up bios with bad flash?
2. Is it possible that VBIOS chip is damaged during bad flash process?
3. What do you think about connecting in short pin 1(CE#) and 8(VCC) on pm25lv010 chip which is similar as mine to make a card as a standard vga adapter and flash VBIOS from DOS and if it is do i need second video adapter to this?
