Like hell you will. Blind flash the GPU ans stop listening to this guy.



These are the correct steps for a blind flash. I highly doubt you did anything shorting pins on the EEPROM. You can straight up hold power to ground on the EEPROM and it wont do anything to a corrupt BIOS.

you wanna read the thread ? again buddy
already confirmed that its bricked beyond all normal methods of recovery
dead or not you short the wrong set of pins you have a good chance of wreaking it is a last resort and its not something for someone with out a good bit of experience should attempt you can hold power to ground because its A GROUND you put power to one of the serial pins and good bye sally .... usually the reason for the stern tone was to make him STOP because he was playing with forces he didn't understand .... that usually ends badly

ya i read through everything that was posted and he exhausted every means of recovery without taking it to a shop, but of course he possibly could have damaged the card by shorting pins out too.

Most PC shops i know of dont have that capability to reflash a video card. Some have a means of reflashing a PC Bios but thats about it

He still has not tried blind flashing the card. So apparently he has not exhausted all normal methods of recovery. Maybe yet again you should let people who have tried this and had it succeed before running in screaming wolf.

I baught a PCI VGA card but unfortunately it was not showing any display

Have you considered that maybe your PCI slots are fried, coz after reading the thread I have noticed that it seems your PCIs don't work by this i men the PCI-E & PCI coz both seem to show black screen.

Have you tried your cards in another computer or motherboard? If not please do so

Mostly curious about the PCI VGA not displaying, some 8MB nonsense. About the 6870 its possible that its dead after shorting pins.

Here is what I did

Installed PCI VGA and when motherboard's bios came up I went in there and selected the option to use PCI VGA for primary display port. Then power down the PC and remove the monitor's cord from motherboard's video port and pluged it into PCI VGA and started the PC but nothing showed up.

What's this then? does not appear to be working

put the usb stick to boot up first

then reboot with the 6870 hooked up to the screen and for it to boot with the pci-e wait a few mins so it can load the usb

atiflash -f -p 0 xxx.rom xxx

then enter

wait like about 5mins then press the power button then press it it again see if it boots up with video

He needs to try this if it doesn't work the card is messed up

The command is to force the card to flash the bios that's how I flashed mine with the wrong bios a friend gave me XD

But I was able to blind flash it and its working again

Blind flash your not going to get any picture on the screen but the mb doesn't know that but it still boots on the usb and that's how you blind flash it

He could be really fancy and write an autoexe.bat to do those exact commands. Unluckily if memory serves me right it waits for user input at the end or you could run a -exit -shutdown command to prove it ran.

Idk anything about that lol

But got mine to work again I new it was bad cuz I switched to the 1 bios and it showed the bios splash screen then ask what was wrong with the bios and he told me it might of been a lighting bios XD

But I also saved the stock and blind flashed it and it worked

But if he hasn't tried this he need to...

Dommy is making it more difficult cuz you can tell the op doesn't know much :ohwell:

Well, all of you are saying that I burnt the GPU by shorting the pins. And I don't know whether shorting the pins have burnt it completely. If shorting the pins burnt it then why its fans are spinning and it is producing heat like normal and PC is booting up with it installed?

I want to know that, if it is burnt by shorting the pins then, would it still produce heat and would its fan still run?? I mean if it shorting pins made it completely dead then it should have stopped showing any sign of life.

dude. there are billions of transistors in that card. its not a light bulb. burning one part doesnt mean you burned the fan motor with it.


you can try and re-flash it, or you can bin it.

Auto Execute should help it all.

as long as you designate which slot the dead card is in.

Your GPU/bios can be fried and the fans will still spin because of power going to different power branches of the video card.

Honestly Id try the autoexec.bat method after creating the proper file and the proper directory path with command switches.


ATIFlash commands- there are tons that force/bypass certain checks so you could technically put any effin bios on the card.

course before putting ATIFlash on the USB drive you need to extract it from the zip file.

@eidairaman1

I am gonna try autoexec.bat method now. and report back asap.

ok before you do. Follow directions on how to make a bootable USB drive.

after that Put ATIFlash on the USB Drive

Put the uncompressed BIOS File on the drive (Closest one from here to what your video card is, cross reference the files to the cards on the HIS site)


copy command to install bios into autoexec.bat without replacing anything else in the autoexec.bat. include all force switches from this site including proper bios file name (my last post below). Including a restart command

after everything is done save it. remove the USB drive, Restart the machine and set the first boot device to be the USB drive.

ensure your primary video adapter is set for the PCI E card (Remove the effin cable from the IGP to the video card)

shut the machine down and plug the USB drive in,

once it powers up, after awhile it should restart on its own, (normally see the Optical drive lights flash) once it restarts pull the USB drive and hopefully on the dead video card you will finally get your POST/Bios Splash Screen.

Ok I made a bootable USB with Windows 98 boot files.

Copied Windows 98 boot files into USB except those which were already present in USB (like, COMMAND.COM, IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS)

Copied atiflash and Barts.rom (My GPU bios) to USB.

The link you have give me http://www.bjorn3d.com/2010/04/boot...ios-recovering-from-a-bad-flash/#.UJdmwVFcD1U. says to make a Autoexec.bat file, but whe I create a Autoexec.bat file using notepad and save it to USB, it says that Autoexec.bat file is alrady present in USB. should I replace that????

Now you say that " copy command to install bios into autoexec.bat without replacing anything else in the autoexec.bat. include all force switches from this site including proper bios file name (my last post below). Including a restart command "

Does it mean that, I should go to USB and right click on autoexec.bat then click EDIT and when a notepad opens up, should I write atiflash -f -p 0 Barts.rom and save it????

or should I use -fa or -fm or -fs or -fp instead alone " f ".

What is the command to restart the PC and should I add it to Autoexec.bat file???


I am really sorry for my ignorance but if it can recover I don't want to do anything myself. I will follow your instructions and would not do a single thing without a confirmation from you guys.

course before putting ATIFlash on the USB drive you need to extract it from the zip file.

Ok I made a bootable USB with Windows 98 boot files.

Copied Windows 98 boot files into USB except those which were already present in USB (like, COMMAND.COM, IO.SYS and MSDOS.SYS)

Copied atiflash and Barts.rom (My GPU bios) to USB.

The link you have give me http://www.bjorn3d.com/2010/04/boot...ios-recovering-from-a-bad-flash/#.UJdmwVFcD1U. says to make a Autoexec.bat file, but whe I create a Autoexec.bat file using notepad and save it to USB, it says that Autoexec.bat file is alrady present in USB. should I replace that????

Now you say that " copy command to install bios into autoexec.bat without replacing anything else in the autoexec.bat. include all force switches from this site including proper bios file name (my last post below). Including a restart command "

Does it mean that, I should go to USB and right click on autoexec.bat then click EDIT and when a notepad opens up, should I write atiflash -f -p 0 Barts.rom and save it????

or should I use -fa or -fm or -fs or -fp instead alone " f ".

What is the command to restart the PC and should I add it to Autoexec.bat file???


I am really sorry for my ignorance but if it can recover I don't want to do anything myself. I will follow your instructions and would not do a single thing without a confirmation from you guys.

use the existing autoexec.bat, right click on it and edit it using notepad, use all of the -f* (* being the other letters following -f) commands, -f -p 0. honestly id make the rom file the original file name from where you downloaded it from in autoexec.bat



@echo off
cls
@ECHO OFF
x:atiflash -fa -fm -fs -fp -f -p 0 biosname.rom
@ECHO OFF
REBOOT.COM

@echo off
mscdex /d:Micron /m:10 /l:R
set cddrive=R:
call mouse.bat


................................is already present in autoexec.bat file of USB. and there are four ways to edit and save it:

FIRST Method

@echo off
mscdex /d:Micron /m:10 /l:R
set cddrive=R:
call mouse.bat
C:atiflash -f -p 0 Barts.rom
C:atiflash -fa -p 0 Barts.rom
C:atiflash -fm -p 0 Barts.rom
C:atiflash -fs -p 0 Barts.rom
C:atiflash -fp -p 0 Barts.rom
@ECHO OFF
REBOOT.COM




SECOND Method


@echo off
mscdex /d:Micron /m:10 /l:R
set cddrive=R:
call mouse.bat
@echo off
cls
@ECHO OFF
C:atiflash -fa -fm -fs -fp -f -p 0 Barts.rom
@ECHO OFF
REBOOT.COM



THIRD method


@echo off
mscdex /d:Micron /m:10 /l:R

Which one should I use?? Please you write final lines I will copy them to Autoexec.bat file(and will remove the files which were already in Autoexec.bat) and save it.
