Bad GTX 465 BIOS Flash?

[MrGeekFreak]

Now, just to get it out there, I have done a bunch of BIOS flashes before, but this is the only one that has EVER gone wrong on me.

Using NVFlash, I flashed a new BIOS onto my GTX 465 card, like I have done many times in the past. But when I went to reboot my computer, I got a black screen. So, as I have done before, I grabbed an extra 9600GSO laying around to re-flash the 465. But when I got to NVFlash and used the "--list" command, it only came up with the 9600.

This is a new scenario to me, and I'm really lost.

I looked up it, and read about the whole "STRAP_SUB_VENDOR" stuff, but I'm clueless as to where the ROM chip is on these guys.

If anyone could help, PLEASE do. This is a bit of a scary situation.

top card 465 bottom 9600? or top 9600 bottom 465?

top card 465 bottom 9600? or top 9600 bottom 465?

Top card is the 465, bottom is the 9600.

Thank you for replying!
But it turns out the STRAP_SUB_VENDOR mode worked! After shorting the two pins on the ROM, I was able to see the card in NVFlash again.
I mean, I DID have to Google every IC chip to see which one it was, but after finding the right one, and the pinout, everything went great!
