Bricked Msi Armor RX 570 4GB Elpida

DarkEstra · Feb 9, 2018

Hello
i've bricked the armor rx 570
during doing bios mod
so first of all im using a rx580 on my system
i pulled it out to install the rx570
and after i've did installed the rx570
i forget to do the "atikmdag-patcher" Thingy
so after i did the bios mod using " Atiflash " it shows me that the process was failed
i did tried to restore the original bios mod
but it also failed
after i restarted my system , it was unable to post from the same GPU and gives five long beeps
so i switched to IGFX and i can see the GPU in device manager as Microsoft adapter
and atiflash was unable to read rom
tried to reflash bios using atiflash DOS version
but it keeps on saying "Adapter not found"
even after trying with all of the PCI-E Numbers
so now the card is bricked , and i am afraid of the manual soldering on bios cuz it's kinda risky
is there any other way to fix this stinky armor card ?
thank u in advanced

thank u all

actually what i did to unbrick the card is the same thing i did the first time
installing the gpu and use igfx as video output
and then use ati patcher to fix driver
then restart and re-program the mod via atiflash
i did the same steps in the same time that the cards did bricked in but didn't worked that time
so i after two days
it worked 100% without any problem
thank u all again

No solder needed
Attach thin wire to pin 1 and pin 8 to take the voltage low; [old IDE cable wire is ideal]

example below:

Loop wire to Vbios chip Leg 1 & 8

Cheap cards? So what do you buy then? Because I will let you know my card is a vapor X which is a precursor to the Nitro/Nitro plus and they certainly are not cheap
