Hi Folks,
as there are many wrong-flashed cards out there and I fixed mine with the solution by wizard I would say thank you wizard
it helped me to restore my card when all other options were gone.
Before was:
- wrong flashed card (Tahiti LE bios on a Pitcairn card)
- adapter not found by Atiflash, only 1 of the two cards found
- no method of forcing in any order helped out
What I have done:
- install second VGA adapter (PCIe, PCI or IGP)
- remove XFX Radeon HD7870 DD Black Edition card
- locate flash-chip on the back of the XFX Radeon HD7870 DD Black Edition (see picture)
- Google for the 3 lines on the chip and make sure its a flash reference
- solder a thin long enough wire from pin 1 (small dot in the edge) to pin 8 opposite side => this will disable chipselect and the adapter does not ask for the flashchip-content
- reinstall the card and boot to dos (i guess you have the usb method with your flashfiles)
- check if atiflash can detect the card => atiflash -i
- if atiflash has detected the card keept the adapter num
- cut the wire while on dos promt
- force flash the original bios => atiflash -f -p [adapter] [biosfile]
- reboot
- enjoy your card
Once again thanks to Wizard you saved me 180€ which is current market price for the card
If you have any question or need the original bios of the XFX Radeon HD7870 Black Edition just ask me.
Greetings Stanley
