I flash the wrong bios to my GIGABYTE RX 560 GAMING OC 4 GB, and now it won't let me even boot if the card is in.
So, after some googling, I see that I need to make some kind of jumper workaround to be able to reflash the original bios. My problem is that I can't find anywhere some picture or video that shows exactly what chip is and what pins do I need to do the work on.

I add a couple of pics I take, so any merciful soul can point out the correct chip and pins.

The white dot in the corner usually indicates the position of number 1 pin.

Sorry for the delay on the promised update, I have been really busy lately with work.
I want to say thank you, @Caring1 and @impero. I can't thank you guys enough. Your suggestions allow me to fix my card, and I have been using it for the pass couple of weeks without trouble.
