I want to know the location of the Chip Bios Asus EAX1950 Pro that is where I saw Chip 8 legs are nowhere as many of them. Because it does more photos And without any bad when I plug into a PCIe slot, so I will try Connecting pins 1 and 8 will come together in the system.

Thank you

WTF? That is awesome. I don't think you can fix that. Well lets say its not worth fixing
 
what thermal paste is that??? brown sauce? Or were you trying to trend with BBQ sauce?
 
Looks like the main GPU is toast if that picture is real. That = a dead card = replace. :toast:
 
I need to chip bios EAX1950 Pro. Its location The chip is

Please help Me
 
Ok the cards done. Go get a 3850/4670
 
Hi

I need to chip bios EAX1950 Pro. Its location

Look for vbios chip: on the surface of the 8pin chip is inscribed/printed with its datasheet reference number Pm25LV010 [dot next to pin 1 with arrow pointing at it]
*Example:
Pm25LV010 small.jpg

upload high resolution pictures if require more assistance

Note: as other members of the TPU community have mentioned the VPU looks dead

I don't think that OP gets that they are trying to work with a dead card, if that is said card they're working with.

Hi Thank you for your Law-II

I have upload high resolution pictures To see if it is a chip bios. (front card pictures 1, back card pictures 2-5)

Hi surin26

I have sent a pm to a friend of mine as I have been unable to double check the chip reference number on any of the sites I use to locate datasheets, I assume due to the vga cards age.
I am fairly sure which chip it is but do not want to second guess the information; my friend or I will get back to you in due course and let you know either way.

"Fixing" the BIOS will not bring that card back. The GPU itself is toast, WELL Toasted...

None of the identifiable ones are the BIOS. It's possible that the top-right one in the last pic is the BIOS but the markings on it aren't searchable. That would make sense as none of the others are the BIOS and it's labelled as U2.
 
That is beyond fixing

So I did a little more research. U2 is definitely the BIOS chip. Every other card from that generation for ATI used that location and U2 to label the BIOS chip.

http://www.hw-museum.cz/ looks to be a great resource for high resolution pictures of hardware if anyone's interested.

Thank you "Maban" A good data

I wait "Law-II" course back
 
It SHOULD look like this. You see there are some components in that very burnt silicon that are gone...

What type of special silicon is going to replace these? They're gone....

Surin that core of that gpu is cracked. The electrical traces and transistors are not in tact anymore. Stop fooling yourself, Move on and Get a 3850 or 4670.
