Hey, I had a rx 5700 mech oc, and I flashed it to the 5700 xt because everyone said it worked for them, and it worked for me. Then i tried to flash back to the original bios a few days later, and now there’s no signal to my monitor and none of my peripherals are lighting up. Please help I am so scared and idk what to do.

Short these 2 pins somehow (paper clip, small cable, solder)
Then put the heatsink on and plug it back in the computer.
It might work and you could flash it back.
If you can't do it, you can take it to a technician or order CH341A flash programmer kit.

you need to use both ends of the paper clip to short those terminals so unfold that paper clip all the way bend it in half and touch the two pins with either ends of the paper clip

Just out of curiosity OP but, why did you flash the VBIOS from the stock 5700 to a 5700XT, only to reflash BACK to the stock 5700 VBIOS. Were you having some sort of issue(s) using the XT VBIOS that forced you to revert to the stock 5700 VBIOS? 
Some of my games were running like 100+ fps but i would get stuttering and I wanted to see if it was the bios.Just out of curiosity OP but, why did you flash the VBIOS from the stock 5700 to a 5700XT, only to reflash BACK to the stock 5700 VBIOS.
