Hi everyone, I need help identifying pins 1 and 8 of my graphics card and it is a RADEON RX 470 4G GDDR5 PCI-E. I tried using the post example but it did not work. Thanks!!!
At first, You need to check your bios chip pinout. For example PM25lq020 it is 1 and 5 pins based to picture...
@CALIGVLA Thanks - this thread saved my butt! I almost always flash one card at a time but got lazy and brick. Followed your instructions and I'm back in business.
An Rx 470 inserted in PCI-E x16 slot giving me a black screen if PEG is set in BIOS. If I select IPG, then windows boots and I can see Rx 470 in device manager. I've tried to atiflash back to stock. If then change it back to PEG windows don't boot. It's the same with riser (PCI set to GEN1).
I have 5 working cards on my rig at the moment, if I connect the last Rx 470 windows don't boot. Could I connect the last Rx 470 and use 8 + 1 pin on boot while the other cards are connected with risers ? I don't want to move or disconnect riser or change settings in bios for now.....I've been struggling getting all to work so don't want to mess things up again.

I don't know if my cards is bricked ?
Install it in a separate PC and see if it boots up and shows the screen properly... Just a thought..
I'm also stuck here. I removed the clip and it still gives the can't read from error. I have a xfx radeon 470 4gb Samsung card.
Hi there,
i had same issue as you guys, and trick was that i removed only one side of paper clip Be sure to remove both sides od paperclip, then run atiflash and you should be able to flash it with new bios.
I literally just made this account to verify that this works. I am new to mining and thought I bricked my RX 470 4 GB yesterday and was freaking out. I tried this (I was very weary at first, I thought I was going to get electrocuted or start a fire and die), and it worked. Have your stock rom ready to go.
I used masking tape and bent a paper clip in order to touch the two metal parts on the chip together.
I have a H81 BTC motherboard and booted into BIOS (press F2). I booted from the on-board graphics (Under CHIPSET or something like that) with the bricked GPU attached, flashed the stock rom successfully (thank God), rebooted into BIOS, switched over to boot from PCI and voila!
Seriously I was freaking the f**k out and looking for resources for many hours. If you have any questions feel free to shoot it over.
I need help, try to make BIOS MOD to my RX 480 8GB ASUS STRIX, and after trying several Bios MOD to lower the temperature, I stop working. He does not recognize it on any motherboard and I'm already worried. It's new bought by Amazon.com, only use it for about 20 days
If you have "failed to read ROM" error when trying to flash your GPU BIOS the solution may be as follows. Try to start a miner (to create some load on GPU) and check if you can flash you GPU while it is mining. At least one guy reported it worked and the error had gone in this thread:
The reason you cant flash your GPU BIOS (failed to read ROM error) can be in the following. If you have more than one GPU card installed (or even only one) - the ones not used at the moment may go into a power save state. This is called ULPS - ultra low power state and can be disabled in the Windows registry (probably some utilities can do it as well). Just check Google for disabling ULPS. Once you make appropriate changes in the Windows registry - reboot your PC and try to flash GPU BIOS again.
Hello guys, sadly i bricked my rx 580 (specific model is Gigabyte rx 580 gaming 8g), i wanted to confirm that the bios chip is the one that has a 3 painted on it in this picture: Would the 1 and 8 pin be the same as the OP? ,
Thank you guy! You saved my butt. I confirm it worked with my Sapphire RX 550 Pulse 2GB. I just want to notice I had to remove the electrical bridge 1-8 after the postscreen and before Windows boot because I could flash the backup rom successfully.
Hey! Have a RX570 4 GB (MSI OC version) here from a friend who started mining last year. He bricked the gpu due to wrong bios flash. See picture bellow (RX570 is gpu 0), i flashed with atiflash in cmd (actually several ROMs) the original ROM which i got by serialnumber from MSI. But after installing the driver (also tested several versions on win7 64bit and win10 64bit) windows won't boot with the pluged RX570. I have to remove it and let the other card (rx 560) run alone to get back into windows. ->To go into windows with the RX570 i have to uninstall the driver... Do i need to run atikmdag even if the bios is stock from MSI?
RX580 cards. I unbricked my Sapphire Pulse RX580 8GB card by shorting the 2 pins in this image. Before they where shorted (stripped a piece of stranded wire and twisted it around PIn 1 and Pin 8) the card would not show up in windows at all. After i shorted i was able to use ATIWinFlash to flash the original BIOS.
Then i removed the short. and rebooted. The card was acting funny (likely because i kept the short in place while flashing it) and ATIWinFlash did not show the current BIOS, so i flashed it again, rebooted and everything was back to normal.
I've tryed this solution, and windows run fine but atiflash don't found the graphic adapter. I've one MSI RX470 Gaming X, and mount one Winbond w25x40cl bios chip. Anyone can help me?
Soooooo. I have a Gigabyte Radeon RX580 8gb. Where is the 1 and 8 pin because it’s not the same as the 470. Is it possible to use the atiwinflash shortcut on the desktop to access the card?

Any way around that?
Paperclip must be removed.
THX man! send me you ethereum wallet please!
Pins are 1 and 5.
It worked perfectly on a Sapphire Rx 480 4gb (Samsung)
If I select IPG, then windows boots and I can see Rx 470 in device manager. I've tried to atiflash back to stock. If then change it back to PEG windows don't boot. It's the same with riser (PCI set to GEN1).
I have 5 working cards on my rig at the moment, if I connect the last Rx 470 windows don't boot.
Could I connect the last Rx 470 and use 8 + 1 pin on boot while the other cards are connected with risers ? I don't want to move or disconnect riser or change settings in bios for now.....I've been struggling getting all to work so don't want to mess things up again.

Instead of using a paperclip I used a pair of forceps.
I used masking tape and bent a paper clip in order to touch the two metal parts on the chip together.

It's a really big and detail guide, check it out. I'm sure it would help if you go through it.
