I had stupidly flashed my ATI RADEON 9250 with a wrong bios file.
Now it doesnt boot up.
Is there any chance it could still be repaired?

I know its a waste of time cuz i bought a new GCard from asus 6200.
But its also a waste to just throw it away.

(and oh i found out that Fallout 3 and Call of duty 4 can be played with asus Nvidia 6200 128mb heheheh i never thought it could)

Not sure about this but....... If you have the right bios to fix the 9250 and an old PCI VGA video card or onboard video, AND you can get to your mobo's bios to set the boot video source to this new card (or onboard video), you may be able to boot up with the monitor hooked to the new video port and pull off the bios flash.

Better than tossing it in the trash........

nah tried it that way. my onboard doest work if an agp card is detected. ived tried the bios configuration to disable the 9250 but to no avail. ive already flash my shuttle xpc bios so i could manually tamper my GCards bios but its no use. maybe its time i shoul give up. save more time though heheheh. thanks any ways.

Yeah, a lot of mobos automaticly disable on board when an AGP is in there..... standard PCI video might work, but if you don't have an old PCI card that's something to buy......

I always keep one of those around myself, they come in handy sometimes.
