kingkong8 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 (edited) These are two very good thoughts. About the eeprom chips on the GPU board, no, there's only one, and no free solder joint for another one.I'll look into a programmer, hope I can a cheap one that works for my chip, or for a different, compatible IC which I can buy easily.You can't find cheap programmer for pm25ld010. Minato model 1882, beeprog2, dataman vpro etc. is compatible with the chip mentioned but it cost almost $1000 +!!look for ezp2010, there is lot selling in ebay just pick the cheapest one, it is compatible with pm25lv010, i don't know if it works on pm25ld010.have you tried jumper/bridged thing method??...http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=3968672&postcount=2 Edited June 25, 2011 by kingkong8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, cool. That's also one of the programmers which I found when I searched for "SPI programmer" yesterday... I'll look into the datasheets of the ICs, check what equipment I can use at the university and then I may get one to try it. have you tried jumper/bridged thing method??... Guru3D.com Forums - View Single Post - Gigabyte HD 6970 (GV-R697OC-2GD) BSOD ERROR: 0FL01 Yes, thank you, I'll look into it, found this link yesterday, see my previous post 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkong8 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 have you tried bridged method... what happened? does it post?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 No, I haven't tried it yet. Have to look up the atiflash commands first (in case I can bypass the GPU at POST), and I need time as well Maybe I can try it tomorrow, I like the idea of this little hack, but I'm still a bit sceptical, lol. Don't want to really fry the card. It's not easy to make sure that the wires don't accidentally short something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre right, the chip is so small and can't even put wires in bare hand.. it must need tools putting wires to avoid short circuit.. have you contact Kris? Is he reply with your concern?..

svl7 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Yes, I'm in contact with Kris, he told me he can reprogramm the chip, then I asked how much it would cost, but I haven't got an answer so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 That's not unusal, he's pretty busy I guess. I'm not in a big hurry since I should study instead of playing games If it was really urgent I would've bombed him with emails, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I am very sorry to hear of your situation SVL7. I hope you get it reprogrammed cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Thanks!! Yeah me too... but I somehow got interested in being able to reprogramm it myself... could be useful for future experiments, hahaha. So I'm looking at this option as well.

Founder Brian Posted June 26, 2011 Founder Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hopefully you can reprogram it. Will be checking back on this thread to see how it progresses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssimilatorX Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I'll ask my supply chain as i was not able to find it on ebay. btw: did you flash'd your card with the atiwinflash ?? or dos usb ati flash ?? winflash has killed my cards once... flashing was complete but no boot :S . When i read the eprom from the writer i've seen FF FF FF FF like everywhere. Winflash managed to erase the chip, but forgot put the new firmware in it...

svl7 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Great, thanks! I've only found the PM25LV010 on ebay, should theoretically work. I'll probably buy a cheap programmer which works on the PM25LV010 and see whether it can also programm the LD... if not I can still get a PM25LV010 and try it on the GPU.

svl7 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 What do you mean exactly with loosing double output feature? I thought vbios gets read from the eeprom and copied in the system at boot and that's it...?Anyway, I ordered a cheap programmer yesterday which is capable of flashing PM25LV010 ICs and some of these chips. If I'm lucky it works with a PM25LD010 as well... they're almost identical according to the datasheets, also the SPI Modes are the same... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Sweet SVL7 congrats on purchasing the programmer sounds really fascinating. Maybe you can post pics of the process involved... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssimilatorX Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I should work what programmer do you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 A cheap one, shipping from China afaik, "EZP2010" is the name if I remember correctly. Should at least work for the PM25LV010, and it's really cheap, especially because the Dollar is so cheap. Shipping will take a while though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) SVL7 you could get paid to fix badly flashed cards. Anyone would pay a little to save a card that was hundreds of dollars. you could be the official Tech Inferno video card reprogrammer.

svl7 Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yeah In case I'm successful I'll write a guide, and I'd definitely be willing to help anyone, but the programmer needs to be compatible of course... First of all I need to get it working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssimilatorX Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 yes chinase people can make marwel, but not on the shipping thought... LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 I just checked the tracking number for the package with the programmer... and it's headed to Australia, lol. I can only hope that the seller gave me the wrong number...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
