wow, that does work! that put some pressure when flashing firmware, it went smoothly, now I just need to find a repair shop to help me reflow that chip, Thanks!Look at the back of the card and find U17. It is the largest chip on that side. Inspect for any damage. You may need to reflow solder with hot air rework station. I had a card that boot fine but would not take firmware update unless I applied pressure to this chip.
good suggestion, but I still want to fix it, so I can resell it after the new one shipped.I'd get a new one since they're cheap.
Unless you're getting another model, who's to say the new one won't fail in the same way in the future?good suggestion, but I still want to fix it, so I can resell it after the new one shipped.
I'll say it is repaired, I won't sell it as a "well functioning card"Then sell it to someone else?
