Hi guys,
I have a Gainward GTX580 Phantom that doesn't work, despite being in excellent physical condition. There seems to be voltage everywhere on the card and the GPU does appear to heat up.
But the card is not detected at all, nvflash doesn't see anything, nor does atiflash, or any other DOS software that could detect a video card.
I don't have much experience in repairing graphics card aside from replacing capacitors, SMD components and reflows, but since it wont show up anywhere on several computers I put it on, I was thinking maybe the EEPROM chip would be bad ? I've tried with several other video cards and even if they wont POST, they at least show up in the list of cards.
Could I replace it with a random EEPROM chip of the same capacity and pinout, and then flash it with the proper BIOS ?
Is there anyway to test the circuit that goes to the EEPROM ?
Thanks !
EDIT : sorry wrong location, could someone move the thread in the right category ? Thanks !
