My card is still under warranty, so I'd rather not try this.

Good choice.

tried this, totally not worked on my reference card, It seems its really dead, already sent to my supplier for warranties and guess what, they don't ask if its modded or not.. Lol Grin

You are the lucky man.

If you're certain it's bricked and next step is RMA, then try the paper clip trick. Scary, but worked on mine (flashed the wrong bios)...

So it looks like the card is powering up now.

Good progress.

The LED light is on and the fans are spinning at full speed but the card is still not detected.

Fans spinning at 100% means the card is not detected and Power On Self Test on your rig didn't finish.
Try this few steps:

Resetting your CMOS
Remove your RAM and Plug it again.
Remove your card then plug it again (better put it directly to PCIe 16X socket)

Then tried to boot again using your card.

I've tried this but it still isn't working.

Oh yeah, 1+8 method right. Wink

But may OP card still under warranty, better didn't do physical tweak.

This method used jumper method, connecting a foot IC chip number one and eight. Number one is the one under a small hole in the IC. And number eight is at the opposite end of the number one when we draw a slash of the number one.

one question, Is the jumper should be connected when powering up GPU? I have one dead RX480 reference card and will probably try this out

Yeah. Requires about 6 hands, but you bridge those two poles with a paperclip or similar (I used a stiff wire), then boot. Obviously, you expect an explosion and smoke, but when you get the contact correct it boots up and you can then reflash the correct stock bios. Loads of tutorials online, but it did work for me...

Would be good if you want to try this method, And please give us an update after.

I've tried connecting different risers to the card, connecting it directly into the PCI slot, change the PSU leads to the card, flipping the bios switch back and forth, but none of that has worked.

Did you ever figure out what caused this?
In my case, Am just playing around with my R9 bios then am doing something wrong I think.

Maybe in my case it had something to do with two of the same cards with different bioses being booted?
It can be. You do the right way to mod your bios card. But may massive OC causing it or else there something wrong with the electricity, loose socket riser when mounted on PCIe that causes friction, also can break your card.

Looks like I'll be RMA'ing it.
Good choice.

I had a similar experience with my XFX 290 reference series. Hot air gun has brought back my XFX 290 to live. Covering other part using aluminum foil except for a card processor, heat it using Hot Air Gun with a distance between 50cm and temperature 300 degrees (Celcius). My hot air gun has two different temperature (300 and 600). (this is the last thing you can do). If your card still under warranty, just RMA it.

am playing around with this bios card using Hawaii bios editor causing this card dying. Angry

One thing I actually forgot to mention before was that the riser this card was connected to wasn't working (no lights flashing and the card wasn't detected in windows). Could a faulty riser somehow damage a GPU?

Looks like I'll be RMA'ing this card. First time I've ever had to RMA anything, and it's been quite a headache.

Did you modded your own bios or downloaded from the internet and flashed to your card ?

I didn't download a bios. I just used the one click timing patch on Polaris and then programmed the modded bios using atiwinflash.

Seems like not a Bricked issue for me but a dead card.

If its not totally detected by your motherboard bios and your OS then its time to RMA it.

This is what I'm thinking as well. I mean the whole card worked fine for a while even after flashing it. It's just when I changed the PSU and added another card (same model) that it died.

I've also gone through the motherboard BIOS on two different computers and haven't been able to see my GPU anywhere.

Normally if you mod the bios you void the warrenty (I think). However, if the un-modded bios also doesn't work either the card is just bad (or you OC'd it too much).

It was overclocked to 2250MHz, but it was running fine for a month OC'd, and it was running fine for a week with the modded bios and OC'd. Temperature was also below 60.

I wonder how would they find out that the BIOS was modded. 'Cause you know, the GPU is not showing anything Grin

.
Maybe someone can explain how the warranty providers find out about the BIOS mod?

I'd like to know this as well. As far as I can tell, the only thing working is the LED lights, and just barely.
