  • Video bios problems with a GF3 Ti200- help !!!

    Somehow I've screwed the bios update and now the card wouldn't boot.
    I've tryed flashing the original bios while booting with a PCI card, but nvflash gives me an error that it couldn't open the PROM pins.
    It won't let me erase the bios either, same error for whatever I try to do.

    If anyone knows how to force it to flash the bios I would greatly apreciate it.

    More details:
    The card is a Leadtek WinFast Titanium 200 TDH

    I took Leadtek's wfflash (dos) utility and gave it a shot, doesn't have any type of ignore parameters (syntax) but it displayed the conflict:

    VGA BIOS Configuration

    VGA Flash ROM Type : Unknown. (0020/00FF)
    Vendor/Device ID : 10DE/0201
    (Sub) Vednor/Device ID: FFFF/FFFF
    Checksum & Date Code: 00FF0000. (64 KBytes) & 2277/2277/2277

    ROM Image file (saverom.rom) Configuration

    Vendor/Device ID : 10DE/0201
    (Sub) Vendor/Device ID : 107D/2861
    Checksum & Data Code: 004C8F00. (49 KBytes) & 01/03/02


    saverom.rom is the (backuped) original image

    nvflash gives the following error:

    NVIDIA Flash ROM utility
    Version 04.28
    Chip name= NV20 (201h), Vendor ID= 10DE, Device ID= 0201
    Opened saverom.rom
    Checking for supported EEPROM... ERROR: Could not enable the PROM pins.



    I've tryed with the
    -p (Don't pause if file & chip PCI VenID/DevID mismatch.)
    and
    -u (Don't pause if file & chip PCI subsystem ID mismatch.)
    parameters, no luck.
    Also tryed erasing it with -e.

    How can I erase the bios now or flash over the corrupted one ?

      Problem solved and in the process I became the lucky owner of a Compaq Matrox Millennium PCI 2mb
