hey guys. i have a few video cards (9600xt's and 9700 pro's) that dont display picture. these are defectives that i recieved in shipments of cards over time that i used to sell. i'd send them back but i only have a couple, so its not worth it.
my questions are: could it be a problem with the bios that could be solved by reflashing it? i theorize that i can reconnect to the onboard video on my pc, and flash the one in the agp slot. can this actually be done?
the hardware appears to be ok, nothing broken or missing and the fans turn on, but there's no picture. actually, my monitor appears to not even recieve signal because it never clicks on. there is no activity similar to a disconnection from the pc. i know it isnt a compatibility issue because ive tested the same cards without a problem. these are "powered by ati" cards and im using xp. thanks!
