As a surprise to absolutely nobody, I got a dead Radeon 9800 Pro. The seller apparently played the "untested" game but it was cheap, well so it is. I doubt it can be saved easily but I'm still asking.
From what I can tell and checked:
- The cooler made good contact with the die so it should not have consumed itself, and I re-pasted it
- Plugging in the card in 2 different motherboards produces the same result: a black screen without any display signal initialisation
- The fan on the card runs
- Running amdflash/atiflash 4.68 DOS ( from https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/ ) with the -i option doesn't fin the card on the system
- Starting the system with a Matrox Mystique I can see the Matrox card in the PCI device listing (vendor 102B), but I don't remember if I'm also supposed to see AGP cards there...
So any advice is welcome 😀
Searching a Nexgen Nx586 with FPU, PM me if you have one. I have some Athlon MP systems and cookies.
