My Ati will never work again ! If you have the 9200 AIW ...

I have put the card in other pcs and nothing happens , a blue bar is what i see always .

www.biline.ca/ati_macrovision.htm Never try that !

Bye , I hope that my advice be useful!

Today , i have found a solution......

It is probably problem of the Bios. The hacked drivers has modified some parts of the ati firmware......
What i need is a Ati 9200 AIW 128mb Bios file........

I can revive it but i need your help!!

IF you have the ATI 9200 AIW 128 mb you can help me , i will appreciate it!!
The only thing that you have to do , is insert a boot floppy disc and then "flashrom -s 0 Back.rom". If you are going to do it , you only need a file that i will send you. Please contact with me or reply here

It will save your Bios to a file , that will revive my Ati aiw. It can't damage your ati or whatever , you are only saving your bios.

Thanks !!!!

pfff..pretty daft move on your part if i say so.
why not just go to somewhere like gigabytes site,or sapphires site,and just download the bios from them
not too hard,noone else is involved,and only takes a few minutes.
and im sure that a bios flash would have been detected,or at least permitted by you.
but im almost positive that the drivers arent to blame.

The only site where i can download bios is at gigabyte site , and my card isn't listed.
Also my card is "Ati" provider. I have been searching a bios compatible during two days and i didn't found mine....

it's easy to do a bios backup , if you add the line "flashrom -s 0 Back.rom" in autoexe.bat you only have to :
-Turn on the computer
-Wait 5 seconds for the flash backup
-Reset and removed the disc

All done

the "ati" name doesnt mean anything really.
any bios should do it.
ive got a radeon 9700non pro,built by sapphire,and use the gigabyte 9700 pro bios on it.
turned out sapphire in the early stages only made one card,with a locked bios,so it saved me over £100 at the time,and it still works today.
still wouldnt trust anyones drivers other than omega,some of the others are just ripoffs of his that work like shit.
ill see if i can get a aiw bios for you tonite.

EDIT:nope,no luck on the bios front,you might have to suck it up and put it down to experience,maybe getting a cheap new card.

Your best bet to find a bios is probably by asking folks here:
