5870 Bad Flash help please

It may be a silly suggestion, but why don't you actually use normal 'blind' flash? Just look up the commands and do it the same way you flashed previously (DOS CD I suppose), just be careful typing them.

Also, as an alternative, you could plug in another card temporary so you can see what you're doing.

Hi there I think maybe the reason it went wrong is because I don't really get what I'm doing, I have been 2 days trying to get it to flash, everytime I tried to use the BIOS name it kept saying bad name or something like that, I then renamed it and put that in and it took it but when it told me to turn it off it never came back on.

I have downloaded another BIOS onto the USB stick and tried to blind flash it, I know what to press to get it to the curser so then I proceeded to try to flash and again nothing when I reboot but of course I don't know 100% that I am actually doing it right when I can't see it.

I do have another PCIe graphics card is that going to work whilst the 5870 is in as well? It is a ATI 1650.

I don't know how to prepare a CD to do it either.
