Corrupted Theatrix Theater 550 pro bios

Kokkor Hekkus · 05-06-2006, 10:20 AM

During a unsuccesfull biosflash of my X1600 pro 256mb AGP videocard, the Atiflashtool flashed my Theatrix instead, which was quite a surprise to me.

It appeared that the theatrix and the X1600 switch places on device 0 upon each boot. So i made a backup of the X1600 during the flashprocedure, but flashed the Theatrix with the new bios for the X1600 instead.

Would a theatrix owner on this forum be so kind to make a bios imagefile of the theatrix theatre 550pro (PCI, PAL version) and make it available to me?

Thank you very much.

I didn't even know these cards have BIOS chips on them.... :|

Kokkor Hekkus · 05-06-2006, 05:05 PM

Neither did I!

I didn't know this bioschip could be flashed with an X1600pro bios (with another partnumber) without any error!!
And I did not know two ati products in the same machine would give that much trouble. Even with my old AIW 9800Pro (which i got more or less working on an ASUS A8V Deluxe) the Theatrix would fail to work. Only with a non ATI card and a non ASUS motherboard it worked right.

But i'm still hoping someone would be kind enough to supply me an biosimage for the Theatrix.

Hi,
Sorry but i gave up on the Theatrix. Bought a new one, ripped the bios and flashed it on the 'old' one. The card was fried, and it smelled like burned electronics too.

Same card? No answer from sapphire....

Jofka · 01-09-2008, 01:43 AM

which program for rip bios? have a friend with the same card...

Kokkor Hekkus · 03-09-2008, 08:29 AM

Hi, try Atiflash (DOS) or Winflash, downloadable from techpowerup.com
Read the instructions, I cannot be held responsible for any damage to your hardware.

BTW did not get any response from sapphire either.

Can you please PM me or send an email with the BIOS image for a 550 card (I don't think it matters which one).
I also have one with incorrectly updated bios.
I think the image is 512 bytes long, is it?

Thank you,
PDan
