Bricked RX 570

[tvrsh]

I had a similar experience with my XFX 290 reference series. Hot air gun has brought back my XFX 290 to live. Covering other part using aluminum foil except for a card processor, heat it using Hot Air Gun with a distance between 50cm and temperature 300 degrees (Celcius). My hot air gun has two different temperature (300 and 600). (this is the last thing you can do). If your card still under warranty, just RMA it.

am playing around with this bios card using Hawaii bios editor causing this card dying.  

Did you ever figure out what caused this? Maybe in my case it had something to do with two of the same cards with different bioses being booted?

One thing I actually forgot to mention before was that the riser this card was connected to wasn't working (no lights flashing and the card wasn't detected in windows). Could a faulty riser somehow damage a GPU?

Looks like I'll be RMA'ing this card. First time I've ever had to RMA anything, and it's been quite a headache.

In my case, Am just playing around with my R9 bios then am doing something wrong I think.

It can be. You do the right way to mod your bios card. But may massive OC causing it or else there something wrong with the electricity, loose socket riser when mounted on PCIe that causes friction, also can break your card.

Looks like I'll be RMA'ing it.
Good choice.

So it looks like the card is powering up now. The LED light is on and the fans are spinning at full speed but the card is still not detected. Given this info, is there anything else I should try before RMA'ing?

I've tried connecting different risers to the card, connecting it directly into the PCI slot, change the PSU leads to the card, flipping the bios switch back and forth, but none of that has worked.

Good progress.

The LED light is on and the fans are spinning at full speed but the card is still not detected.

Fans spinning at 100% means the card is not detected and Power On Self Test on your rig didn't finish.
Try this few steps:

Resetting your CMOS
Remove your RAM and Plug it again.
Remove your card then plug it again (better put it directly to PCIe 16X socket)

Then tried to boot again using your card.

If you're certain it's bricked and next step is RMA, then try the paper clip trick. Scary, but worked on mine (flashed the wrong bios)...

Oh yeah, 1+8 method right. 
But may OP card still under warranty, better didn't do physical tweak.

This method used jumper method, connecting a foot IC chip number one and eight. Number one is the one under a small hole in the IC. And number eight is at the opposite end of the number one when we draw a slash of the number one.

one question, Is the jumper should be connected when powering up GPU? I have one dead RX480 reference card and will probably try this out

Would be good if you want to try this method, And please give us an update after.

Yeah. Requires about 6 hands, but you bridge those two poles with a paperclip or similar (I used a stiff wire), then boot. Obviously, you expect an explosion and smoke, but when you get the contact correct it boots up and you can then reflash the correct stock bios. Loads of tutorials online, but it did work for me...

I've tried this but it still isn't working.

My card is still under warranty, so I'd rather not try this.

tried this, totally not worked on my reference card, It seems its really dead, already sent to my supplier for warranties and guess what, they don't ask if its modded or not.. Lol

You are the lucky man.
