I had a problem flashing this card. It yielded error 0FL01 "Adapter not found" with atiflash in DOS so I flashed it in Windows with winflash successfully, it said you need to restart and all I had was black screen. I was able to start Windows with built-in graphics and 380 as a second card, the driver had a yellow exclamation mark but winflash could eventually flash it with backup BIOS but still nothing.
Well, actually I played with BIOS trying to copy memory straps, so I might have done something wrong with hex-editing and stuff but the weirdest thing that I already had the same experience with identical card. I was simply trying to flash a fresh BIOS from techpowerup.com. Same thing. Not recognized under DOS, winflash update success, restart = bricked card with black screen so that mobo doesn't even beep. Able to reflash it as a second card - still nothing. It was under warranty so it went back to the vendor eventually. This one is too, fortunately.
But the question is: has anyone had success flashing these cards with ANYTHING? Is it ever possible?
