Re: sapphire rx480 nitro+ not detected

Re: sapphire rx480 nitro+ not detected

So a week or so ago I ordered a used sapphire nitro+ rx480 4gb with epilda memory.  It worked out of the box and I had it in a temp machine running fine and tested out a couple of different ROMS.  They all worked fine, no issue.  I took the card out a couple days ago in preparation for a second rig build and low and behold it is not detected, in windows nor in bios.  I tested a few different risers, plug it directly into the board and after that did not work, I took it back to the temp computer and nothing.  I get the sapphire light on it, no fan action and nothing in bios.  I know reading the threads that if you flash the bios it voids the warranty and I have anoraks overclocked bios on it so I dont think I can send it back to the manufacturer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if its a your f***ed, that way I know to stick to my nvidia rigs.

Edit: I tried the vswitch next to the led switch following this thread, still not working.  http://www.overclock.net/t/1353325/tutorial-atiwinflash-how-to-flash-the-bios-of-your-ati-cards  I found a thread here https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/9443/bricked-your-rx-480-due-to-bad-flash about doing the 1+8 but I would need to take the chassis off and since I bought it from amazon warehouse deals, I think I would much rather risk trying to send it back compared to taking parts off and then try to send it back

Any ideas?  I know there is a heavy user group of the rx480’s here, no one else has ever had this issue?

(Why?)
