or if he can find a dead 8500, replace the BIOS chip on his card.. LOL it's a lot of work, but it might work.

hell I'd try it!
 
Flash it back.

You did save your original BIOS?

Then if it has problems, RMA it . . . . ATI won't accept it with another BIOS (AFAIK).

This guide is very comprehensive and may help you:

Flashing from a CDROM shouldn't be a problem (as long as the flash was "accepted") . . . i believe you can also flash from your HD besides the usual floppy. 😉
