Graphic Cards Deceased ATI Radeon 4770?

[Oceanstar]

ATI Radeon 4770 dies suddenly.

Monitor shows "out of range" on powering up the machine. Steps taken:

• Visual inspection: no blown capacitors or any signs of burning/physical damage
• Unseated the card, took off heat-sink, cleaned it-applied fresh thermal paste on GPU and re-seated it
• Tried the card in different slots on the same MoBo
• Tried card in another machine: same result (out of range message).

Since there is no display whatsoever, there is nothing I can do.
Please don't reply with "buy a new card, bro" - I don't have the money.
Any suggestions on how I can positively confirm its a dead card/repair it? Flash the GPU BIOS perhaps?
