You try resetting the brick card, but the power pins stay lit and the firmware clears without solving the problem.

I figured out how to make it fail by using the iGPU. It won’t show anything, but you can check the device manager for errors. The issue seems to be around error 43.

Firmware bricked after blue screen failure. GPU functions normally, supports graphics and gaming, but cannot be reprogrammed. Power connector remains active with lights illuminated.

It seems unlikely anything would get permanently damaged. Based on what I found online, the problem is more likely related to your power supply unit. If the power LEDs are turning on, it could be preventing the card from updating its firmware for safety reasons. Edit: If possible, try running the card on another computer or use a different PSU.

I handled everything identically on another PSU and motherboard, but the power pins remain lit and the firmware fails to load—it just disappears. It got stuck.

Great news, the GPU issue was resolved. I fixed the problem by replacing the firmware at the time it became corrupted. Since the company didn’t want to help, I used my PC bench test station to repair it. After disabling software installation and turning off the GPU, it worked perfectly again. I used the C command to erase the memory and successfully installed a new BIOS—now everything is functioning at 100%.
