Title: Can anybody repair a Voodoo 5 card?
Post by: JohnFante on December 28, 2013, 12:53:19 PM
I recently did a rebuild of my system and took out my Voodoo 5 5500. When I inserted it again (after I had been running a Radeon 9250 for a while to check out the new 2.19 driver - nothing interesting there thou) the picture had become fuzzy.

You can see the error here:

I had some of the same issues before when I was running 4.1 Classic. In 3.9 the picture was clear. Now the issues is both in 3.9 and 4.1.

I have checked the components on the Voodoo and it seems like there is a loose component. This one:

Besides the fuzzy picture the card works fine. Warp3D works fine etc.

You can see the whole card here:

I will post this in other forums also to see if I get lucky.
