Voodoo 3 not working

[swift240]

Hi all I use my Amiga 1200 towered, with Mediator SX.

How ever, I took it all apart to give it a good clean as it was in a bit of a mess.

When I put it all back together again there is no graphics what so ever.
So I took out my HD and used an 4.6gig to use that as a test HD.

I installed WB3.0 then OS3.9 over that, all went well so no problems there, I use a Commodore 1701 using the video out on my Amiga to get a display to start off with.
I followed the Instructions to the letter, to find the Voodoo 3 card isnt seen by the system.

I took the Voodoo 3 out and put it into a PC and there is graphics, so I cant see how it is the Voodoo 3 PCI card?

So is it the Mediator I am wandering, So I put the Voodoo 3 into the second slot to see but same result its not seen.
Now when I say its not seen when I go to Picasso 96 mode in  Prefs and I go to "Attach setting to" then under that is No board then under that Board 0: Voodoo, I have tried, every setting possible, all I get from the PC monitor is the message screen resolution to low change monitor settings.

I am worried now because the Voodoo 3 works in a PC,but not in the Amiga, the sound card works on the Mediator and so does the Ethernet PCI card.
I have tried in a shell pciinfo and it does show up there.

Any help any one?

TIA,

Mike.

Yes I know what you mean, the Mediator in ym PowerTower has been more trouble to me than when my Amiga was desktop.
I am seriously thinking of going back to desktop, at least that way I never had any trouble what so ever it was rock solid.

So if I do then its Amiga 1200 desktop Apollo Accelerator 030/40 with 32meg fastram, 4 x IDE'99 a CD burner and a DVD rom and a 40 gig HD, and a VGA adapter.
When I used to have it like that it was perfect no problems what so ever.
I do mostly now think that the Mediator was a bad move for what it does.

So what did I gain?

A Fast ethernet
A sound card
A Voodoo card

What did I use before Mediator
A PCMCIA Internet card
Amiga sound good enough for me
VGA adapter and a Philips CM8833-II monitor for the 15Khz stuff

So was it worth the money to get where I am now? no I dont think so, so to hell with it its back to desktop, at least that way I still get full use of it with no problems.

Not all may agree with any of that, but its a fact the Mediator has been more problems to me than any think before.
Also as you said if I moved my tower case around the room, I would be lucky to get it running without any sort of problem hitting me.
Yes my Mediator was fixed in the PowerTower properly along with the 1200 mobo, I gota say the Mediator is very sensitive.

I got myself another Voodoo 3 from eBay and it works ok now.
