Dead Blizzard 1260?

i do belive the voltage should be somewhere between 3.309v and 3.325v...

3.29v seems a little low to me which points towards the processor..... this does not mean the processor is faulty.

what you should first check is your PSU what does 5v line read.

EDIT: just seen your reading 4.98v thats ok.

If I get 4,98v between the 1st and the 3rd, doesn't it mean it has the correct voltage given by the PSU?

thats excellent.

the fault is somewhere else..3.2v is low it should be reading at the very min 3.307-9 or in the 3.3v range.

it hard to say what the fault could be from here im going to try something here on my system.

the faullt is limited in places but it can be anywhere and repairs are limited due to parts.

1. the regulator unlikly but you never know as output is not correct and it will not boot if voltage is too low which yours is.

2. processor is faulty i don`t think any other logics chips use 3.3v on that board.


what you can try before sending it out for repairs is clean the edge connector with contact cleaner this is the only advise i can give. do not mess around with the card if you don`t know what you are doing as some users make the card worse than it already is and may end up costing you more in repairs.

The voltage should be 3.3 volts, not 3.3something. 3.29 is within .01 volts, which is perfectly acceptable.

take away the last to digits iv posted and it reads 3.3v.   input voltage is fine 4.98.

yes it should still boot with 3.29v but it`s *not* correct. get another user here with the same card to check the voltage or for a matter of fact anyone who have the time check the regulator output lets see how many return here with 3.2v.

here on my system on a overclocked system if it reads 4.92 it`s starts to lock-up/crash.

when the voltage is 4.94 and above it works perfect,this is why my system is very stable 5.04v...voltage is taken as far away from the PSU point which happens to be the Bvision..( voltage reading taken here ).

3.29 and 3.3v may not make a difference on some card but *may* effect others.

Hello:
Sorry to tell, but I measured again and the current is exactly 3,30v (sometimes shows 3,29, but Ï think it depends on the pressure I make with the voltmeter). The voltage in the other is 4,99v.
I measured the temperature of the Motorola mask and it read 34,1ºC (93,38º fahrenheit) in 4 minutes. Does anybody know if that's normal?

try pulling the card out a little when it is connected to the A1200 motherboard connector do this with the computer off,then turn on.
