"dead" voodoo 5500 agp?

[skinnie]

Hi ppl,some weeks ago I bought a voodoo 5500 agp,1.18bios all fine..no oc..all stock..today I started up the pc and see white stripes on the monitor :S :S
what can I do?

[benna]

maybe one vsa100 or some ram chips are damaged

[skinnie]

wtf...I didn't touch in the chips ..nothing..is it possible to be the psu?

[skinnie]

guess it is something related to the voodoo really..how can I change to only one vsa if I almost can't see nothing in windows?if it is the mem..can I get a sdram with 64mb with 8chips and solder there (not me...a specialized guy) and one of u expert guys in bios make a bios for me?tryed reflashing the bios too and nothing

[benna]

in 2d only the 1st vsa100 is used, so you can't do anything
p.s. have you plugged the molex in the voodoo5?

[Nightbird]

Can you try your V5 on an other machine ?

[skinnie]

yes I pluged the molex..on without it the board beeps..no I don't have other machine to try..but it worked well..and played some ut..tried dif psus..clean the thing..reflashed bios..nothing..I'll get a voodoo 3000 sooner

It is the memory. If it is of any help, it is probably a pin that came loose from the pcb. If you want to check, you have to know that in 2d only one vsa is working. That means that you only have to check 4 of the memory modules. These are the ones that are closer to the backplate (the vga output), two on the front, two on the back.

no looser pin well now I have a Voodoo 3000 but the 5500 was so awesome..

[Nightbird]

Any capacitor is missing or broken ?

[skinnie]

nope

[Nightbird]

I'm out of idea

[bloodworm]

try it in another system before you do anything.  could be power problems from either the power supply OR the motherboards 3.3V regs.

[skinnie]

don't have any other system with agp2x :/ but it is stopped here..now I am with a v3 3000

[skinnie]

forgot that I had my girlfriends system here..an agp 4x system..tried there..and the same :S
