Hi!
First of all, sorry for my English I'm not a native speaker.
I have some problems with a Diamond Monster 3D Rev. E Voodoo 1 card.
The card is detected in Win98 without any issues, mojo.exe shows no problems with enabled debug logging.
Even 3DMark99 runs just fine with ~1800 points.
But I tried with 3 different LCD displays, 3 different cables with the same result: No signal
I'm testing without a pass-through cable with 2 monitors.
Tested in 3 different motherboards, same results.
Things I did so far:
- checked the pins of the 3dfx chips under a microscope looks ok
- measured the RGB,H-SYNC,V-SYNC output voltages coming from the VGA output connector. I used a cheap multimeter and a copper cable, the readings were ok to me.
RGB was between 0-0.5V, hsync,vsync was between 3-4.3V
- checked the components around the DAC for short, nothing
This is my first attempt to repair this kind card, so I really appreciate any advice!
Thanks in advance!
