I recently purchased a Voodoo 5 5500 card that has an issue where vertical lines appear on the display. The seller disclosed the issue, and I decided to take the risk to attempt a repair. This same issue was discussed here in June 2018 where a member reported seeing vertical lines with their Voodoo 5 5500 AGP card. The post can be viewed here:

Unfortunately, it looks like the proper solution and end result was never posted. Has anyone else ever experienced this issue with Voodoo 5 cards? Could it be a memory failure that requires a chip replacement? The whole board looks immaculate, and all of the capacitors appear to be in spec. It would be great to ultimately fix this and have a fully functional Voodoo 5.

I've attached some photos of the vertical lines that I'm experiencing.
