I'm sure someone would have use for the remains...
speaking of damaged voodoo cards... I just cleaned the second banshee from the same scrap box that looked a lot nicer at first glance, no scratches... but then I noticed this:
The attachment elsavictory01.jpg is no longer available
😵
the left two pins seem to be 5V? which seem to be connected to the voltage regulator on the left...
one of the pads is still connected, but the left one is broken, is this the main card power? that would be concerning, those are the only 5V pins on the agp connector apparently.
the track on the right is also broken, that seems to be a 3.3V pin, but there are plenty more that seem to be connected.
there is also some soldermask missing above one of the pads on the back.
what happened to this card?
I still tested it and it is giving me a picture as well, doesn't seem to get hot as quickly as the first one... but that might be due to a different heatsink (clipped on instead of thermal adhesive).
