Hi,

In a local auction, I've got 2 Voodoo 2 for cheap, both supposedly not working.
The first looks visually great and is confirmed not working.
The second looks rusty and not working as well but after visually fixing the bent pins and broken solder joints from the 3 main ICs, it came back to life.

So I need your help on that first one.
I did go through the 3 main chips and reflowed all the pins but it hasn't fix the problem, at least the main one.

In Mojo, I am getting this output:
download/file.php?mode=view&id=223530

I haven't found any broken traces so, I guess, remaining is to check every component.
In case someone can give a hint to narrow down the search, that would be great.

Thanks!

If you have an oscilloscope, try measuring the clocks provided by the RAMDAC (preferably after the buffer next to it).
Also, posting some high res photos of the card could be useful.
