Hi all. So I tried to test the voodoo with a friend's oscilloscope, but I don't really know how to use one.. I did manage to get it to show some signal next to the crystal and also in a few places (like R153,R154,R155). I also thought I spotted a clock signal around pin 186 on TMU 0, but it didn't …

I've found the main cause of TMU inactivity on that V2 Helios... It was a bad via which was supposed to connect FBI pin 166 with TMU0 pin 18... Hi SSTV2, Could you please tell me what VIA means in this context? Do you mean the traces, R51 or one of the resistor arrays? I have the exact same issue …

Thanks for that sdz! How do I know which pins are which though? is there a diagram or something?

Just an update on this, and hoping to get some more help.. I replaced resisitor 51 with the correct part - didnt make any difference to mojo's diagnostic results.. so I poked around a bit more and found 1 resistor on RA9 that was open circuit, so I replaced the array with a suitable replacement and …

Soldered the pins back using a microscope and then tested to make sure they were all attached. Looked good but when i plugged it back in and ran mojo it still had the exact same issues. My next step will be to try remove the heatsinks so i have better access to all the legs, ill reflow them all, …

I'd also love to know if anyone has had any success resolving this particular "0xdead" error on a voodoo2..

I will replace FBI 500-0009-01 systems with Voodoo Diamond 3D II and ICUVGA-GW803 cards for the test. Diamond 3D II has already soldered the new FBI 500-0009-01 I wrote about it in my first post, but I will exchange it and see what will happen ... There is one more thing that puzzles me, TMU0 and …

Thanks so much Sdz!

okay great, so something like this would work: https://www.mantech.co.za/productinfo.aspx?item=35M5286

Thanks so much @imperious and @sdz for your help, I'll try get hold of a replacement resistor to fix it. Quick (and potentially dumb) question: I dont know much about resistors - is a 10r resistor 10Ω or 10kΩ or what? I am seeing 10kΩ on various sites in this size, but 10Ω seems like a very low …

Hi all, I'm hoping some of the voodoo guru's on here can help me with diagnosing the problem(s) with this voodoo2 card I picked up recently. It has the fairly common symptom of being detected as a PCI multimedia device, but failing the Mojo test. Here are the results of the test: IMG_20230306_205900 …

wow! thanks so much for the replies everyone! I'll try out all of the suggestions, I'm sure one will get me sorted!

Hi all, I was hoping someone might be able to help me locate a packet driver (for use with mTCP in DOS) for this network card. I plugged it into my win98 machine and it identified it as a SMC Ethercard Elite16 Ultra 8216t ISA (say that 10 times and stay fashionable!), which seems to be consistent …

Hi all, I am new here and have been lurking on this site for a while. Its really great that such a site exists and is still serving Retro/vintage gaming enthusiasts such as myself! I have been trying to locate some of the S3d exclusive games to test on my Diamond Stealth 3d 3000, and while I have …
