Well with an ancient VGA card in as ISA slot it booted windows in safe mode but still would hang during normal Win98 startup. I found some information on the SGS Thompson version of the the NV1 (The STG2000) which has pinouts of the chip as below NV1 chip outputs.jpg NV1 chip outputB.jpg I tested …

There was only two - for some reason it loaded the S3 card driver when it loaded the Edge 3D driver as well. I ended up deleting that S3 card/driver but it made no difference. I am wondering if Win98 is picking up the bios from the Edge 3D but there is something wrong with the NV1 hence no video …

OK some good and some bad with the card today. U18 l5 was 5V and leg 4 3.6v from memory. I put the card into a Pentium 233MMx running win98 alongside another video card - Windows detected the Edge 3D (well, it detected the presence of a PCI video card) and I was eventually able to load a driver, …

Hi mate - the bodge hardware soldered to R320 is factory issue! We have removed the bios chip, dumped it and checked it with no issue. Tried installing a different BIOS (for a 2000 series card, as couldn't find a 3000 on line) but that did not change anything. PTC is testing OK and the fact the …

Further update - after a bit of fiddling around with the BIOS chip to no avail it was noticed that these two chips LF353 feel different - one was warming up and the other was cold. Without a schematic it’s difficult to know what these do etc. Filename IMG_2053.jpeg File size 190.24 KiB Views 623 …

Slight update - tried replacing the missing/blown capacitor with a 100nF and still nothing. When plugged into PCI it has power all over the board but nothing coming out. The yellow tantalum is testing OK. It is very odd - next step is taking the bios chip out and reading it and hopefully finding the …

The card does not output any video/sync signal - not sure about the sound. It was working a few months ago but when I tried to test it recently it did not work. Testing it on a P3 based machine that has onboard video and a set of LEDS for POST status shows it is not working but also not causing …

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has a schematic diagram for the Diamond Edge 3D 3240 PCI graphics/sound card? Or if anyone has experience with repairing these cards. I have a 3240XL and one of the surface mount capacitors has blown (C97) - these have no markings on them whatsoever and the …
