When things such as the doom hurt effect come up, wolf3d fades in and out between screens, or sometimes when in windows 3.1 and alt tabbing between a full-screen dos prompt, there's these weird random rainbow pixels at the top of the screen. The video card performs fine in benchmarks with no …

Alright, working fine now. Thanks for the help.

I can check the traces with a multimeter. I don't really know how to test the components or the screen though.

Long story short, I accidentally shorted my turbo display. I was stupidly trying to remove it from the case in a short amount of time after having too short of a sleep the night before, and the bottom row of jumpers, and maybe a bit of the top row as well, touched the metal case. Computer rebooted, …

From junk PCI video card if you have similar SMD inductors even they look different but close in same location near the VGA connector. L5 and L4 above the video connector are knocked off. Cheers, The PCI cards I have have a bunch of them all over the card looking slightly different. Is there any …

quicknick wrote on 2022-11-01, 23:57: L4 and L5 (close to the VGA connector) really seem to be missing 😀 Any idea what that is, and where I can get replacements? Lots of things like that are missing, it just came that way, but I guess these ones aren't supposed to be. Maybe they fell off in …

Can you take a pic of how port and it's surroundings look like ? (both top and bottom side) Best case is damaged tracers or bad resistors/caps on the way to connector itself. Worst case : Damaged ET4000 chip or RAMDAC. Here you go. Ignore the messy soldering and flux residue. It may look bad but …

I've got this video card for my 486, but it will not display any colour except red. I've even replaced the VGA port to no effect. Is there any way I can fix this or did I waste a lot of money? Everything online says the only thing that can cause this is a broken VGA port, but that's not the case.

CT4830 - Doesn't seem to be working in windows 98 dos mode for me? I've ran sbeinit which says that the driver is initialized and have the correct parameters in games, but there's just no sound, and the diagnostics program says "is SB emulation enabled ???" when I try it. I've tried reserving the …

I've been trying for weeks to get this working in pure DOS. I followed many guides, read many threads on here and tried many drivers, but absolutely none have worked. The closest I get is with these drivers. They're the only one that actually appear to fully work, sbeset and all, but when I run the …
