Hi guys,
I got my Voodoo 2 broken somehow and I wonder if someone might have an idea if there might be a fix.
So I had this perfectly working old box - Asus P/I P55T2P4, handful of pentium processors of different speeds, 128 MB RAM, ATI Mach64, SB AWE64 and Creative CT 6670 12 MB Voodoo 2 card.
It worked fine up until february or march. I've been very busy since then and didn't have the time to boot it up but when I did it didn't work. The monitor turns on, that is the light goes green and I can hear the noise of degaussing, but the screen stays black. It works if I connect the VGA cable directly to the video card. I can see the Voodoo card in the device manager when I boot up to Windows. The card is properly detected in the desktop properties applet. I can sense the chips on the card being warm. No picture though when cable connected to the Voodoo card.
I tried putting it in other PCI slots and I put it in another PC but nothing changed.
I remember it working fine earlier this year, the only problem I had was that refresh rate setting through registry entry stopped working. And the CMOS battery in my mobo is dead and doesn't keep any settings but it is unreplaceable unfortunately.
Anyway, anyone having any idea what might go wrong?
