Hi guys,

I have some issues with a Diamond Monster 3D II 12 Mb card. The problem started a couple of days after I washed the card(along with other cards...) with liquid dishwasher and water + IPA.

If I connect this card to the 2D card with a pass-through cable, on my LCD I can see the following(sometimes it's just a black screen...):

Sometimes Windows 98SE loads the desktop and after a couple of minutes the screen goes black.

The card works fine in an SLI setup as a slave/second card(5000 points in 3DMark99 with P3@600, 800x600x16 + CT6670 12 Mb)! So I guess something happened on the pass-through side/circuitry of the card(if there is one...), but I don't have a necessary electronics skills to troubleshoot the issue. I can de-solder/solder almost anything(well, no BGA chips... 😁), so if someone of you could point me where to look or what to replace on the board, it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks a lot!
