Hello!
I have a quite rare Miromedia Vooodoo 2 12 MB with missing C207 capacitor. It freezes on initialization (computer sees it normally but going to 3DFx settings hangs my machine).
By any chance, does anybody knows what capacitor it might be?
Sincerely,
New user Konrad
EDIT: C15 on the other side is also missing. Now I'm sad 🙁
If it helps you, in this thread you might find something, Re: Voodoo 2 component map.
Doubt that 1 missing cap will make the card not work. Right TMU has some funny looking pins, maybe check that.
Edit: C193 sits sideways.

O damn! You're right! I've missed that. Now, it looks really bad 😒
Can you take a high res photo of the damaged pins? Also a photo with the backside of the card.
With a careful steady hand you bend those pins back into place. I've used a very fine sowing pin or needle you can also try using a Xacto knife to bend the pins apart.
Some pins are broken. SMD elements are falling out. I believe this one's dead 😒 I'll put it into nice frame, museum style.
Thanks for replies!
It likely is still repairable. (if you've got the tools/patience/... , or know someone who has those things and a willingness to try)
Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

I've found one guy in Poland. I'll try to contact him. Thanks.
