Hi,
Does anyone of you have electronic diagram of Voodoo 1 board? I need it for repairing the card.

There's no schematic available for it as far as I know, but there also isn't much on the board. What's wrong with it?
It' giving some strange noise on the picture like from old tv. I've checked everything cables etc.

Diamond Monster 3D, earlier PCB revision?

I don't know. I think it is some OEM manufacturer.

I was guessing because earlier Diamond Monster 3D are known to produce interference patterns that become more obvious in TFT screens while being hardly noticeable on CRTs. They aren't defective, they just do that.
Maybe your card has similar symptoms? Can you take and upload any pics of the issue?

I've recorded video - https://files.fm/u/br2n2c9ys.
It's not the same issue you'll usually see on the Diamond cards but it does not look like a defective card to me. Looks more like interference in the analogue signal.
Is this an open testbench or a closed system? Does anything change if you put it into a closed case (or take it out of the case if it's currently in one)?
What do others think?
Try switching to 800x600 and see if it changes. Seems like the typical "high frequency noise" issue you get when hooking voodoo2s up to modern digital displays
Have you tried the LCD auto adjust? Swapped VGA cable? Perhaps another monitor?
If so, maybe a decoupling cap is going bad or something...
P1: Packard Bell - 233 MMX, Voodoo1, 64 MB, ALS100+
P2-V2: Dell Dimension - 400 Mhz, Voodoo2, 256 MB
P!!! Custom: 1 Ghz, GeForce2 Pro/64MB, 384 MB
Its just constantly raining in Laraland 😀
I would add trying another monitor too. It does look like high frequency noise.
btw there definitely are Voodoo 1/2/3 diagrams somewhere, either original or reverse engineered, because people keep making reproduction cards.

Evwrything you mentioned was checked. Still the same noisy picture.

another monitor checked? preferably CRT
you can always put scope on the signals and see spectrogram

yep
