Hello All,

I recently came into possession of a Point of View Geforce4 TI 4200 XP, which is kinda neat as it is basically an overclocked 4200 that uses a 4600 board. I confirmed the gpu was working fine for a couple of weeks when I decided to swap out the cooler on the card for something newer and quicker. After I put the new board on, the card initially worked well but then it started to show visual artifacts in windows 98 and it progressed to where now it shows it on the bios bootup too.

I decided to take a look at the board and see if I could find anything to indicate the issue, and I came upon this near one of the mount points of the vga cooler. It appears I may have damaged the resistors around R956-R964. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of the before or a diagram to show if there are any resistors missing or I did indeed damage them.

I wanted to reach out to see your thoughts and if this looks like a potential culprit for my now video problems. If so, what would my avenue be for identifying/fixing it? Unfortunately, I do not have any equiment whatsoever to fix it so if I could outsource to a service I could be interested in that. Thanks.
