Hi,
recently i bought Voodoo 1 PCI graphics card, and the seller sent me the videos and photos of working card. When arrive, i noticed one missing SMD capacitor on C101, and i didn't want to turn on the card without this little cap (even though it would work without it). I have order all 10 new caps 10uf 16V, and replace old ones. Of course, i checked continuity of positive and negative poles of every cap, and it was all perfect (i was afraid of solder bridges beneath those tiny caps). I also bought "working" Asus K7V slot A MBO with Athlon 600, and i've tried this voodoo on this "new machine"! The MBO gave me 1 long and 3 short beeps, so i thought the board is faulty. Then i tried voodoo on 4 different motherboards, but on every single one i had beeps (vga fault)???
Does anybody knows what i did wrong, when the card was working before "recapp". I'm not newbie with soldering, and i did this at least 2000 times before.
Thanks in advance
