I recently got my hands on a Tseng VLB video card. The pins on the main chip weren’t properly soldered, so I reflowed them, but unfortunately the card still doesn’t display any image.

I suspect the issue might be with the BIOS. The BIOS chip had two corroded pins, which I carefully cleaned and exposed the copper, but the card still refuses to POST — just a black screen.

At this point, I’m considering either replacing the BIOS chip or trying to reflash it. I’ve already ordered a BIOS programmer for that purpose. However, I wasn’t able to find any BIOS images for this Tseng card online.

If anyone has a copy of the BIOS for this card and could share it, I’d greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!

I would suggest to dump your own BIOS and test it in PCem.

You can find two versions of BIOS for a similar card here - Hercules Dynamite Pro ISA 2MB memory upgrade
