Done! Good lookin' out. 👍
Hello. I’m new to the forum, though I’ve been visiting and learning from it for a long time.
I have a similar issue. I have the Lucky Star 4S-1A (Funworld Barry) version:

The thing is, the VGA only works in the third PCI slot; in the other two, it produces a POST code of 1 long and 3 short beeps.
I’m not sure if this is due to a resource conflict or if there is an actual problem with the slots. My understanding is that if the BIOS POST issues a warning, it is because it detects the VGA but is encountering some form of incompatibility.

The beeping in non working slots means video bios can't be initialised. The most common cause on old computers is oxidised slots or card contacts. Put some deoxit or contact cleaner on the card pins and perform 4-5 card insertion and removals on the slots that don't work

The card works perfectly on all the motherboards I’ve tested. It is not an issue with the card. The slots are pristine.
Could it be an IRQ conflict or something of the sort?
No, it sounds like a contact issue.
