Hi guys. I recently got a damaged V5 5500, and I'd like to fix it. The card came from a recycling center and it has several ceramic SMD capacitors and resistors missing, as well as two missing SMD electrolytic caps.
So far I've managed to find SMD electrolytic caps with correct values (got them off a dead GF4 Ti), as well as the SMD resistors witch I took off a dead V1, and replaced all missing ceramic SMD caps with parts of the same size and SIMILAR color by means of high res pictures I found on the internet.
The card posts, displays image, but crashes in 3D when attempting to use both GPUs. If I select only one GPU form 3dfx tools, the card runs perfectly and behaves like a 64mb voodoo 4.
Now the question - can you guys help me identify the values for C509, C510, C511, C513, C515 as well as C547 and C542? W/o the correct values for the first 5 the second GPU will not operate correctly... Is there a database or schematic with values for these parts? If not, can any of you Voodoo 5 5500 owners measure the capacitance of these parts and post them here? Please? I'd really like to get this card working 100% again....
