Recently acquired a Voodoo 2 Helios by A Trend.
Card looked very clean but was sold as untested.... popped it in and it is seen by the PCI bus but MOJO hangs at the DOS/4GW runtime message.... not good.
Lets see what we can find...
Ah yeah, that will do it...
FB10 and C181 so dead they took out their right hand traces at the same time. C183 has me suspicious too...
So a question before I go replacing these parts and patching up those traces. This card follows the layout of the INNOVISION_MIGHTY_3DII_V3 in this thread - Voodoo2 component map + schematics
The BOM has C181 listed as a tantalum cap but this card uses an MLCC cap in place of those tantalums (same substitution is repeated across the board). Should I replace with MLCC or swap them all out for tantalums?
