Title: Free V5 5500 AGP
Post by razrx on 31.07.08 at 02:53:22

Anyone looking for a project or card for display, this could be the card for you. I have gotten a v5 5500 AGP that was damaged during shipping. Insurance wasn't done so I am offering it for free to anyone willing to pay the shipping.

It's the least I can do....

I can't bare to throw it out with a possibility of having someone else put it to better use.

I wish my camera phone took better pictures....

I will try to take some pictures. Basically the card has 2 capacitors that have come off that I found in the box. There is also a couple areas where the heatsinks dug slightly into the board. Overall, it looks decent.

So... who is the lucky one that can take it? Me or Kaitou? Anyway, a better picture would be nice, especialy with the area where "the heatsinks dug slightly into the board"...

I can also rework cards - but I live in the U.K., so it would have to be shipped here and back... ::)

Card arrived. Excelent packing! Though it had a few SMD's brockened off the PCB and a couple of copper traces ripped, it was an easy fix to do and a pleasure to work on it and now it seems to run OK. Ofcourse when I will have some more time to spare, I should run on it a number of 3Dmark loops...
Big thanks go to Razrx!

That's fantastic! :o

I wasn't sure the card was salvageable. I'm very happy to hear you got it working again.

Congrats and enjoy. :D
