That looks NASTY! If it doesn't work - it could probably be reworked into a fully functional card... ...problem is that the damage is SO extensive that it'd take quite a LOT of time to do... Maybe with a conductive pen and LOTS of sellotape and spare time!

Phew! Nice to hear that! At least no repair work needs doing then! It's just superficial wounds. A nice card, well done.

@DenisF- I thought you were taking the p*ss when you said the sticker said "not working".

Only when I read on and remembered what languages you could speak, did I realise this was serious.

Well i'm glad that the scratches are just of the coating, and didn't get to the circuts.. that card's pretty nice

[EMT ram.. *drool*]

@janskjaer
i live in Israel as you know, i do know a thing or two about hebrew Wink

One thing bugs me though, there isn't an RMA lab of MSI here in israel.. so why the heck does it have an rma card and a sticker in hebrew on back, is beyond me..

Reply #11 - 24.10.04 at 04:55:13 Maybe MSI are conducting 'secret' 3Dfx experiments in Israel - then reporting their findings to their H.Q. in Taiwan... Their tec's have to 'destroy' the evidence - but these cards 'escaped'... LOL! 8)

@DenisF - Maybe they don't have an RMA HQ in Israel, but in order for Israeli's to understand that there is the chance of the card being RMA, they must be able to read it in their native language. Maybe it does go somewhere like Taiwan in the end, but putting it in Taiwanese (is this a language?) on the back of the card wouldn't help out many Israeli's I guess.
