**ENDED** [GA] Damaged V5 5500 PCI

[GA] = Give Away

I have a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI, Rev. A1 3100, Hyundai HY57V653220B 0032A TC-6 memory (I think that's only 6ns, not 5.5), that has had two capacitors forcibly removed from the PCB.  As such, it is NON-FUNCTIONAL at present.

There are high-resolution pictures of the exact damage in this thread.  The card was 100% operational before the damage was done.

Hank says the missing capacitors are 0.1uF ceramic, size 0406.  There is also a scrape across the top of several traces, which may or may not be a problem.  It was suggested in that other thread that if they ARE damaged, they could be repaired with a conductive pen.

I don't have the skills or equipment to do these repairs, and I've got another working 5500 PCI that I've successfully removed the stock coolers from, so I'd rather give the damaged card to someone else who thinks they can fix it.

The card is exactly as shown in the pictures, except I've cleaned up the second VSA-100 chip.  I have the cleaned-up stock heatsinks and fans as well if needed.

If you want it, you pay shipping (from Canada, method is your choice) and nothing more.

OK, here's what it'll cost me to ship to either location (Luxembourg or U.K.):

By air, $45 CAD (~22 GBP, ~32 EUR).  Approx. 6-10 business days.

By surface, $20 CAD (~10 GBP, ~14.5 EUR).  Approx. 4-6 weeks.

Both modes have insurance coverage up to $100 CAD included "free".  I plan to ship the card in the original retail packaging since those boxes offer pretty good protection.  It costs just as much to ship a somewhat smaller box, anyway.

Payment would be through PayPal in CAD.


I don't really want to start taking bids, so if you're both still interested at the costs I quoted, can you work it out between yourselves?

Thanks, I'm interested but have not much left in my PayPal address. If you can ship for cheaper uninsured maybe, I'll take it for sure.

That would be a fine price...but you'll have to wait about a week or so until I get my paycheck (I'm paid fortnightly). Wink

I'll post again when I have the cash... Grin

That's the absolute cheapest I can ship it to Europe, unfortunately.  As I noted, the $100 insurance coverage is included in the base shipping cost -- you can't "opt out".  Over $100 declared value has optional added-cost insurance.  Sorry, out of my hands...

Sad

Paul, I'll keep an eye on this thread.




Aside:  PayPal is SO annoying.  Useful, but annoying.  I've had a PayPal account for about 5 years now with only a credit card listed with them, and finally ran up against the $1000 USD spending limit for an unverified account.

I can't stand the thought of signing an everyday-use bank account with a service like PayPal, so I finally opened a new account at a strange bank and signed it up under a totally new PayPal account.  At least this way there's some separation between my real finances and what PayPal can see/touch.

45 US Dollars is rediculous for a dead single card, When I shipped my 11 cards to Habbs I did that under Priority which is an insured express way and a fast way and the package was between 500 and 1500 grams aand it only costed me 22 euro's but foor 11 cards and no one.

so for one card you would only pay 12 Euro's for Express Postal services not 38 Euro's Lips Sealed

He stated Canadian funds not US.

And for fast air shipping overseas, it's pretty reasonable.
