Title: 5500 PCI damaged :/
Post by j-dogg on 05.08.05 at 21:44:32
My 5500 PCI is apparently missing a couple parts. Here are the ones:

R511
C551
C554
C523

If anyone knows the values for those parts could they please post them up so I can fix it? I'm afraid to power it on, all the parts missing are those guys just under the GPU on the backside.

hehe they are the missing parts for the CVI connector, your Voodoo5 5500 PCI for PC normally does not have a DVI connector , so therefore it may look a little odd :)

norries mate, you can just plug her in :)

Are you sure? Theres are not unpopulated areas, there are area where there once was a cap or a resistor and there no longer is because it got broke off.

I'll plug it in in a minute and see what happens.

If it does not work, I own a V5500 that got zapped due to AGP voltage on an Athlon mainboard...too high = overheated RAM! :'(

However, it's still good for spare capacitors and resistors...so if you need it, a rework will be easy for me to do! ;D 8)

Everythign appears to be ok, had no problems in gaming with the card.

However it did restart when I opened up firefox. And I'm on an Antec TruePower 430w.

obi wan you didn't look right, the C551, 554, 523 and the R511 are smd capacitors and a resistor on the backside of pcb behind the two VSA100 chips, they are all four units soldered on my 5500 pci, so i think they are really missing on j-doggs board

wierd, I suppose my eyes got fuzzy ::) they started spinn'n .

yeah that is somewhat odd indeed, would it be possible to rework it?

Of course it is possible. I have a PACE Professional Rework Soldering station. ;D

oh okay, be carefull though hehe , it was known that reworking voodoo cards can be risky hehe. but it sounds like you know how that goes then :)

I checked my 'broken' AGP v5500 overheated card for the spare components... ;)

R511 - this SHOULD be missing (at least for AGP cards)

C551 - present
C554 - present
C523 - present

I'll check my PCI V5500MAC later and post again... ;)

=EDIT=

Confirmed, all four components exist on my V5500PCI MAC, but bear in mind that different revision cards will have different component layouts... ::)

...I can still supply the spare parts if you need them @j-dogg! ;)

hmm the wierdest thing is, that I also have a 2300 dated Voodoo5 5500, but then it's  Voodoo5 5500 AGP 64MB Rev.A 2300, it is boxed, I will make High Res Pics of it this week ;)
