Seller Note “Not working”
Summary
- Visual Inspection
- Hmm.. never like to see prior repair attempts, but this card appears to have had it’s VCore capacitors and inductors replaced (some roughish-looking soldering on their pins). Optimism reduced, perhaps this was due to VRM issues, since it was sold on to me as faulty guess it didn’t work out.
- Oh, wondered where the BIOS switch was, it’s been smashed off! Tough-life this cards had!
- Otherwise appears OK.
- Resistances
- VCore – 0.7
- VMem – 396 (Elpida)
- VDCI – 23.6
- Display Rail – 22.1
- 1.8V – 2.6K
- 5V – 818
- 3.3V – 2.4K
- 12V – 2K++
- No shorts, but that VMem reading is weird. I am sure this card will not detect anyway, but next step is voltage readings really.
- Voltages
- VCore, VMem, VDCI – 0v
- Display Rail ~0.1V
- 1.8V – present
- 5V – 5.14
- 12V, 3.3V present
