I'd just like to say, yes, this should be in the gaphics card forum, but as this forum is used more often, i will get a more solid, quick and accurate response.....hopefully!......anyway, heres my problem...
i was just taking my hard drive out and then i knocked my voodoo 3 2000 card and snapped off a resistor thingy near the memory chips (may not be a resistor...probably is). the resistor is virtually impossible to solder back on because one of the two terminals is in side the little resistor and is not accessable. As a result, my computer locks up every few minutes, making me scream and shout and wish i had taken the graphics card out first.
Is there any way i can replace this with another resistor thingy or some fuse wire (i dunno!) or anything, or will it be okay if i bypass this little thing and just join the two terminals on the voodoo card together? ........
any feedback is much appreciated...cheers lads (and lasses...maybe)
