Connect3D X1900XT having problems, appears company is screwy

[ghost_recon88]

Well I have a Connect3D X1900XT 512MB. It has the red "T_FAULT" light coming on. Appears Connect3Ds tech support is non-existent, and was booed out of the United States :mad: Dang it! Any way of getting my card RMAed at all? Any way of getting the card fixed on my own? Here's (http://www.fatwallet.com/t/54/713342/) the thread I'm referring to when I say they were booed out of the USA.

Where did you buy the card from?

You might be able to get a replacement card from the distributor.

Personally, I'd consider it a 'unique upgrade opportunity'. :)

Actually I got it free from someone. I thought maybe the "T_FAULT" error just meant their PSU wasn't big enough, but apparently now. I'm not even sure its still under warranty, were the X1900 cards released in the last 2 years? I know Connect3D has a standard 2 year warranty, and there is a serial number on the card. I wanted to check and see if it had even ever been registered.
