ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave it to an electronics buddy of mine about 6 months ago.
Well I got a call from him this weekend and he asked me if I rememberd that old video card I gave him to look at. He told me he got bored and started to tinker with it.
To make a long story short, he told me that I did scrape several traces but I did not actully go deep enough to cut any of them. What I did do was knock a resistor off of the board, it was a really really tiny peice. The saving grace was I managed to wedge it under another piece on the card. He used tweasers to get it out find out where it came from and soldered it back on. He tried it in his Nforce 2 board and worked like a charm. I picked it up and put it back into my machine today. It is running wonderfully now. It wont be a big step up from my Ti4200 but it is sure nice to have it back. The Ti4200 got dumped into my web/movie server and hooked to my TV. Which makes it a bit nicer to stream movies with than clogging up my main rig.
