Hello everyone!
I traded a bunch of old 3DFX Voodoo cards for a broken EVGA Reference GTX 980 Ti few days ago, a good trade if I can get it working.
The card was damaged by its first owner who tried to change the cooler, removing couple of components off the board, which were replaced by the guy I got the card from. The card also has 3 scratches, which are not very deep but might still have something to do with the problems of the card.
The card powers up fine when the 6-pin power cable is attached, video comes up but the card complains about the missing 8-pin power cable. When the 8-pin cable is attached, the computer does not power up at all, and I hear a small click from the power supply.
The 2 components that were replaced are 5 milliohm current sensing resistor RS3 and 68H inductor L18 close to the power connectors. When these components are removed off the board, the PC starts up with power 6 and 8 pin cables attached, but video does not come up. I will probably replace these components because they were a bit crusty, the guy used a bit too much heat to attach them.
Does anyone have any tips to get this card working? Would it be possible to replace the whole VRM section of the board? Is there any schematics for this PCB?
