Explosive Memory: Can we save this Voodoo 2? (Part 1/3)
This Voodoo 2 is a victim of a catastrophic power supply failure. Some of the memory chips literally blew up! The 5 volt power supply is shorted as well. Since the memory chips on this card are rated for 5 volts, I assume that the short originates from the one or multiple memory chips. Let's see how much progress I can make in the first episode and maybe there is hope for this Diamond Monster Voodoo 2.
