    quick vid card detection question

    on a video card if its not detected and bios beeps could the card itself be fried or could a capacitor be missing?


    like i booted up with a PCI card, and went to device manager to check if the AGP card was there and it wasnt

      Usually if you have both one is the primary, so in this case the PCI is the primary. It seems more like an issue with your motherboard or power supply (well, down the line at least) and you might want to check with a different AGP video card WITHOUT the PCI card.

          ... trust me all of my hardware is fine, i have 17 of these cards and ive been testing them on this system, i just wanted to know if a capacitor on the board would stop it from being detected.

          and the PCI has to be the primary as if you have the VGA cable in your AGP card it will not display a screen hence not being detected.

              not being detected could be a component missing yes. could also be a damaged trace or indeed any other damage to the circuit

              but to check for missing components you should get a magnifying glass and a light and visually inspect the board. if something is missing because it was torn off then its going to be obvious. if someone desoldered a component then there should be signs also. but if the solder pads are pristine and look straight from the factory then likely there was no component installed there in the first place.

                  A capacitor could be there, but if damage were to occur (such as bumping it, cracking the lead, and bending it back), it will not work. But yeah, any component missing would prevent it from working. Not to be demeaning, but that's what the definition of 'missing' means.

                      turns out the GPU was fried. so thats why the lines were on the screen, i tried to replace the SMDs but it didnt work oh well i tried.

                          rx580 not detected/ no display/ messing with primary card
                          by woody-009
                          Hi everyone

                          I've got a bit of a funny one, I've got an rx580 that is not detected/ wont display. It had all of the voltages needed on the core, memory, memory controller, 1.8 and 1.8 enable but the core wasn't getting warm. I found a 1k ohm resistor that was maybe missing from the pex reset A11 pin (R120 it didn't look like it was originally there but is on the board viewer). Now my core is starting to get warm but its still not detected. I have found that I don't have a 3.3V VDDC_VDDCI_PWROK signal because I don't have a 3.3V VDDC_PWR_GOOD signal to the nc7sz08p5x U1000 chip, I...

                          Marian Trace Alpha sound card repair help
                          by Christos Tsiligiannis
                          Hello to the forum.

                          My name is Christos, I am new to the forum here and i am posting from Greece.

                          So i have this old German sound card from Marian, called Trace Alpha. To be exact i have 2 of them and i use them professionally for my small FM radio station here. The first one works like a charm, but the second one does not work at all.

                          To be more specific in the same exact pc with windows 7 (i even tried 32bit) the one works while the other doesn't.

                          So i tried asking for a schematic from the company and they would not give me one. Instead they...

                          Graphics Card mounting frame
                          by Kemer
                          Hello, I removed the graphics card from my laptop and I want to heat it in the oven. What I want to ask is, is it okay to heat the card without removing the metal mounting frame on it?

                          As you can see in the photo, there is a plastic (black) gasket between the metal frame and the card. It sticks the frame tightly to the card.

                          I previously removed the metal frame while heating it, but it is quite difficult to separate it from the surface it is attached to. If there is no problem, I do not want to remove it.

                          What worries me right now is the possibility that...
