Many of the Voodoo cards I got off classified websites have something in common: Over half of them had some of the legs from the 3Dfx chip disconnected from the pads. The Voodoo card of todays video suffers from a severe case of disconnections, which is unfortunate because this card has faster 66MHz memory modules. Let's try to resolder all legs and bring this Voodoo card back to life!
