I think I fried my 9800PRO

GeneralDodo · Apr 17, 2006, 11:42 PM

I think my 9800 PRO is fried, and it most probably is. Flashed to an XT, I tried pencil modding it and well, things didnt go as well as planned. First my mistake with the mutimeter in which i placed the positive lead between 2 pins causing my system to shut off, which gave me a scare ( the spark looked cool though ), and then after getting 1.79 voltage, i realized that i was getting ALOT of artifacts in ATI Tool. Everything didnt go bad until I flipped the switch on my VGA Silencer from High to Low, and then my system shut off and nothing was displaying. I check the voltage and it read 0.125. wtf? anyways, I really think I busted my card this time. Any suggestions? What's the best graphics card I could buy for under $100?

btw just thought i'd let you know that the fan on the 9800 stopped spinning, and i've been trying to figure out its cause of death

You could always try Ebay or look in the for sale/trade section of forums.
