Hi

Pictures here are low res taken with flash or poor light; interesting sample of the vga card though; moving on

Located a higher res pic
Source here from ixbt.com

section I require You look at
hd7850 vbios chip.jpg

Very important Confirm Number from this eight pin chip; is on back of PCB [may require magnifying glass and very bright light to see well]

That's not going to happen; try to remember this is an open forum not a chat line and that this is not first line support [am an enthusiast that is trying to help]; saying this you are not helping your self by not answering questions that have been raised. ~ that said I'm out

Note: use edit button when require to add information

Other members of the TPU community may wish to help

Hi


This is not good solder is to much; looks as if the PCB is shorting; wire is touching, legs of the Vbios chip and they are scorched
[dose not look like have tools for this delicate work]
not good.jpg
Wire is to thick *if had followed instructions *here would be using wire from 80pin IDE cable or other fine wire
*Note: if had chosen to loop the wire this would not have occurred [*this would have been a better choice as solder skill is not up to par yet]

If can unsolder this mess and start again; remove all the wire shorting pins 1,2,8 & 7 *& [*hope that the solder has not damaged the PCB trace]

Advice: take the vga card to a professional before it is damaged beyond repair
