When I was helping to test Radeon cards in a Prometheus under OS4.1 I made the mistake of choosing a replacement cable (I couldn't find the proper one and I just wanted to get to work, patience grass hopper was overlooked ) that I thought was a good match to power the board but unfortunately it wasn't (even though it shared the flat side orientation of the original cable) I brought another from Amigakit so I could continue the tests and the Fried Board was placed to one side.
Just thought I'd ask your opinion about what you think happened during those moments of Fry-Ness!
The closest chip to the outside of the case got extremely hot infact I'm sure I burnt my hand on it but other than that there doesn't appear to be any sign of scoring or anything on this side. Flipping it over there is 3 areas where 3 and 3 and 6 small brown marks are in the tracks. I take it this is where the tracks absorbed the high voltage and burned out and they are all positioned very close to where the chip got hot but not in line with the points on the 4 sides of the actual chip.
If I am lucky it would be a case of soldering wires from the good part over to the other good part... right?
I'm thinking of taking it up to Anthony when he is back in NZ to do when he starts on my A4000 MBs, it'll be my surprise to hin
anyway, any thoughts?
