Request Mangled voodoo 2 repair needed

[Iraito]

Many years ago I was able to get into my hands a voodoo 2, little did I know that the card was damaged.

Lately I found the courage to at least sand the tmu to show the copper, it came out well but I can't really fix the soldering mess neither the soldering of new traces going from the tmu to the board.

If anybody feels competent enough and had experiences with these kind of repairs I'm willing to send the card for repair.

I can do the actual replacement if needed

If you can give me a total price for the repair I can take it seriously into consideration.

For the actual replacement, there is no charge.

You just pay for shipping each way.

If you’d like to donate a one or two TMU’s for the effort, it would be much appreciated- but in no way required. I also have no idea what the seller charges for replacement TMU’s

Note that I cannot guarantee that there will be no other issues once the chips has been replaced.

I’ve repaired both of my Voodoo 5500’s and a Voodoo 1, so I have experience with the cards.

This sounds fantastic, send me a PM with the information for the shipping, at this point i'm willing to try repairing it regardless.

Well, one month after rimmer received the voodoo 2 any update stopped, i sent multiple messages over the weeks but i got no answer.
Do i have to believe the voodoo2 to be lost\stolen?

Currently under investigation.

Wow - that would have been a nice project.
I assume that the card - including the beautifully mangled FBI chip - is gone?

100% stolen, yes.

100% stolen, yes.

I am really sorry to hear that

In case the person who took the card ever reads this, the card still exists, and wants to do the right thing:
Contact me using the email found on my YouTube channel or website.
I will reimburse shipping expenses after the card reaches me and will see to returning the card to Iraito after a repair attempt.
