So this trashed Voodoo1/Diamond Monster 3D came across my bench (not mine, belongs to someone on Discord) and while I don’t know jack about Voodoo cards, this looked pretty cut and dry. Bent pins on the FBI and TMU, and damaged/missing capacitors (that looked like someone skipped this poor card across some pavement).
Replacement caps arrived yesterday (thankfully someone on Vogons knew the values of the ones on the back of the card), got them installed, and...weird, TMU is only reporting 1MB of RAM when there should be 2. Pulled card back out, inspected the pins, realized I missed one when reflowing...and there we go, the full 4MB on this card is now being recognized!
Now, I haven't seriously tested the card yet, waiting on an extension cable from Amazon to test it as I forgot to ask for the passthrough cable when I agreed to take this on. But Mojo at least reports everything is in its proper place so I'm hopeful the card Just Works when that cable arrives.
The pins on the TMU are still kinda bent but one of the pads is starting to lift (one that passes under the TMU) and after reflowing them none of them are shorting (after checking with a multimeter) so...cosmetically it looks eh, but it should be fine from a functional standpoint and I know full well perfect is the enemy of good so I don't want to break this card trying to make it look good.
