[solved] X1000 broken or GFX card problem

Hi,
as my X1000/R7-250X doesn't display something et screen anymore, is someone could advice me ?


At boot, the gfx card fan begin to rotate but soon stop.
No output on my screen (no signal detected)

In the debug log, I see :
No suitable VGA device found in the system.

and from PuTTY, I'm able to start to boot but either in 4.1.6 or FE :

Picasso96 cannot configure your graphics board!
Either your board is not supported or there's a configuration problem.
Did you install PCIGraphics.kmod?


Is somebody encountered this problem ? GFX card broken and/or power problem and/or dead X1000 ?

Thanks

Did you install PCIGraphics.kmod?

reverted back to my old HD6670 gfx card solved the problem.
=> R7-250X dead !

@zzd10h

Is the R7-250X dead? Or, was the external power connector dislodged (or just plain not connected)?

I have occasionally forgotten to plug in the external power with my Radeon HD 7770, and the machine's behaviour is similar to what you describe.

Hans

@zzd10h

thankfully it's "only" the video card ..

@Hans
Yes, I checked the external GFX card connector, no problem

@Samir
yes ;)

Thats not good news, sorry to hear that.

@zzd10h

Luckely it wasn't your X1000...

Im happy to hear it wasnt the x1000 :)

Guillaume,
gfx board dont die alone expecially if new... i suggest you in any way to take a look to the psu.

Wonderful,

Matthew/AmigaKit gently sent me a new R7-250X.

Plugged and it works !

A big public thank you, Matthew, it is very kind

Of course they do, as anything else ! When will you stop telling nonsense on Amiga forums ?

@zzd10h

Congratz!

@K-L
i had 100 or more gfx board in my life and never die alone...
only ancient old die because capacitors and some because the fans.
Probably guillaume board was factory defected, i think is the only reason for the board die expecially in an amiga system where the gfx never use all it power

@tlosm

especially Graphics cards die these days. That is because a RoHS.

Componets are made lead free, so solderings are not what they used to be.

Luckily it is possible to fix these kinds of problems with kicthen owen. Turn it on, set temperature to 190-195c. Separate everything what you can and put it owen for 20-30min.

If problem is because a lead free solderings, it stars to work again after that.

@utri007

thanks fot the explanations,
didnt know , i was thinking this issue was effecting only the console (xbox 360)

@utri007

And... do you usually have your gfx card with roast potatoes, or just some vegetables? :)

None of those. It smells bad, so no food for own same time.

Can i put my x1000 in the owen :')

@Kicko

Sure.

But to be safe, don't turn it on (the oven, I mean ).

Best regards,

Niels
