Bought a LeadTek 5900 128mb (A350 XT TDH) which had been flashed to a 5950 off ebay. (£114)

The card runs fine & windows detects it as a 5950.
I cannot get the s-video out connection to work, I cannot see any option in Display to enable it.
The bios version is 4.35.20.32
IRQ 19
Running DX9 or better
Driver version 6.14.10.56.72
Core temp 47C
Ambient 43C
 
thanks for the reply

Installed some Nv WDM drivers had to tick the box which says "my tv is not being detected" rebooted, tried to select tv but nothing displays.
all cables are connected correctly (s-video like my previous GF4ti but that had vivo)

I think that by flashing to the 5950 it has removed tv-out capability
tried to install winfox (both from CD & net) the installation unpacks and does nothing more. perhaps it gets confused as to what the graphics card actually is?!

worst comes to the worst I could buy a PCI card with tv-out but that kinda defeats the point.

Try flashing it back to a 5900, it was a common problem with cards flashed to 5950 U.
 
thanks for your help
it involves tricking your card with a BFG 5950 bios
