I doubt that.. I've scrubbed the 0xAA55 from several VGA cards so I could plug them into a factory bios system and not have the VGA enabled.

Without a correct header I don't see how it could have ever worked in a factory system. I have several S3 cards and they don't seem broken to me. -- Richard A.
