Someone on this forum fixes Pulsar Cards. Advertised as replacing capacitors but maybe help with your card.
Give them a contact if needed

I had the very same error message and it was the 4 capacitors at the voltage regulator at the bottom of the board.
They are located near (and likely connected to) the 2 SRAM chips, so the message makes sense.

I’ve now tried this in the original dp35dp motherboard albeit with win10 and have yet to get it to this point, I’ve made a separate post as well.

Ah, that is useful information. If the device shows up but the driver fails to bind to it, it might be the driver is too old (defer to garyb again for that). But if the card is damaged, that makes perfect sense.
