Yes, absolutely. First, do you still have high voltage? (Does the monitor's yellow "standby" light change to green when you've successfully booted the Mac that it's connected to? And does static electricity build up on the glass of the CRT when it's in use?) Next, can you describe exactly what the picture looked like as it "faded away"? For example: did the image appear to "melt" or collape off to one side of the screen and then vanish? > 6.

Use one of your favorite search engines (Google, Altavista) with the model number of this card as the search string. Do the same using the manufacturer number as the search string. You're virtually guaranteed of finding all the info you need about the card like that. You may even find a link directly to the manufacturer's support area for the card.
