Use some cable ties to hold it down, but do NOT mess with the contacts in the socket!

Not to sure but the 503+ did not have an AGP slot up to spec with your video card??? Might be the problem with your image distortions... I agree to try plastic cable ties to hold the card in and stable otherwise the slot maybe worn out???

Sorry I cant help much more but the cable ties can be found at and electrical supply house or Radio Shack even at a general hardware store (anywhere that has electrical supplies). You will have to be inventive (figure a way to do it...) to use the cable ties. I think if you get the card held in place properly or moved to where it makes the best contact you might get lucky... Other than trying a different AGP type card in your AGP slot I dont know how to tighten up a loose slot??? Other than changing the board...

To tighten up a loose slot is impossibly, but in slot contact is spring-mechanism and I think how to regulate it. I need to break a agp slot 1 time :( and to know this mechanism. I can't try other card/board now.
Thanx.
