hello

Will a 6600 go be a suitable replacement for my broken 6800 go ?

many thanks

Iain

Thanks, both of you, for replying. Makdaddy - I've seen a number of similar threads, and that MXM website you mentioned, so I think you are correct that it can be replaced. However, I can't find anywhere to get hold of a replacement card, nor get any idea of pricing for a replacement (I really don'...

Alternatively, there is the website MXM-Upgrade which sells several GeForce Go boards (7600 and 7900) that are compatible with the 3438 and for about half the price of a 6800 from Fujitsu-Siemens. That's all I can do I'm afraid :/ thanks so much for your help bluehair so the replacement boards 7600...

If you open up your laptop, you will notice that there is no separate graphics card. You need a new motherboard. is this true ? I have a thread with what seems like an identical issue and have been advised the graphics card is mxm and is replaceable Thread here http://forum.ts.fujitsu.com/forum/vie...

Hi

I tested the laptop with a monitor attached via dvi/vga converter, the fault followed through onto the external display.

*confused but happy*

* uncrosses fingers and curses under breath * gggrrr.r........ approx 24 hrs after my machine has been running OK the same problem came back :cry: Glad to hear that! If you have kept the original video BIOS (v39.49), then you won't be able to use any ForceWare drivers above version 7x.xx. I have wri...

OK , i am Sorted :) hopefully..as last time i tried to make this post (about 30mins ago) my computer crashed mid post. so... booted to safe mode and uninstalled the video drivers then booted to windows normally and re-installed the latest video driver 78.10 from FSC this lasted about 6 mins then cra...
