Re: Tecra M5 - failure of the graphics card

My Tecra M5 capped starting at Christmas, and my local mobile hospital has run some tests and diagnosed that he needs a new Board of Directors system at a cost of £370.

Thay says that the video graphics chip has failed and that it is one of a few chips on the main Board that cannot be replaced therefore the replacement of the full Board.

I have lots of pictures on the hard drive and the thousands of titles on itunes, that I will not lose, but, given that you can buy a new laptop for close enough to figure what they're citing, someone has a suggestion for access to the information stored without the re - build expensive?

In addition, is their reasonable citation for the work proposed?

Hey, Darksummer,.

I put t know what you want to hear, but if the repair is too expensive you should tell your authorized service provider. In this case, the technicians will not fix your laptop and you can retrieve it.

Your data is always stored on the HARD drive. If you buy an external HARD drive case you can use it for in-house. Then you can back up your data on another computer.
This is easy! ;)

An alternative, you can look on eBay for a second hand spare part. Sometimes, you can get a cheap offer.

  • Qosmio X 70-B-10 t - failure of the graphics card

    Hello. I offen had failure that the graphics card driver hang up and recovered himself. But today, I got this failure to the course to watch live TV streams and it seemed to me that the laptop does not work correctly. I tried to restard and then I get this message: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (cmdhlp.sys). It must be the graphics card and I don't think it's a hd or RAM failure in this case.

    Any tips? Repair? New graphics card?

    Thank you!

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what can be the reason of this failure.
    Repair is always the last step. What you can do is to test the features using Notepad with "factory settings, without having to install additional software.

    What operating system do you use?
    Do you use the original display driver or some day?

  • Failure of the graphics card on the Satellite A100-405

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba A100-405, which has a Geforce go 7600 graphics (specifications).
    Yesterday, playing a game, all of a sudden the frozen screen and showed a lot of horizontal stripes.
    I tried to restart the computer, but succeeded only in safe mode. The bands have not disappeared. (funny colors, such as low resolution, stripes, blocks, etc.)

    Question 1: Is my assumption that the graphics card is in correct failure?

    Question 2: Can this card easily replace? And if so, which would cost only? (in EUROS)

    Looking forward to your answers.

    Roel

    Hello

    These funny funny colors, as low resolution, stripes, blocks are called artifacts (adverse alteration in the data, introduced by a technical and/or technological). It seems that the dysfunction of the graphics card. To be sure, connect the external monitor to check. Talk about the replacement, if it is integrated in the motherboard, the entire motherboard must be replaced. It costs about 35% of the total price computer laptop, as you can see that it is quite expensive.

    Also, from my own experience I know, sometimes these artifacts occur because of the graphics card overheating due to dust. Do not be lazy to clean the laptop with the jet of compressed air. Otherwise, contact the ASP (SAV) and prepare the money.

    Is it possible at the level of allocation memory 256 MB max or install a graphics card?

    Shaun

    Hello!

    Sorry buddy, but here in the forum is so much discussions on upgrading the graphics card and CPU so I prefer this Toshiba document:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    And Yes, if you have more RAM, you will get more video RAM. Up to 256 MB of video RAM AFAIK are possible.

  • MacBook Pro 2014 - failure of the graphics card for the 2nd time in 2 years - no guarantee

    Hi all

    end of 2014, I bought a new 13 inch Retina Display MacBook Pro mid 2014 model (A1502, EMC2875). A few months later, the graphics card has failed - no obvious reason. Apple replaced. Now, the graphics card has not yet. Still, the mac worked perfectly well (no overheating of the noise, nothing) and all of a sudden - no understandable reason or external actions, the graphics card has failed. Unfortunately, I do not have a guarantee of more. At least, I can access my documents by connecting two Macs, so I hope that the material is not affected.

    My model (1502) apparently only has a single integrated graphics processor.

    My questions:

    • After some research, I discovered that Apple used to have these problems with the 2011 edition. They have implemented a replacement program. Does anyone know sth on this subject?
    • What graphics card would you recommend? How much such a graphics card? Where could I buy a cheap?

    Of course, I don't want to reuse the same type - guess I don't have to explain how @* #&! I'm after two times the same problem within two years after the purchase of a brand new MacBook Pro...

    I would appreciate any recommendations and links!

    Best regards

    Rahel

    -As you say, your Mac model uses the graphics processor integrated in the CPU chip. So, there are ios no replacement possible. The CPU is soldered to the logic board

    -The problem with the 2011 MacBook Pro was with the discreet Nvidia, not the graphics unit integrated in the CPU graphics unit.

    -When you went to an Apple store just says the genius of APple?

    This is the Office Mac Pro forum. I asked that your post be moved to the MacBook Pro laptop.

    Hello

    Hmm if he s really a graphics card problem then that would mean that a whole motherboard must be replaced.
    The point is that the graphics chips more be removable, but the chips are special modules that can be purchased separately

    In any case, you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner) in order to obtain more details, perhaps that the chip graphic is ok and other malfunctions of the party that knows the technician could run tests and could tell exactly which part is dead

  • Necessary activation after the failure of the graphics card

    Hello.

    My graphics card died an hour ago and I am currently using the integrated graphics chip. Windows 7 indicates now that activation is required which seems quite odd. My problem is that I can't get a new card until I return to my office in 5 days.

    So my question is. I have to go through this again when I get the new card. IE I have to do it twice?

    See you soon

    Update. Office 2013 now tells me that I need to reactivate it. If I put the dead card back at will, it stops the request?

    Hello

    I am happy that the problem has been resolved itself.

    Please post back if you have other Windows problems and we will be happy to help you further.

  • No DVI output of the graphics card

    Both times I had a brutal surge (no power line) which closes my UPS. Both times, my power monitor would not come (the PC was fine). I had sort of a recovery after withdrawal of the graphics card (Nvidia geforce 6100 nforce 430) and in him plugging back in, the first time but the second time, I could never do the monitor. I decided that if I removed the DVI connection and used the vga on the PC (not located on the card) connection, the monitor worked well (such as a VGA, of course). Since DVI output set its power of monitor, I guess now that I had a failure of the graphics card. Not having not a knowledge of graphics cards, I need suggestions for replacements for the obsolete (and obviously defective) graphics card. I'm not a gamer, heavy, but use multimedia functions and games of light. Thank you.

    Hello:

    I would stick with a nVidia card PCIe 2.0 x 16 because you have the nVidia chipset and integrated graphics card.

    This is my recommendation based on specifications. Performance and price wise.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814121422

    Because it has an HDMI output, so, it will disable your sound system, once you install.

    All you need to do is go into your BIOS. Find the onboard audio setting and change it from Auto to "Enabled". Make sure that you press the F10 key at this time to save the setting and again when you exit the BIOS.

    Feel free to shop around for other choices. This video card is just my recommendation.

    Make sure that you uninstall your old video card in Device Manager. Right-click on it and select uninstall. If there is a box of uninstalling driver check that too.  Instead of rebooting the machine as he asks, close it. Unplug it and install your new card.

    It starts up and let him do recognize. Install the drivers from the floppy disk, you should get with it. Then once it is nice looking, reboot the PC and go into your BIOS and change the audio settings.

    Plase after back and let us know how your video card replacement.

  • Tecra M2: Can play a game of the graphics card?

    It seems that play Flight Simulator could destroy the graphics card on the laptop! I never thought this would be possible. I gave a friend my old Tecra M2 (as a wedding gift) which he also uses to play FS9. A few years ago, he had to have the motherboard replaced (Fortunately it's still under warranty then) because it has become defective. This has happened while he was playing FS9. I never thought that at that time.

    It seems like the same problem comes up again, but this time the laptop isn't under warranty anymore. Nothing has been changed on the video card to "accelerate" or "chip" or another - it is standard at the factory. The latest drivers are installed for the Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 32 M / 64 M and the portable computer has 1 GB of RAM (and a lot of space on the HARD disk).

    At startup, the Toshiba logo has green vertical lines. The Windows logo also has the same symptoms, the vertical lines. I was able to boot in safe mode, a few times, then it started normally (I was onto a winner of thought), but now it seems just blue screen and reboot after Windows Logo (even if I didn't no reset in case of failure). After the reboot, I got a blue screen (BSOD not usual) with the next STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0 x 01010101, 0xF7911378, 0xF7911074).

    Any ideas? I'd be really upset if I found out that a game could physically cause a motherboard to replace on a laptop! If this is true, can someone tell me how to prevent it in the future? I have a Tecra M3 and I don't want to happen to me either!

    Thank you!

    -Emm.

    Hi mate,

    the fact is that I would NEVER play FS9 even on my machine which is a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz with 1 GB of RAM and a geforce 7800GS.
    Flight Simulator 9 needs AS many system resources and in your case it s like you take 500 tons of steel and throw on a single donkey.

    The M2 is a pure business machine and not scheduled to play these games like FS9 needing beasts of machines to run * correctly *. Maybe the older games are playable, but I think that it s right that FS9 could probably damaged your graphics unit (overheating).
    You won´t move swap the motherboard and let your FS9 fingers when you hold an M2 or M3 or a set of non-game in your hands.

    The man, who is ill, the poor M2 then FS9... :D

    Clear from the statement to me: Yes, a game CAN probably damage a portable system, but not for sure! And an M2/M3 is not to play these games. Rather spent the money for a system with a Geforce 8600 Core2Dou or something similar.

  • Can I replace the graphics card on Tecra M2?

    I have a Tecra M2 and the display shows verticle lines across the entire screen. These lines also appear when plugged upward on a normal screen.
    I checked Device Manager and it says that the nvidia card "cannot start." The problems had me uninstall and won't reinstall, no luck.
    Next option is to unplug and then plug back in, but is it possible? If it is separate would rather just replace the card. Thanks for any help.

    Chase

    From your description of the error, this really sounds like a malfunction of the GPU (graphics processing unit).
    Unfortunately, it is a serious offense and if a replacement of material you will not be able to fix this :(

    It is a case value because you can not only replace the graphics card. You need to replace the whole motherboard because the GPU is soldered on the Board and cannot be removed easily.

    There is nothing to my buddy.
    Seems that you need to contact a support technician.
