Replacing a graphics card on Satellite P10

I have a Satellite P10 554 for more than 2.5 years (warranty expired). But now the display start to Flash (sometimes some horizontal strips as refreshing disorders, sometimes turns completely black,...).

Meanwhile, the laptop is frozen until the view retrieves. After flashing several times, the screen can not recover more and sometimes restart the laptop (with sometimes after a blue screen of death). If I'm lucky so far, WXP tells me that an error related with the NVIDIA driver and switch to 800 x 600 resolution asking me to restart.
This usually happens sometime after Windows XP starts, usually at the age of 5 minutes. I did not notice any software related issue and he persisted after full format and reinstall Windows XP.

In addition, the most annoying part is that when I reboot after that, the screen is still bad for the Welcome startup screen (some horizontal strips down because it was a problem refreshing). To solve the problem, I let the laptop for at least 15 minutes. When I restart 'cold', the problem is repeated after some time.

My guess is that the graphics card is broken. My laptop is installed with a 64 MB NVIDIA FX Go5600. I updated all the drivers. The same problem also appears even if I use an external monitor or TV.

My question is if I can replace the graphics card. In the specifications of the laptop indicating that the graphics card uses a port AGP 8 x. Pourrais then replace the problematic graphics card?

Thank you

UH... maybe the question was too complicated?

Is there a way that I replace a damaged nVidia FX Go5600 64 MB in a Toshiba P10-554?

I guess that it is integrated into the motherboard, but it does not check for myself.

Thank you, people

  • Satellite A-C50-1DV - replacing a graphics card

    Hypothetically, if I wanted to replace the graphics card in my C50-A-1DV Satellite, how would I go on this subject?

    And if I had to send my laptop, how much would it cost?

    At first, I must say that upgrade or replacement of the GPU is not officially supported and all action in this sense is at your own risk.
    Please note that laptop disassembly will void the warranty.

    But we are talking hypothetically about all this.
    What you need to do is to get new GPU, disassemble your laptop, Exchange and assemble your laptop.
    On some models of computers laptop GPU is fixed on the motherboard and cannot be traded. I put t know how it is on your machine.
    > And if I had to send my laptop, how much would it cost?
    If the GPU is faulty and warranty still valid best option for you is o closest contact Toshiba service provider and ask for help. In case you want to upgrade, Toshiba service will help you with this.

    Can you please tell us what the problem with your machine and the original of the graphics card?

  • Problems with the graphics card on Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, this is my first post on the forum. I'm not a pro with computers or anything... the problem I have with my laptop is similar to the one in this thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26849&TSTART=0

    I spent half the day trying to figure out if my graphics card is broken, but since I'm a newbie with this stuff, I'm still not sure. :(

    This is what makes my M10. I'm trying to describe the symptoms that detailed as possible, but I'm German, so please excuse my lack of words in some places.

    1. when I turn it on, the laptop goes through the BIOS and give me scrambled BACK-screens and a slightly Warped windows loading bar. There is the consistency check, marked by black bars connecting the top of the screen down. After the audit, the screen goes black and nothing happens, or the screen of will just show me consistency check, do nothing. Be that as it may, I have to turn off the power (I think) and restart the laptop.

    2. sometimes the laptop goes through the BIOS checking & conistency with a few graphical shortcomings. The office is anything but shredded when he gets to the screen of the Windows user. The static method is if serious I don't even know where is the button turn off.

    3. sometimes Notepad starts very well, with the only graphic problem being the windows loading bar. When I go into Windows, the laptop pulls me a blue screen and stops immediately.

    4. sometimes, the laptop works fine for about an hour or two. After I rebooted, I have the same problems listed above, once again.

    5. If I open Device Manager and disable the graphics card, the laptop works very well. I have to lower the screen resolution and colors, but I can watch videos on youtube and everything. Finally, the laptop gets very hot on the bottom and the screen goes crazy again, so I turn the damn thing off.

    I don't know what that means! If my graphics card is broken, the screen should be all static, ALL the time? Not just sometimes more,... could sometimes less be some sort of communication problem between the graphics card and cpu? Please help me with this!

    Another thing I'm not sure about, even after reading the thread I linked above - can I replace the graphics card or not? Everyone said something different in the other thread...

    see you soon,
    Cozmo

    Edit: maybe I will add when I got the screen scrambled and everything. I installed Civilization 4, just to check if my satellite pro can handle, and everything went well for a while. The screen then haywire and I rebuilt my whole system, but display problems did not disappear completely. They were gone for almost a month, and now they are 'back' or something.

    Hi Cozmo

    I'm not a technician but here nobody needs technical knowledge to see that there certainly is hardware problem. I also believe that this problem occurs due to the graphics card. Graphics card is part of the motherboard and it cannot be traded separately. The entire motherboard must be exchanged.

    In my opinion, you have two options: either contact the authorized service provider in your country and speak with them, what can be done, or try to get the motherboard used. If you are lucky, you can find it on eBay. I already bought several hardware components for my old Satellite P10 on eBay.

    Sorry Cozmo but I do not see any other logical solution for you.

    Good luck!

  • 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.

    Good luck

    Hello:

    There is no graphics removable, replaceable and upgradable 'cards' in your laptop.

    The graphics quite part of the motherboard, and to improve the graphics, you would have to see if there is a motherboard listed in the guide service and maintenance for your laptop that has better graphics.

    Replace the motherboard would be a labor intensive and expensive project.

    If so what card would be compatible? I currently have an Intel GM965 Express Chipset, and unfortunately Intel stopped supporting this video card in 2009. I am running windows XP Professional service pack 3
