Satellite A300 - 15G: can I replace the video card?

I bought my laptop about half a year ago.
Because I am a linux user, I reinstall Windows Vista Linux Fedora 10.

But our 'friends' ATI just create normal, 100% usable drivers for linux.
NVIDIA create drivers normal, and it works perfectly.

Support question: replace my video card ATI HD3470 for NVIDIA series, such as the NVIDIA 8400 or NVIDIA 8600 video card?

No, the replacement of a graphics card or the upgrade is not possible.
Motherboards laptops and technology is simply different as PC Office technology

  • Can I replace the video card Intel (r) 915GM/GMS in Satellite M70?

    Hello!

    I have a TOSHIBA Satellite M70, with video card Intel (r) 915GM/GMS (256 MB) that is not working properly (it might be made of the mechanical shock or high temperature, do not know, but I'm sure it's something on the hardware). I reinstalled my OS (and then replaced by another), updated my drivers but nothing changes. Then appears a BSOD evoking the video driver files I try to restart it many times because the screen guard shutted down (in black). Now, the video card is disabled, and it works normally. I want to just replace it if it is possiblle. I said * TOSHIBA Satellite M70, Intel (r) 915GM / GMS *.

  • How can I replace the video card in my Pavilion a6357c desktop PC

    My monitor is completely empty - and on the health check - free service at Office Depot - looks like my video card is nonfunctional - how can I buy the part and change the video or equivalent card?

    cschan wrote... "I tried to look it up to accesorries in HP Web site or on the internet / amazon etc to find a similar card, but to no avail as the map is not clearly specified on the specs of the computer, nor on the removed card from the computer.

    @cschan... As I mentioned previously, your system is not a graphics card... the graphical subsystem is part of what is called the chipset. Your computer will accept almost any card PCIe x 16 market chart, however the 250 watt power supply will limit your choices. Buying a new power supply will give you more chioces, but it's an additional expense. The two components will run around $100 - $150.

    I would say a little more troubleshooting before investing in some new parts. Borrow a well-known work PCIe x 16 graphics card and install it in your computer to see if your problem persists.

  • Re: Satellite X 200 - can I upgrade the video card?

    Hello

    I have the X 200 23 G

    I wonder I can update my videocard (NVIDIA GeForce 8600 M GT) or change it?

    Thank you.

    Hi, unfortunately you are unable to spend not generic parts in a laptop as they are designed.

    The only parts you can upgrade are the processor, memory, ODD, and HARD drive. But even in this case, not all components are compatible. For example, if the BIOS cannot recognize the new processor, the system may not start, or it will overheat, or operate at a slower speed.

    I found an article on the Toshiba site there explaining more in detail:

  • Replace the video card and audio lost

    I have a HP m7350n desktop under WinXP SP2

    The plug: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00585745

    I replaced the video card (original) with a Gigabyte GT 440

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814125366

    The new vid card also demanded a new power supply, so I replaced the original power supply with a Cooler Master GX 450

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817171060

    When I restarted the computer, I noticed that I had more sound. Not sure if it was important, but even after that I downloaded the latest drivers for the new video card, there is still no sound.

    In the status bar system (or what is called the lower right view), I have more small icons for audio that I used to see.

    If I run dxdiag and click on the "Sound" tab, everything is white with the error 'no sound card found.  If one must, you must install a sound driver provided by the hardware manufacturer. »

    The audio jacks are NOT part of either the old or new video card, so I think that the new video card should not cause this.

    Could I have missed feed somewhere during the exchange of food? If I remember, I have provided to:

    -2 CD/DVD drives

    -The expansion slot empty

    -The hard drive

    -A long connection on the motherboard (it was like 12 x 2 pins)

    -A small connection square to motherboard (2 x 2-pin)

    Any suggestions on what I can is dead wrong, or what I need to check? I am a novice at this stuff, so it could very well be something stupid.

    Also, I suppose, it does not matter, but I also added memory 2x1GB sticks in the empty slots (who does not see the PC, but that's a separate post)

    Thanks for the pointers

    Hello:

    I see an HDMI port on the map output...

    Why what happened?  The answer is that your video card has HDMI that requires a separate HDMI audio chip on the video card. So yes, your videocard DID cause it happens because the PC has picked up map video, disabled the car video (if you have an onboard video) and also disabled the audio system integrated, take on it for audio HDMI on the video card.

    The solution is simple, but almost no one knows about it, so I wouldn't say it's something stupid...

    Go into your BIOS. Looking for an embedded audio setting. It will be either disabled or Auto. Change the setting on " Enabled".  Save the setting here where you made the change, and again when you exit the BIOS.

    When the PC restarts your integrated sound card needs to be restored, and you will also have the use of your audio HDMI when you plug an HDMI cable to your TV.

    Hello

    Consult this publication of the article.

    There are two updates of BIOS for your PC.  You apply them?  You will need to disable secure boot and enable the legacy mode to do so.  See the links below.

    The following items of the HP should help you get a graphics card to work on your PC.

    HP Secure Boot Windows 8 themes Computer does not start after the installation of a video (Windows 8) card  

    Your PC comes with a 460 watt PSU, so be sure that your graphics card meets the requirements specified by the manufacturer of the graphics card.
