  • Satellite P100-240: is it possible to replace the graphics card

    Okay, im fairly new to laptops, I had my P100-240 for just under a year.
    I set up with it for long enough, its been really good to me.
    The problem that has really started to check me is the graphics card, Nvidia Go 7600, it slow, Nvidia do not support updated drivers (laim).

    A lot of my games have problems with this graphics card.
    I'm looking at open aperture of my little baby and I hope just place in a compatible graphics card.

    I'm looking to replace the Go 7600 with an alternative of ATI, a list of possible cards that will fit, where I can get my hands on one of these maps and prices if possible fuck. I won't pay too much money if it's not going to be worth.

    Thanks for reading, hope to get answers soon.

    Hello

    Replacing a graphics card on laptops is not possible because it is part of the motherboard. For example: by faulty graphics card, the entire motherboard must be exchanged.

    Sorry but there is nothing to do.

  • 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.

  • Is satellite A200 - possible to replace the grapchics card?

    Hello!

    I've had my Toshiba A200 - 1 M 8 for two years now and everything was going well until one day, while working on this subject, it is just went down. The arrested LEDs had any, even when not connected to the power supply and the laptop wouldn't start. I checked the habit - power cable bad, trying to see if the leds are gone or the laptop start with and without the battery in. Then I checked if all the cables are connected to the mother board the right way - they were. Know a little of material and to be a student of applied computer science, I thought that the problem was probably with the motherboard or something related to it.

    So, an I unplugged devices connected to the motherboard to see if this allows the flow of power through the Commission. Long story short, it turned out that when I disconnected the graphics card (radeon HD2600 256 MB) the LEDs showed once again, and of course, the laptop started, but only a sound signal once or twice, which is normal when there are essential, as the map, missing. After a further inspection, I found that two blocks of memory on the card have burned completely, which explains why it did not work.

    So now, here's my question: 1. is it possible to buy a replacement directly from Toshiba? If not, how can I specify what I seek, when searching through stores online and how can I check if it would be compatible with my laptop? 2. If it is possible to replace the card, it would be possible to replace with a better model (like hd3470), this means that my laptop would be able to manage the best card and is it still possible to find a better card, mounting my laptop (physically, I mean, it's pretty tight in there: P)?

    Thanks for any helpful answer in advance, if more information is needed to answer my questions, I would be happy to provide it.

    Hello

    (1) an authorized service provider can replace the VGA card to you, directly from Toshiba. There is a list of the ASP on the Toshiba site, in the support section.

    (2) Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the VGA card in most laptops because there is no common standard model, the BIOS is coded to work with a specific VGA card and the cooling system is designed for the dissipation of the heat of this VGA card.

  • 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 *.

    Have the nvidia mxm?
    Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English

    At first, I must say that your English is very good and understandable.
    Back to your question: update graphic card is not possible. The graphics card is part of the motherboard and cannot be exchanged separately.

    Please note that the portable is not so extensible as on desktop computers. The upgrade can be done with RAM or HARD drive very easy, but not with processor or graphics card.

  • Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games

    Hello

    I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.

    I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?

    I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
    But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
    Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.

    Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
    PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.

    It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.
