Guest Minde Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hey guys i got Acer aspire 1523 Wlmi and the Geforce FX go5700-V (64mb) got fried while playing. So i took it to a Computer store and they tried to fix it for about a year... So i just got it back home and i took the video card out of the laptop is there a way i could get some replacement for it? P.S. i know that the laptop is a piece of cr*p i just want to make sure that there is nothing i can do before buyng a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 It may be possible for you to obtain another card of the same type. It is definitely not possible to repair this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you know any distributer that would sell old vga's like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I don't. Sorry. But you could try Googling the part number or model number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 5700s are very rare - probably almost all have been burned already... Acer did replace burned go5700/5650s with go5350s still last year I think. But they were very pricey compared to the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone93 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 wow i didnt know what a laptop graphics card looked like since i saw your picture, that is really screwed up and i dont think you can replace laptop models since they are designed for that particular model due to size and ports. i think you should get a new one, your graphics card is poo anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 The go5xxx cards used by Acer were modular and proprietary, most probably not used in other laptops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
