Guest Marina Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have the same problem. I called Alienware Tech Support today and here is what they told me. 1. Alienware is no longer repairing this laptop, or at least the video cards because the original manufacturer of the video cards for that laptop for Alineware is no longer making them. 2. There are four cards that can put into the M766-type laptop: nVidia FX GEForce Go5600 & Go5700, and ATI 9600 & 9700. I hope this information is useful. I'm going to try the link above myself, but if I can't find it, I think the only option is to replace the laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I really thought that it was REALLY obvious... It was. And the complaints of off-topic don't seem to be on topic. Anyway I found this in a search trying to replace a video card as well. I have a Toshiba Qosmio G35-AV650 with NVidia GeoForce 6700. Is there an alternative or do I have to look and gamble on eBay? Before rebuilding which would not completely install Windows because of the failure I had some very strange happenings in between working and not, etc. Anyway TIA.

zipper Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 No. It's modular, but just a form factor suited to Acer - ebay is the only possibility. Acer had latest only go5350s as spare parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
