Service options for Video Controller failing AHT

My macbook pro fails the Apple Hardware test and is not under any hardware warrenty.  Does anyone know what my service options are?
Hardware specs:  http://support.apple.com/kb/SP13
Error: AHT 4VDC/1/40000003:VideoController
Is this something I can do myself? 
What are the general cost & time if apple does it?
I plan on going to the Genius Bar shortly but figured more information via this forum wouldn't hurt.
thank you

Hi b,
That is part of the logic board. Repair means replacing the logic board. Check out ifixit and powerbookmedic for illustrated guides.
I see you have the NVIDIA 8600 GPU, so you may be in for a free replacement.
You may havethe NVIDIA issue. First, go to System Profiler > Hardware > Graphics/Displays and see if you have the GeForce 8600M GT GPU. This is the GPU covered under the free repair program. While there, also look at PCIe LaneWidth. If it says anything other than x16, the GPU has issues. If you have the 8600 GPU, bring the MBP to an Apple Store or AASP for testing. If Apple's test confirms the issue, repair is free. Read all about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377

  • HELP! My iTunes & iPod don't have option for VIDEO???

    I have a 30gb iPod and the latest version of iTunes 6.03 (something like that). I downloaded a tv show from iTunes so I can try to put it in the ipod... When I plug it in, the Music and Pictures update by itself BUT the VIDEO doesn't update to the ipod at all eventho the box is checked..
    1.)So I go to Edit> Prefferences> Ipod tab. It doesn't give me an option for VIDEO. It only says Music, Podcasts, Photos, Contacts, and Calendars. So I'm stuck right there.
    2.) I tried to Click and Drag to my ipod but it doesn't let me do that either. I can drag it anywhere except to my ipod =(
    3.) I tried to Right Click on the tv show> Get Info> Option>
    (I read that you have to change the Video Kind to anything other than [Tv Shows]. I tried to do that but it doesn't give me that option. I can't select to change it. It's stuck on [Tv Shows])
    4.) I even tried to Restore my ipod 2 times. It's a waste of time.
    I think my main problem is that I don't have the Video option on my iPod or iTunes eventho I restored and updated 2 times. Maybe if I can figure out how to get the Video option on there then I can figure out how to put the videos on my ipod!
    CAN Someone PLEASE HELP ME????

    There isn't a "video" option for iTunes, so you can scratch that from your list of concerns.
    Huh? What's this a picture of?
    Syncing videos to your iPod
    and my stuff all plays and transfers just fine.
    And you get it onto the iPod how?

    Hello Vineet,
    I did a complete uninstall (including the CS5 Clean Tool) and reinstalled MC CS5.  I ran the updater and everything seems to have updated properly.  Thanks for your help.  I was holding off on the reinstall because of the time involved with reconfiguring the apps, reinstalling plugins, etc. 
    Looking at the installer log, there appears to be some permissions related entries that were not present in logs of the failed installs.  Here is the relevant section of the log.

  • Missing Driver For Video Controller

    my laptop's model no. is toshiba satellite pro l510. I have windows 7 installed in my laptop . my videos on my laptop was working fine till yesterday but sudeenly my vlc crashed and other video players were also crashing so i tried to update the display driver but couldn't so i unistalled it . But now i'm trying to reinstall it but the driver is not installing . also in the device manager i am unable to find the display adapter icon. and i'm getting a yellow colour icon in my other devices option in the device manager saying video controller (vga compatible)when i'm double clicking it , it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
    To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver" i'm not able to find the right drivers for my laptop . alll the drivers i've downloaded are not installing or hasn't heldped. plzz help..

    The CRC mismatch error means a system file or a registry entry doesnt match what windows or the driver is expecting. In some cases a simple chkdsk or a registry cleaner will solve the problem and in some cases a full restore is needed. Click the start button.Right click my computer.Select Properties -> Tools -> Check Now -> Start -> Schedule Disk Check -> Next Boot -> Restart PC I would also advise running a registry cleaner like ccleaner to check for errors.http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner Regsitry Tab -> Scan For Issues -> Wait until done -> Fix Selected Issues. While you are in there you should go ahead and run the regular cleaner to, but thats up to you.Cleaner -> Run Cleaner

  • NO CUSTOMER SERVICE OPTIONS FOR THE DEAF!

    I have been trying to get information on the Visa gift card I was sent. I placed an order online with Staples. AFTER the order was placed, I received an email saying they apologize, but the tablet is not in stock. The CSR at Staples claimed that my Visa card was not charged. However, when I took a look, the money had, in fact, been removed from the account. I was told to call the number on the back of the card, which is what I did or TRIED TO DO. The relay operator dialed, listened all the way through, then came back and said THERE IS NO OPTION FOR A LIVE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. None. Also, when you enter the requested information like the tracking number, etc. you get your current balance, then you are cut off.
    This is the type of thing that I abhore about Verizon. I want to know why they still have that charge listed on the card! Why is it necessary for it to remain there forever? As long as it is listed, I CANNOT MAKE ANOTHER PURCHASE. The tablet I ordered was $330.00, which took up almost the entire balance of the $400 Visa card. How in the heck is a hearing impaired person supposed to get any help if you do not provide the necessary services? It's as if you seem to think WE DO NOT EXIST! Why tie up those funds for days and days so that nothing else can be ordered?
     I pay my bill on time EVERY MONTH! If I said to you it would take 3-5 days for me to make the payment past the due day, would you wait before cutting off my service? I don't think so. So why would you tie up the funds on my card, because you can't keep the accounts up to date? How much longer do I have to wait?????

    1. This is a peer-to-peer support forum. If you want to get a message to Verizon, you should contact them directly via one of the options on their Contact Us page.
    2. I would assume the number on the card goes to a VISA support line, not Verizon. Verizon doesn't own the card, they just give them out.
    If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

  • Storage options for video editing

    For video editing is it better to use an external drive as the scratch disc or use an internal (non-bootable) drive. I keep getting conflicting information. I would like to get an additional 500gb for my system (Mac Pro G5)but don't know what direction to go. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    Well it all depends. Certainly, there's many good reasons to install a second internal drive. But I think it's better to use this as a "clone" of your startup drive. When I have a stable OS and application combo, I clone my startup drive to the second internal drive using carbon copy cloner (available at versiontracker.com). After cloning, I always try starting up from the clone to make sure everything's working. Then I can do a software update, install additional apps, and if my system goes south either from updates or some sort of corruption, I can quickly restart from the second internal drive and get back to work.
    I've installed a sata card and bought a 5 bay sata enclosure from macgurus. Trays are about $ 25.00 and drives keep getting cheaper. I can quickly swap out drives and you can also stripe the drives if you need faster thru put.
    I used to have as many as 11 firewire drives chained to my g5 and it worked great for years. But then things went seriously south and it took many months of troubleshooting to figure out the problem. It seemed like different brands of firewire drives did not play nicely together. I've been working with the sata enclosure for 2 1/2 years without any problems.

  • Does iCloud have any options for video sharing?

    I found the MobileMe gallery for videos and pictures really useful.  I am trying to find an alternative for video sharing that will allow me to upload files up to 2 GB so I can send a link and people can view the video streaming without having to download it.
    All I could find is Vimeo Plus.  Anything else out there I should consider.  Does Apple offer an alternative to what we had on MobileMe?

    No.
    Photostream is for photos only as the name says, and even this has no gallery or sharing features. Videos are not supported at all . The content in your camera roll is backed up, including videos, but that's only for restoring the device to the last known state if necessary.

  • Issue related to "Document Set Version History" option for Video uploaded in Asset library

    Hi,
    When user clicks on ‘Document Set Version History’ option from context menu (ellipsis) of a particular video, ‘Sorry, something went wrong’ message is shown. The error message also says,
    versions are currently disabled for this document library.
    When we enabled version history for the video library, the functionality started working as expected.
    Ideally the context menu of video should not show ‘Document Set Version History’ option. But we are not sure why it is showing that option.
    Can anybody please explain, is it bug in sharepoint ? or any other approach we have to use.

    Hi Sanket,
    We need to configure the send to connections for the corresponding web application in Central Administration and then the locations will be available when clicking the Send To Other Location.
    Please go to Central Administration > General Application Settings > Configure send to connections.
    After configuring the send to connections for the web application where you need to use the Send To Other Location, the location will be available.

  • Best output option for video when doing adr and vocal recording?

    I know this topic has come up before on occasion but I wanted to bring it up to hopefully reach a final conclusion.
    Does anyone know the best configuration to use for ADR and other vocal recording in Logic when the mic and screen are in a separate room? The options I've seen so far are:
    - Send video via DV firewire to a converter box and then to a monitor. With limited firewire ports already in use for the audio interface and dsp units, has anyone tried daisy chaining or using a firewire hub for dv output to a monitor?
    or
    - Use a DVI splitter to run to a 3rd LCD monitor(as a 2nd one is already in use) so the regular 'video window' could be dragged across to appear on the vocalist/actor's monitor.
    These are the only choices I've seen seen so far but if anyone has any other's or recommendations on which of these to go for, I'd love to hear them.
    Cheers
    Paul

  • Service Options for ES 5000

    What are my options to have an es5000 camcorder serviced? Thanks for a response
     I have used this since 1995 and NEVER had to have it service until now with a "stuck" ejector. To me its a Canon "Super Star"

    Hi bcuzz!
    Thank you for posting.
    Due to the age of the ES 5000, it can no longer be serviced by our Factory Service Center.  Replacement parts are no longer available. 
    However, you may qualify for the Canon Loyalty Program.  This program allows you to replace your current camera with another for a discounted fee.  The original non-functioning camera would then be returned to us for recycling using a prepaid shipping label we provide.  For more information, please contact our Sales Department at (800) OK-CANON, seven days a week, 8am to midnight.

  • What do i do if all my options for video chat are greyed out for ichat?

    I have been using video chat for a long time and have never run into this problem. On ichat i am only able to access the audio options and not the video options, am not able to even check off the Camera Enabled or anything to do with my camera, as it is greyed out.... HELP?

    Go to http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/default.htm and check the links under the Learn and Develop sections. All of the tools are there for creating native LabVIEW drivers.
    Unless your customers would want an IVI or 'plug and play' driver, then you don't need any other software. For this, you would need to write the driver with LabWindows/CVI. This would be a benefit for anyone not using LabVIEW such as CVI, VB, C++, etc.
    To provide support, you should probably provide the driver in at least 7.0 and 8.0 format but you're going to have to judge who your potential customers are and what versions of LabVIEW they currently have. If the DAC/ADC combo requires DAQmx, that automatically eliminates LabVIEW 6.1 or lower.

  • What is the best export option for video podcasting purposes?

    Although Quicktime has an "Export to iPod" option, I was wondering if there was any better means to export from FCP or Quicktime for purposes of podcasting and YouTube posting to ensure best quality while containing file size.
    Thank you for your help!

    Felix,
    use Compressor.
    1)Look into Settings presets, towards the bottom. You have several options and the best for you comes from testing a few, just a few seconds each.
    2)In inspector you can customize settings further.
    Have fun,
    G.
