Display is dead, how do I find if I have that nasty NVIDIA card???

Well, my laptop went out of warranty 2.5 weeks ago. Monday night I was using my computer just fine. Tuesday morning went to it and the display was dead. I checked the brightness, tried booting in different ways, and will try the PRAM and SMC clearing tonight.
But...
I think I have that NVIDIA card discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
But my computer won't turn on for me to check... anyway to figure this out?
Thanks!

If memory serves, all the 2007 MBP's had the NVidia 8600M GT card. Just look up your model's specs on Apple's Support pages (your model number should be inside the battery compartment on a tag there).
Was yours a 2007 revision model, or was it a 2006 model purchased in 2007?

    Found it.  It is under keychain.  Then you click the "i" button at the bottom of the page.  It will pull up a box where you can check another box that states "show password". Then you will have to put in your keychain master password, and then .....boom! there it is.

    Depends how they were transferred. If you used Migration Assistant, a new user was created. Look there in your documents folder. If you used Setup Assistant, look in your documents folder.

    How do I find the photoshop app that I paid for and downloaded????  All I see is tutorials or ads asking me to join or download cloud or photoshop!!
    Where is my Photoshop??????

    Most browsers have a dedicated folder where they store downloaded files. Have you checked there? What OS  are you using? What browser are you using? Did you run the installer? What ads? Where do you see them? Post a screen shot for anything you have difficulty explaining. Most of the time it is easier if we can see what you see.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing without a court order

    How do you find out the contacts that were updated via Facebook and twitter in the settings without having to figure it out manually?

    There is no such list of what is downloaded to each phone except in the backup. So if you have a recent backup of each phone you should be able to find an app that reads the backup files and would tell you what list is saved of the content on each phone.

    The operating system for the iPod, album art, databases, etc. all make up the "other stuff". Think of it as all the backstage things required to make your ipod work.

  • How do I find music and movies that didn't copy over after restoring Ipod?

    I restored my ipod and all of my movies and music didn't copy back over. (Most did.) How do I find the ones that didn't?  When I check Itunes it showed them in the cloud before and now they are not even showing up in Itunes.  What are we doing wrong?

    Hello Cindy,
    It sounds like not all your purchases transferred to your computer before your restored your iPod touch.  I found an article with some steps to download your past iTunes purchases.  I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Apps, Books, Music, Movies, or TV shows on a computer" in the following article:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • How do I find my iCloud data that Yosemite erased ?? Yosemite has resurrected an old Apple ID from the Me days. Everything is gone because of Yosemite

    How do I find all my data on ICloud. I downloaded Yosemite and it erased ALL of my data on the Cloud. It caused an Apple ID from Me to resurrect and has wreaked havoc on my devices. It even erased all my backup data on my Passport drive. The Passport drive shows all of my downloaded backups from 2011, but when you double clickon the various backup dates, they all show as empty. I was able to restore my music by downloading a 3rd party application, but my pictures are gone. I was having a conversation thisweekend and an eavesdropper said she has the EXACT same problem.

    An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID"
    Actually, it is more than that. If you read the licensing agreements for any OS version or app obtained at the app store, it will become clear: the license for any app or OS obtained at the app store is not transferable. Hence it is tied to your Apple ID and will remain so - it cannot be removed.
    You are supposed to remove anything obtained at the app store from the computer before giving/selling it. Your father will also not be able to reinstall the OS if need be.
    Which OS version was on the Mac originally? You will need to use internet recovery (Command + Option + R) to erase your drive and then reinstall the original OS (if Lion or later). If it came with an install DVD, boot from that, erase the drive and reinstall. After that, your father can very easily download/update/reinstall any OS or app using his own Apple ID.

  • How i can find number of messages that are inside a queue?

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post.
    Can some one please let me know how i can find how much messages are inside a queue?
    Thanks.

    If you are using < 4.0, no (you will need to exec the command from java)
    If you are running 4.0 or later, you can do this using the JMX api (see the JMX developers guide)
