Is it possible to get a graphics card repaired?

Does anyone know if there is somewhere that can repair a RADEON x800xt mac edition AGP card?
Mine died last week.
ATI won't touch it because I am not original user; and these cards are rare/expensive to replace.
Thanks,
-Sam

Hi Sam-
You might check on the Mac Elite Forum to see if anyone can help you with possible repair.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in the HP ENVY 17-j053ea?

Hi
I'm considering buying the HP ENVY 17-j053ea for use as a portable workstation for applications such as Max Design, autocad and photoshop as a second system for when I need to be away from the office but still need the ability to work.
This machine seems to have a lot of bang per buck and is more in line with my budget than a full on portable workstation.
As far as upgrade options I presume I could max out the ram at 16GB and put in an SSD as the main OS and application drive and use the main 1TB drive as the mass storage unit.
What I'm wondering is if it possible to upgrade the graphics card in this machine?
I don't imagine I would be attempting such an upgrade myself but assuming I leave it into a professional is this possible.
My worry is that with some of my heavier model files I could feel the limitations of the mid range portable gfx card onboard. I could probably live with it if it is not an option but just putting feelers out.

Thanks for the reply Paul
I see.
That doesn't sound feasible so.
I can manage the other 2 upgrades within my budget but things seem to get quite expensive on the higher end platforms very quickly.
It's my first foray into the laptop/workstation arena so I'm not that familiar yet with clever upgrade strategies.
I did have the use of this model for a few days and It is a really nice overall laptop, both aesthetically and value wise.

Satelite A100-02B - Can I get new graphic card?

Hello folks,
some weeks ago my, unfortunately 2 year and 2 month's old, Toshiba Satelite A100-02B gave up completely.
The grafic card (i hope its called like that in english) and display crashed...
My question is now: is there any possibility to get a new card?
I can't find any fitting Geforce 7600 GO grafic cards....
Thats why i am asking here:
where can i buy such a grafic card - or: are there other (better) grafic cards available that fit in this notebook?
I hope you folks can help me with my desaster :(
your welcome
Cornell from Germany :)

thats complete nonsense written there!
GPU: In all cases the GPU is soldered on the system board and cannot be exchanged.
thats wrong - look here

its the wrong GPU - but also a graphic card for a satelite notebook - thats why im looking for the correct one (it has the same shape like the one linked above)

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.

No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.

Is it possible to install a GRAPHICS CARD on a C340 All in one Desktop machine?

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to install a graphics card on my machine? If it is, please tell me the procedure to so so.
My machine is a lenovo Ideacenter C340 All in one Desktop.
Thanks

hi joejee,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm afraid that this is not possible, The system's Mainboard is much of a Laptop design where Upgrade is very limited.

Is it possible to get your crediti card cloned at ITunes?

I have my credit card cloned this second semester. Since I use it all onver the place, I didn´t think it was due the registration on ITunes. Now, in november, I got my second credit card cloned, shortly after changing my registration info on ITunes.
Is it possible to get your credit card cloned on ITunes?
i am really worried.

From what I know the link when you use the itunes store is encrypted and your credit card details are not sent over the line when purchasing, as they are already on the server, only your username and password are sent to confirm your login.
If you updated the credit card details you should have no issue if you did it on the phone, if you did it on a pc, it could be the pc was compromised, but this is pure speculation.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a Tecra A8 (PTA38E)?

The Intel integrated GMA 945 chipset on the Tecra A8 isn't quite coping with the demands I'm putting it under. (3D gaming...)
I know that laptops are severely restricted on space internally and that the purpose of the integrated chipset is to conserve power, but is it possible to install a stand alone graphics card instead of using integrated graphics?
If so, can you reccommend a suitable graphics card and any companies that would have the expertise to install the card... (I'd imagine it'd be a little bit beyond my abilities)

Oh Well thats my question answred. I guess I'll just have to go and get a dedicated gaming desktop now too... Sigh :)
A good product idea for graphics card companies might be a removable graphics card that you can slot into the card slot or usb port on the computer. Would the data transfer rate be fast enough to cope with this of does a graphics card always have to be directly on the motherboard?

MBP - To get NVIDIA graphics card or not?

Hi all - my basic question is this: **What real world benefit do i get from the NVIDIA card?**
i know it's a quick and simple question but I'm having a surprisingly hard time getting an answer on this on the Net.
The background is this: I'm a part time web developer who just bought a refurb late 2013 MBP 15" 2.6Ghz 1TB with the NVIDIA 750 card (running Mavericks) and am pretty appalled at the battery life I'm getting.
While doing 'normal' tasks, like browsing the web, listening to itunes, watching a movie in VLC etc etc i get about *3 hours* or less and that's without any coding or development work! this increases to around 5 hours if i 'switch off' the NVIDIA card and force it to run on the IRIS chipset (using gfxCardStatus).
so i decided to try running Aperture, Photoshop and other graphics intensive apps in IRIS only mode and didn't see any real difference in performance from when i have them running with the NVIDIA card active (various filters and layer effects etc seemed just as fast)
Now - i can return this machine and buy a NEW MBP from Adorama without the NVIDIA card for the same price that comes with 3 years of Applecare AND an Apple TV!
So - what would i be losing? which apps would see a significant drop in performance? I'm sure Cinema 4D and Maya and the like would be much happier with the card, but i dont really do any 3D modeling and only very occasionally some light CAD stuff.
i do use Photoshop and Aperture quite a bit, however - but like i said, i haven't seen any noticeable difference between using them with the NVIDIA card vs the integrated chipset.
Truly the only difference i notice is the battery drain!!
Am i missing something important here?
I'd love to hear from some of you professional web devs out there (or anyone else with knowledge on the matter).
Soon as possible would be great!
Cheers all - and Happy Holidays
- Bennett

Hi Col,
Had already several questions, about crawling CP. Mostly it was linked with big files on systems with too little dedicated memory for graphics and/or to little RAM-memory. The minimum requirements specified for Captivate will perhaps work if you have only that application open and with small files. Of course, since you'll remain with 32-bit only 2GB can be used by programs, so that leaves memory for graphics if you have 8GB. Personally I always have preferred a dedicated graphics card, my laptop has 1GB card (NVidia) and my new desktop a 2GB card. But I'm also using a lot of Adobe applications (not only Photoshop but also Premiere Pro, After Effects). I know that when I added 8GB RAM to my laptop (it had a NVidia card) to the available 4GB, Captivate got a boost.... My desktop has 32GB of memory but I'm a real multitasker. I was told that the buitl in Graphics now work much better than a while ago, and honestly never tried with a system without a graphics card.

It is possible to install a graphics card for the hp touchsmart iq504 series?

Hey folks I've had my pc for awhile now. According to the datasheet it saids that a graphics card can be upgraded but the power supply may need to also be upgraded check with the company of the graphics card. So i tried email hp but no answer on the question. Im thinking of trying to get either a ati radion 4270 512 mb card or nvida if its allowed. Mostly from online search through google many folks say its upgradeable but when gaming it acts more like a laptop their for performance is horrible. Is this true? I've tried to install games on my laptop that has a radion hd 4250 graphics card but gaming just doesnt add up the same as a desktop. So if anybody has some opinions or tips that could help me in area would gladly appreciate it.
Thanks hp fan gmoney38

The graphics in the IQ5xx series can not be upgraded in the way you're thinking, the Touchsmart line does indeed resemble a laptop more than a desktop.
In general the opinion is that it is not worth persuing a graphics update for these products.

Satellite A200-1AE - Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

Could you please tell me what model of graphics card or chipset could be used to upgrade this laptop?
Will it be possible to with "CUDA"?
If can I change the processor to a higher, without cooling, to do other?

Graphic card upgrade on mobile PCs is not supported. You can do on desktops but not on notebooks.
Notebooks have specific construction and design, well adjusted cooling system and are also supported by tested and right display drivers.
With new and more powerful graphic card you can have overrating problem and hardware can be damaged.
In my opinion GPU upgrade is not a good idea.

Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

Hi Emonn
Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!

Is it possible to add a graphics card to the back of my HP

Hello I want to know if it's possible to add a new graphics card to the back of a Laptop not inside of it but on the back of my laptop ??? my graphics Card is a Intel 4000 graphics card is a terrible for gaming TERRIBLE !!!

Not sure where it would go on the back, but no the system is closed. There is no place to insert a graphics card or attach it. You will find some hokey stuff on the internet where people say you can plug a video card in the wireless card slot but those are a hoax at worst and at best they do not tell you that such a thing would not even perform as well as what you have and is likely to damage the motherboard.
