Need an answer Lenovo G530 laptop.. The support line doesnt work in my country..

Hi, first i live In Israel and i've called the main support line and they told me they dont deal with my laptop and directed me to the ones who do > their phone is offline all day (when they should be *working* between 9 am to 5 pm). I've called them before a few years ago and they gave me much help.  Hopefully some one in charge can give me a working phone number for support. 
I have a lenovo g530 laptop, its overall nice and i got it as a gift few years ago. Its been bugging me for a long time tho. 
My questions that i've been thinking of for years: 
-I've downloaded the BIOS drivers from the driver page and after installing them on all: windows xp, windows vista, windows 7 they caused a BSOD (blue screen of death) and i had to re-format my computer and re-install windows. So my question how exactly can i install the BIOS without crashing my system? My Bios have been at 1.0 for a long time.. 
Second, you might just say 'no' you cant right away but... 
-This laptop runs on an imbeded 'chip' thats supposed to function as an internal video card, i've noticed some G530 laptops have Nvidia geforce 9300m on their Laptop, is it possible to install it on mine? (buying the video card and adding it in?), if not.. Is there a video card on this planet i can install on my laptop?... Am sure people ask this all the time because Mobile intel 4 express chipset is absoloute garbage and if i knew i was getting this laptop i would of never allowed my parents to purchese it. 
Tl,dr:
How do you install bios without getting bsod and having to re-format.
is there a video card i can add instead of this imbeded piece of crap i got (any video card.. Am sure something must fit the motherboard.. And i know the imbeded once works with the Cpu and its internanly connected.. Cmon man.. i dont wanna throw away this laptop and buy a new pc). 
Please respond and help!.

if you called them today, due to it's sunday, it's normal that they don't answer.
about upgrade, if you have the mxm solution, it could be possible.
about bios, you should've reseted the bios after flashing. it also could be compatible issuee, i'm not sure
( you may need to upgrade drivers, too )

  • Lenovo G530 laptop screen flicker

    I have a Lenovo G530 laptop that has an issue with screen flicker that is getting worse. The computer screen will start going thru a crazy screen flicker then will stop and start again. I have already checked cable connection to lcd on motherboard and reseated connection of lcd to motherboard located under the keyboard as someone suggested in another posting I found online that resolved issue for them. I am starting to think it might be a bad inverter or screen because I have hooked up laptop to external monitor and it is running fine with no flickering happening when the flickering is occurring on laptop.
    I am attaching a link to a small video I shot of the issue as it is occurring on laptop screen.
    Does anyone have any further suggestions?
    Bad inverter or screen?

    I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

    When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

    What options does booting with this give me?

  • Hi i have a apple ipod touch 3G the power button doesnt work so i cant ever turn it off but i got home and my screen is just plain white how do i fix this thnx

    i need some help i have a 3G ipod touch the power button doesnt work at all but i got home and my screen is just plain white how do i fix this

    Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try a reset (may not work).
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Then connect to your comnputer and try to restore.
    - If the screen is still white then it appears yu have a hardware problem and appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do u reboot the computer when the control pad doesnt work

    how do u reboot the macbook pro when the control pad doesnt work??? and does anyone know how to get the control pad to work i cant move the cursor??

    By "control pad" do you mean "trackpad?" If the trackpad has stopped working then press the Power button and hold it down for 5-10 seconds. This will shutdown the computer. Insert the installer disc then restart the computer. After the chime press and hold down the "C" key until the computer starts up and you see the spinning gear. Then:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

    Reinstall the drivers from the HP Website and Recovery Manager.
    Reset the options to factory default in the HP Touch screen Config.
    If it doesn't work, either touch screen failure or software failure.
    Perform a System Recovery, if it works after, it's a software problem.
    Still doesn't work, hardware problem, contact HP.
    I have more HP devices than you'd expect.
    1 HP TouchPad 32 GB with Android
    2 HP Touchsmarts (310-1000z and IQ527)
    2 HP Printers (J6480 and J5750)
    1 Laptop (HP DV6253CL)
    Have at least some experience in each of those devices, and i'll do my best to help you.
    Kudos if I helped!
