Pavilion dv-7 4060us Video chip

Hello, dear friends!
This is my problem: I have a laptop hp Pavilion dv-7 4060us which is about 4 years old. I bought it from a guy 3 years ago when I was on a "Work and Travel USA" student program. A few months ago my video chip died and I tried to replase it with an other one. It did not help. This time motherboard starts but when it comes to windows logo, the moment that its time to load windows, it shows me a mistake and the only option for me is to restart. When I told that to a friend of mine, he said that the graphics accelerator of the new chip is not working. I just talked to a guy from a service for computers and he said that because this laptop is with 2 video cards, in BIOS there should be an option to change between video cards. I logged in BIOS but I could not find any option connected to "video" subject.
And finaly, I starded to wonder if in the computer service the technician have changed the old not working Video chip with exactly the same new one. Because if he put an other chip, a different one, the laptop will not work.
So my question is: Would you tell me the exact model of the videio chip for my laptop?

Hi TheBulgarian,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your hp Pavilion dv-7 4060us Notebook and needed to know a part number or Video chip number. Here is a link to the manual page 2 for a description of the Video cards. I would need the serial number of the Notebook and the same for the motherboard. Please review the HP Privacy Statement . Then send it to me in a private message.
Thanks.

How to replace video chip. hp pavilion g4 notebook

hp pavilion g4 notebook. apparently video chip burnt out. computer does seem to run hot. dead black screen but makes all
the other customery noises. video chip burnt? If so, what to do and how to do it? Product key: gf6hx-2ymk7-hm9kv-r488-wqvr7

Hi,
From your message, it can be anything, not the video chip, can be the HDD. g4 is a series of many models/products and on many models the video chips are soldered to the motherboards that means you have to replace the whole board. Again, we need to know your machine. Please use the following instructions for find out the model/product of your machine:

T42 want to upgrade video chip, so I need a new motherboard, what will be compatible?

Hello, lenovo community.
First time posting here. I have recently been having issues with my T42, type 2373-8tu, where the screen will flicker and/or go blank, then the display will either look staticy (odd for an LCD) or it will just flash a bunch of artifacts (go here and click broken monitor, and that's sort of how my screen looks from time to time). I posted a thread on reddit and a user there suggested it could be an issue with the video chip if it's ATI (which it is). I did some research and found that it is a common problem.
Now, onto the upgrade. I was looking at the specs page and saw that there is a possible 128MB video chip, but I don't know if it's compatible with the 14.1 inch model (which I have). Further, I don't know which motherboard I would need which would have the video chip I'm looking for. Can any of you with more experience than myself offer some insight on this before I buy anything?
Thanks for your time.
Solved!

Brilliant! Thanks for that clarification. I opened it up last night to check some internal things and when I put it back together the screen backlight wasn't working. Could this be caused by a loose connection or is it more likely that I messed up the screen now too?
**Edit as of 1741 EST** Also I can't find the FRU for that board. Found the fru so nevermind that. However I don't want the security chip. It seems a lot of people have had issues with it and it seems more trouble than it's worth. Is there a way to get a board with out the security chip? This page doesn't show that's possible for the 128 MB board.
You might have blown the fuse on the motherboard, or it may just have died completely. Hard to tell without knowing more details.
As for the security chip, all of these "p" boards have one AFAIK, just turn it off in BIOS and call it a day, that's what I've been doing for a decade now anyway.
Good luck.

How to Correctly update Macbook Pro's video chip drivers

I am currently using Boot Camp with Windows 7 64 Bit on my MBP Early 2011. My question is how can you successfully update the video chip drivers when using windows 7? When I try to install drivers the AMD updater can not recognize my video card. But my games have made it clear that I am not running the most recent drivers

fmurry925, unfortunately, the "normal" way of updating video drivers doesn't apply to Boot Camp installations. For some reason, Apple uses a slightly customized video chip in MBP (ie mine is an nVidia 320M, which doesn't exist in any non-Apple computer. Well, there's one.)
This means that the standard nVidia driver set doesn't recognize this chip. And I suspect it's the same for your computer. So you're stuck with using the drivers available from Apple, which are updated much less frequently than the generic drivers.
There are workarounds for this, consisting of "modding" your INF to allow the generic drivers to work for you. But I did some searching, and it seems that your particular chip, which is "switchable" between the Radeon and the Intel graphics, doesn't have a modded INF available. Yet. So, unless someone else knows of a solution, you might be stuck with the Apple-supplied drivers for a while.

After the video chip "fix"---now what

I taped a few palying cards together to "fix" the iBook G4 video chip thing. Closed the case. After start up a CD that had been trapped was spit out.
Success I thought, until,the start up brought me to the " where the heck is my hard drive" blinking folder. I attached a firewire cable to my emac and retarted in the "firewire mode" but no hard drive was accessible from my emac, So, now I have a phantom hard drive on my iBook G4 and clearly it is unuseable. Could I have damaged something by putting those cards under the cover? AND if not, is it time to have someone smarter than me fix it correctly :-/.
Thanks

Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
That worked for me when I fixed my video chip problem. I think I had to do it a few times though.

How to disable onboard video chip (ms6337)

Hi all.
My mainboard is MS6337(815Epro , bios version:1.4)
I've bought a new videocard ,so I want to disable the onboard video chip.
Thanks for any help .

I don't really have anything to compare with :(
I would need another i815E board to see if there is supposed to be a change at all.
My guess is that since there is no 3D engine in the integrated VGA core you need very little memory bandwidth to run it:
1024*768 @ 85 FPS 24bit = 1024*768*85*4=255MB/S
The RAM is capable of 1066MB/S, but the PIII CPU never uses that anyway so there is no bandwidth conflict between the CPU and VGA.

You realize this has been asked 100s of times, right?
Don't use Auto-detect. Download the driver. Unzip. Uninstall Apple gpu driver. Run Driver Sweeper 3.x maybe.
You may be able to install. If not, use Device Manager to update and find the driver you unzipped.
There are links or bookmarks to threads in my profile: bookmarks for AMD.

IBook Video Chip not working

I have read about this issue before, and I know it is a major problem with this model iBook. When I turn on my iBook nothing shows on the display, just sound, and when it does work, there is just a fuzzy picture. Pressing on the area where the video chip is(left armrest) fixes the issue, but only if I hold it. Someone said to put something in the case to apply pressure to the video chip, and this worked, but only for a little while before the same thing started happening again. What I need is some repair place that will fix this for cheap, also maybe "clean up" my iBook a bit, it's kind of dirty, missing the bottom bumpers, and missing some screws. What do you think it would cost to get this fixed and cleaned up?

DT & T Computer Services in Fremont, California offers the cheapest repair I've found. They have a six-month warranty on the repair.
Once you get it fixed, try never to pick it up by the left front corner alone. The theory is that picking it up by the left front corner alone can contribute to logic board failure when the case flexes, causing the graphics chip to come loose from the logic board. If you're picking it up in your left hand (as I often do mine), pick it up in the center under the trackpad.
As for cleaning it, a _Mr. Clean Magic Eraser_ works wonders. Turn off the iBook, unplug it, and remove the battery. Dampen just one end of the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with plain water, squeeze all excess water out of it, and use it on the case of the iBook to clean it up. Be certain to allow it to dry completely (two or three hours) before starting it up again.
Good luck.

Defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip.

I was faced with the legendary defect MacBook 2011. Problems with the video chip. Heard about what Apple makes replacement chips for free. My friend a year ago made the change in the service center. Is this true now?

Since Apple says that some copy protected DVD's will not function with Disk Sharing, you may need to "clone" the DVD, using the MBP, to a flash drive, and use the flash drive to perform the installation of the software.
Another alternative is to download and install the Trial version from the Microsoft Office For Mac website, and then use the activation code provided with the DVD to activate the full version install of the trial.

Could Heating a Faulty Video Chip Affect iCamera?

I bought a used MacBook Pro 15" (A1260 - Early 2008) about 4 months ago, After about 2 months, the computer stopped working (no chime, nothing). I took it to a repair shop, and the technician told me that I had been cheated. He told me that the video chip had been repaired in such a way that it would only work for a couple more months before ultimately failing. Now, the entire logic board needs to be replaced (apparently, the 'repair' damaged other parts of the board).
I assume he is talking about using a heat gun to extend the life of a video chip - I've read up on this practice, and it seems like a logical conclusion. However, I am not 100% sure this is what happened. Assuming that the video chip was heated as presumed, is it possible/likely that this 'repair' would/could cause the iCamera to stop working? This technician was not a Mac expert, so he didn't know.
When I bought the laptop, the seller told me that the camera didn't work - since I rarely use a camera, this wasn't a problem for me. But if I can determine that a repair of this type could/would negatively affect the camera, then I would be able to deflect accusations that I performed this procedure after purchase (I didn't). The seller claimed to be the original owner, so it is obvious that this happened under his ownership.
Thanks for any and all constructive input. Links to technological documentation would be greatly appreciated, as I am trying to build a case for court. And please no comments about the laptop being too old for such trouble - this is more about principle than it is about money.

>this is because the keyboard didn't function.<
OK new piece of information. In this model the power button connects underneath the keyboard and then via the keyboard cable is connected to the logic board. If the keyboard didn't work (Was it always like that?) then most possibly the power button won't work either. This could have been an original condition or something that occurred within the 4 months that you had the machine.
There is a way to start the computer with the top case off (I.e. keboard and power button). There are two pads (circuit board lands) on the logic board marked seperated with a line and marked "pwr". They are on the lower left of the logic board between the RAM and the upper left of the optical drive. Shorting those will start the computer.
Also:
>This technician was not a Mac expert,<
I'd get an expert opinion especially before proceeding with a lawsuit.

sorry but but I jumped to my assumption re root cause. I dropped my iPad and the screen went psychedelic. Based on very limited research it seemed my video chip may have come loose.
Without seeing it, it's much more likely the LCD is physically broken.

Pavilion 500-017c Compatible Video Graphics Cards

Hello everybody,
I just registered to this forum and I only have one question:
I have an HP Pavilion 500-017c and I wanted to get a compatible graphics card that isn't much high-end (minimum $90, max $150) for my PC gaming purposes. Here are the specs of my current setup:
HP Pavilion 500-017c
AMD Radon HD 7560D Integrated Graphics Card
AMD Quad-core A8-5500 Accelerated Processor
8GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600 SDRAM memory
Windows 8.1
For some reason, the integrated graphics card that I have slows down some of the games/software that I use. Not because of other running processes, but it just does. I would appreciate for the response. Thanks!

Hi,
HP BIOS defaults indicate that PCI-E slot security is disabled. The five beeps means your PC is having a pre-video failure. This is a very common occurrence when a video card is installed and Secure Boot enabled. See the below information that has been posted by HP.

Oracle Redhat 64 bit install does not find right video chip or drivers

Dear Experts,
There is a nice server that I want to install Redhat 5, update 5 on.
I downloaded, from Oracle edelivery, the Linux 64 bit, Redhat 5, Update 5,
and wrote it to bootable CD.
"V20658-01.zip","611558646","0C35737CD35BC26C212D205DF064CE2A","D0C7EF7CFF9635FECFDDB6BB724B1523851C1733","Oracle Linux Release 5 Update 5 for x86_64 (64 Bit) - CD 1 of 6"
and the other 6 CDs.
However, when I went to test the install, I saw the messages:
Probing for video card: ATI Technologies ES1000
Failed to start X server.
Attempting to start VESA X. Failed.
Falling back to text mode.
The crazy thing is, both the card and the chip are from NVidea:
Video Adapters

Chip Type: GeForce 9800 GT
DAC Type: Integrated RAMDAC
Memory: 512MB
Video BIOS: Version 62.92.49.0.11

This is very odd, for a few reasons:
- the card is a few years old, and the distribution is new.
- Windows finds the correct information for this card, that it is an Nvidea card.
- A different simpler card gave the same error message (NVidea GEForce 6800)
What is the secret to installing this version of Redhat in GUI mode?
Thanks a lot

Thanks for responding.
The motherboard is an Asus DSBF-DE with Dual Xeon CPUs and
an SSI EEB form factor. Used mainly in servers.
It was definitely certified for:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 x86_64Bit
And certified according to this:
http://www.linuxtested.com/results/system.php
And was used in this HP linux compat server.
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/15351-15351-3328410-3328419-3328419-3682822-3706045.html
But my problem is the video card.
When I tried installing Redhat 2.1 years ago, the
install was awful. It started the GUI. But never
found my card. When booting it could only go to
level 3 character mode. I tried reinstalling over and over
until I got it to work by trial and error. Redhat 3
was MUCH better. It found it the first time perfectly.
The Redhat install docs say:
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/4/html/System_Administration_Guide/Display_Configuration-Video_Card.html
2.8.2. Video Card
Probe for video card is selected by default. Accept this default to have the installation program probe for the video card during installation. Probing works for most modern video cards. If this option is selected and the installation program cannot successfully probe the video card, the installation program stops at the video card configuration screen. To continue the installation process, select your video card from the list and click Next.
But I'm not even getting to that initial GUI.
I can find much about certified CPUs and motherboards.
But nothing good so far on video cards.
Does anyone know where I can find a good list of certified video cards?
Thanks a lot!
