Tecra S3 - graphic card is damaged

Hi,
I have hardware problem my laptop Tecra S3.
Originaly graphic card NV6600 has serious malfunction (probably overheating) so I wonder is posible replace it NVIDIA Quadro NVS 110M 128 MB.
I have one from damaged Tecra S4.
Both notebooks are similar (same video connector and mainboard layout, except chipset of course).
Many thanks!
Jan

hi Bogis,
unfortunatly i didnt find any information...
but if the connector and the formfactor (means shape) is the same you can try it.
i would install the driver before changing hardware.
if a beepcode is audible after starting with new hardware, shut down immediatly and remove it!
maybe there is a problem when starting up e.g. you cant see bios messages...
but wait, bios isnt using a specific driver... so this should be no problem.
if you dare (no warranty from nobody is given) changing grafics tell us about your expirience.
thnx

Re: Tecra M1 Graphics card drivers.

I wondered if anyone could help me. I have just bought a second hand Tecra M1 and installed windows 7 on it. I have managed to find all the drivers for XP that work with Windows 7 apart from the graphics adapter. At the moment it is using a standard VGA display driver and the graphics look like it is in safe mode!
Does anyone know what the graphics card is in the M1 1.4GHZ Centrino? Or have a driver?
Many Thanks,

Hi buddy,
Just let me give you a word of advice: All drivers you can download from official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
You can also search for similar notebook models that have the same graphic card. Maybe there you can find a Vista or Windows 7 driver.
But generally speaking Windows 7 is not supported on this old notebook model. In worst case you cant use all features or get all drivers.

Hi.. I have a problem with my amd graphic card.. The card is amd radeon 6770m.. I did format on my laptop and when I tried to install the catalyst center which includes the driver, it displays a message which say that catalyst center stop working... I have downloaded all the versions of the driver since 2011 when I bought the laptop... But I have the same problem whichever version I try..

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?

Tecra S2 - Other graphic card than Nvidia Go 6600 ?

Goode evening,
What else does fit into an Tecra S2, except the original Nvidia Tecra S2?
By the way, does anyone know the price for a new Go 6600? Is it still available? I can only find it on eBay.
Many thanks,
Ben

Hello both,
Many thanks for your help.
@Akuma,
I can do it myself, installing the new graphic card. But thanks for the tip with the ASP.
@Xardas,
I think the FAQ you posted is then not right. In the Tecra S2 you can disassemble the graphic card, here an example:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130336008332
EDIT: I already did it myself, it's only 3 screws, the big connector to the mainboard and a smaller to the LCD. Well, before that you have to disassemble the whole laptop from the button and top, unscrew all F3..F14 screws and finally take off the upper part including the LCD. But it can be done, I also discovered it while doing it :)
Greetings,
Ben

Tecra A6 - Can I upgrade the graphic card?

I have a Tecra A6 A60E (171) with 1Gb memory and the Intel Express 950 video chipset set at max memory useage 128Mb.
Is it possible to either upgrade the memory allocation to 256Mb max or install a graphics card?
Shaun

Hi!
Sorry buddy but here in the forum are so much threads about upgrading the graphic card and CPU so I can prefer this Toshiba document:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
And yes, if you have more RAM you will get more video RAM. As far as I know up to 256MB video RAM are possible.
Bye

Can I replace the graphics card on Tecra M2?

I have a Tecra M2 and the screen shows verticle lines across the entire screen. These lines also show up when plugged up to a regular screen.
I checked the device manager and it says the nvidia card "cannot start." Troubleshoot had me uninstall and reinstall, no luck.
Next option is to unplug and then plug back in, but is this possible? If it is separate I'd rather just replace the card. Thanks for any help.
Chase

According to your error description it sounds really like a GPU (graphic processing unit) malfunction.
Unfortunately, this is a serious fault and without a hardware replacement you will be not able to solve this problem :(
This is a worth case because you cannot replace only the graphic card. You have to replace the whole motherboard because the GPU is soldered on the board and cannot be removed easily.
There is nothing to do buddy.
Seems you have to contact a technician for assistance.
Good luck

TS1473 My hp laptop boots but the monitori screen stays shut down and inoperable. There was no overheating, physical damage , or system issues. Video graphics card had errors

My hp laptop worked fine, I shut down, attempted normal boot process several days later and power boots but the monitori screen stays shut down and inoperable. There was no overheating, physical damage , or system issues. Video graphics card had errors

You would be better off posting this in an HP forum, this forum is for Apple products.

Apple have just replaced aMLB $945 aus. as my macbook pro graphics card failed. but 4 weeks later the screen has gone blank .i will take it in as the Mlb is still under warranty. could the MLB be damaged or worn out.?

what do you suppose is wrong with my macbook pro seeing as the apple store have just replaced a MLB at $945aus because of a failed graphic card. the new one they replaced lasted 4 weeks and again a blank screen.

You have a 90 day warranty after your machine has been repaired. Call the Apple Store/AASP and have them take another look at it.
Good luck,

Problems with bootup: Damaged graphics card?

My comp has been running without problems for 2,5 years. Two days ago I removed my graphics card and hard drives so that I could get the dust out of my case. I put them back and restarted. The computer hangs at bootup and there's some beeps (1 long and 8 short, meaning defective video adapter) and the diagnostic leds hang at "Testing RTC". Clearing the CMOS didn't help. So, I replaced the adapter with an old GeForce 2 MX and the computer works with out problems... seems like a sure thing - I broke my graphics card.
The thing is that I decided to flash my bios from 5.6 to 5.7 and tried the card again and for some reason it worked. I soon noticed that I had forgot to plugin my HDD's and had to power down. When I restarted I got the same beeps again and couldn't get it to work.
So the question is: can the fault be in somewhere else than the graphics card? PSU?
Here' my computer's specs:
KT3 Ultra2
Antec True 380W (+5V 35A, +12V 18A, +3.3V 28A)
AMD Athlon XP 2200+
2 x 512 Kingston Value Ram
1x 80GB WD, 1x 40GB Seagate Barracuda
Creative GF4 Ti4600

I've tried that already. Doesn't work, either.
Seem like I have to go and buy a new card.

Can I upgrade the graphic card Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go on Tecra M5-133

Hi,
I want to change Graficcard of my Toshiba M5-133 (Quadro NVS 110M), can I install Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go Graphiccard
instead??
Thank in advanced

Hi
> can I install Nvidia Geforce 6600 Go Graphiccard instead??
No, this is definitely not possible.
The notebook technology is different from the desktop PC and several parts are not upgradeable.
The GPU (graphic card chip) is fixed on the board and the replacement or the upgrade is not possible, unfortunately.

How to backup files onto external hard drive if my MacBook's graphics card is broken?

Hello,
I have a 15" 2012 Macbook pro with 2gb of ram, i7 processor, and a 250 gb Hard drive. In the middle of using my computer, the screen went black. Upon rebooting the computer, I noticed gray and white horizontal lines running across the screen, but I was still able to see the apple logo and loading indicator in the background. As soon as the login screen appeared, the screen went black again.
Genius Bar Diagnosis:
A few days later I took my computer to the apple store to have them diagnose the computer to determine if the hard drive was corrupt or if it was just a display issue. They found that the hard drive was still functioning properly, so no information was lost. The problem was that the graphics card needed to be replaced. So they offered to ship my laptop to an Apple repair facility in Houston, Texas (nearest one to me) and replace the graphics card, as well as any other parts that seemed to be damaged, for a flat rate of about $315. They recommended that I back up my hard drive just in case they found an issue with it (despite nothing showing up in the diagnosis at the genius bar) because the technicians at the repair facility will just swap it out for a new one.
My dilemma:
The employee at the genius bar gave me a list of Apple Authorized Service Providers that could help transfer the data from my macbook's hard drive to an external hard drive. I got a quote from them for $150, plus I would have to pay for a new external hard drive because my other one is full. In an effort to save money, I want to see if there is a cheaper way for me to backup the hard drive by myself. I have a pc laptop that still works fine, so I have been using that since my MacBook Pro died on me. Is there any way I could use that other computer to somehow backup my macbook's hard drive? Or would I need another mac to do the transfer? I have looked into buying a hard drive sled, but I don't know how those work, and I may not have all of the right equipment for it. If that is something I have the right tools for, and it's cheaper after buying all the accessories, then I would much rather go that route than taking it in to get serviced at an AASP store. Please help!
I'll give good ratings to those who give me useful advice.
Thanks,
Matt

Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro Graphic Card(GT 330M) Temporary Fix

Have seen lot of Posts regarding this issue to which i found a temporary fix and thought might be helpfull to someone else
I am with a Mid 2010 Macbook Pro
2.66 i7
4gb ram
Nvidia Geforce gt 330m / Intel HD Graphics(228 mb)
Lion 10.7.2
its been above 4 years my mb was working fine untill i decided to do a clean install of Mountain Lion and started facing this Crash Issues,
within this week i tryed to reinstall snow leopard and lion and tryed to overcome this crash issue but noting worked(couldnt reinstall snow bcaz it wouldnt boot for me)
Havent taken it to a showroom or repair centre since i already figured that this issue is due to the nvidia graphic card that came with this mb(but planing to once i save enuf money for a new repair)
for now i am on 10.7.2(lion) and my fix to this issue is gfxCardStatus 2.2.1(the new version of gfx does automatic switching for me which gives me no control)
Bfore this when ever i opend Logic Pro the gfx status automatically moved to Discrete which after a while lead to black screen and a force restart,so i came across this fix and its been working well for me
how to ;-
1 - install gfxCardStatus 2.2.1(google it for download link)
2 - switch energy saver in system prefs to battery saver and select Intergrated Mode in gfcardstatus from the menu bar
Note ;-
- after restart the defualt in gfx bcomes dynamic switching and while selecting Intergrated mode the screen will have white lines and garbled issue.
3 - so bfore restart i quit gfx and uninstall it(move it to trash n empty)
4 - after restart the gfx menu dosent come up on bar so i reinstall it from a extrnal usb or drive or redownload it from internet and install it back n repeat set 2 from how to notes.
Now repeating this process when i open Logic Pro the gfx stays on Intergrated Only allowing me to finish my projects with full concentration and without any black screen or force restarts.
Hope this works well for some one out there.

Spill Cleaning
Some liquid has just spilled into your Mac. What should you do?
Do
Immediately shut down the computer and unplug the power cord.
Remove the computer's battery (if you can)
Disconnect any peripherals (printers, iPods, scanners, cameras, etc.)
Lay the computer upside down on paper towels to get as much liquid as possible to drip out.
Note what was spilled on your Mac.
Bring the computer into an Apple store or AASP as soon as possible.
Don't
Don't try to turn it back on. Liquids can help electrical current move about the components of your Mac in destructive ways.
Don't shake the computer (this will only spread the liquid around).
Don't use a hair dryer on it (even at a low setting a hair dryer will damage sensitive components).
