Video Card is broken HP Pavillion g6 1320ed

Hello,
more that Two years ago I bought the laptop and one day the laptop couldnt start any more and only blinked next to caps lock in three times iteration. Was suspected Memory card but then once taken to  a lab was determined that the Video card is defect and it is non repariable issue. My question is how could it be that after 2 years and just few months the Laptop brakes and cannot be repaired and what this imply on the relaibility of the laptop products of HP? please your advise what can be done, since I am very disappointed being a business customer that use to buy many HP products.

  • Mac mini serial c0******jd1 brake its  video card (placa de video). It is 2 years old. It is posible?

    I have Mac mini with this number serial... Cuando la enciendo la pantalla se pone gris y nunca arranca. Hice todos los pasos que se consignan en el manual. La lleve a un servicio técnico oficial Apple  y me dijeron que era la placa de video. Vivo en argentina. En ningún lugar tienen ese repuesto. Me dijeron que tengo que tirarla, q ya no puedo hacer nada salvo que la lleve a Estados Unidos. Compre esta Mac mini en enero de 2012. No puedo creer que ya no pueda repararla. Alguien sabe que puedo hacer? Estoy enojada porque cuando la compre me decidí por esta máquina pensando que me duraría más tiempo, pero en dos años ... Tengo que tirarla???????? Puede ser que la placa de video se rompa tan rápido???

The wear to an Apple authorized service center and was told it was the video card. I live in Argentina. Nowhere have that spare. I was told that I have to throw it away, q I can not do anything except to take her to America. Buy this Mac mini in January 2012. I can not believe that you can not fix it. Anyone know what can I do? I am angry that when I buy I decided on this machine thinking I would last longer, but in two years ... I have to throw it away???? It may be that the video card is broken so fast??
    You have a mid 21011 Mac Mini. That model uses the graphics processor that is built into the CPU chip. The CPU chip is soldered to the logic bard. Thus, it appears you need a new logic board, not cheap. You might be better off purchasing a used 2011 Mini

  • New video card for HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t

    Hi, I'm starting to get some screen artifacts sporadically, Ithink my video card is starting to go bad. i want to get a new one, but I am not sure what will fit. My computer  HP Pavillion Elite HPE-170t:
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-860 quad-core processor [2.8GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache]
    8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM
    1TB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive
    1GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
    Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD burner
    15-in-1 memory card reader, 1 USB, 1394, audio
    No TV Tuner
    Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium
    I see by some other questions here several video cards suggested, but those replies were a few years old and those video cards are no longer available.
    So, any suggestions on newer video cards under $200 that will pretty much fit and work as easily as possible? Thanks!
    This question was solved.

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I don't have another monitor to try, but the artifacts seem to sometimes move along with the mouse cursor. Sometimes I can scrill the artifacts away, other times the screen freezes.
    I do have room for a double width card,  but I was looking at the XFX R7 250E 800MHz 1GB DDR5 DP HDMI DVI Graphics Card, which seems to be a newer model of the XFX AMD Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 . Both are single wide and don't need an extra power connection.

  • I want to upgrade my p6240d hp pavillion video card.

    I want to upgrade my p6240d hp pavillion video card but i don't know what is compatible for my computer. Somebody help me. Because my video card is too low
    I don't know if this one " Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB GDDR5/128bit Dual-Link DVI/HDMI/Display Port Direct X 11 "
    or this one " Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6570 2GB DDR3/128bit DVI-I/D-Sub/HDMI DirectX 11 / PCI-Express [With Low Profile Bracket] " or this one " Inno3D GT430 2gb ddr3 128b hdmi " or this one " PC HD5570 1gb ddr3 128bit hdmi " or this one " Power...

    Hi,
    Do you have a purpose in wanting a better video card?  gaming? What applications require a bigger video card?
    The p6240d only has a 250 watt power supply so a better video card will require a power supply upgrade.

  • Broken video card/hard drive backup/no monitor

    I have a broken video card.  How do I back up the harddrive if my screen is unreadable?

    Do you have access to another Mac? If so, you might be able to use FireWire Target Disk Mode to mount your hard drive on the other Mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    You won't be able to see the FireWire  symbol on the Mac with the non-working video, but you should be able to see the drive mount on the desktop of the other Mac. Once it's there, you will be able to access its contents and do your backup.
    Also, check to see if your Mac falls under this program:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    If it does, the repair will be done at no cost to you.
    Good luck!

  • Broken mount for video card

    On my digital-audio G4, while trying to remove the video card, I managed to break the green plastic ring that surrounds the AGP slot for the video card. I think its main purpose is to grab the hook at the far end of the video card, to keep the card anchored securely in the slot.
    My questions --
    -- Is it possible to pull out the broken ring, to replace it with another one? (I tried tugging on it, but it wouldn't come out easily.)
    -- Where can I find a replacement green ring?
    -- If I just leave it alone, will the one anchor screw likely keep it anchored tightly in the AGP slot, even though there's nothing to hook it to on the other end?
    -- Is there some other way to anchor the far end? Duct tape maybe ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Timm
    466 MHZ G4 (Digital Audio)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The hook isn't needed unless you bang the machine around. My video card doesn't even have a hook, After transporting the computer, open it an push the back of thevideo card down, if it needs it.

  • Pavillion P6-2310 video card upgrade

    I wish to install a better video card in the p6-2310. I have heard that some models will not accept changes in the video and that the power supply may not have the proper connectors. Can someone clarify if a new video card is possible on this paticular machine and perhaps recommend a video card. I was thinking of something like a GeForce GTX 650 or such.
    Thanks in advance, Larry 

    Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2310 Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model has a PCI Express x16 (Gen 2.0) graphics card slot and a 300 watt power supply. Please measure along the plane of the PCIe x16 slot to determine the available space for a graphics card. The card you need depends on the space you have and the intended use. You will also need to upgrade the power supply to 500 to 600 watts, The Corsair CX500 and CX600 come highly recommended and are known to fit many HP consumer desktop cases.

  • T400 Screen Broken/Blackout, or maybe the video card?

    Just had a funny, actually very frustrating thing happen to my T400.  I was using the dedicated graphics, with the laptop unplugged, the battery was at about 15% charge.  I closed the screen, the system went to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity.  About 20 minutes later I open the laptop and wait for the screen to turn on.  The screen flickers, goes black, and stays black.  Usually after 5 or so seconds the desktop shows up like normal, but this time the screen was almost entirely blacked out.  It was as if the brightness setting was turned way lower than the minimum.  You can just barely make out whats on the screen, but only by turning the screen at an extreme angle and putting your face 2 inches from the surface.
    I've tried restarting, switching to the integrated graphics, adjusting the brightness settings, and plugging in the AC, all to no avail.  I've looked on google for other similar problems but I've come across nothing like this.  Anyone know whats going on?  Am I going to have to send this in for service (/sob)?
    Any help would be appreciated, I'll post in notebookreview's forums as well.  

    Just tried plugging in an external monitor, and it worked.  So maybe that rules out video card issues?  Anyone seen this before?

    There are many video cards that are compatible with your PC.  Can you help us narrow down the selection with some other criteria?

  • Broken & Frozen Images with Radeon 7000 Video Card

    I recently purchased a used ATI Radeon 7000 64 MB AGP video card in order to upgrade my Power Mac G4 Sawtooth. This is the Mac Edition card, not a reflashed PC card. I followed the seller's instructions to download and install the drivers and the ATI display panel. I shut down the computer, removed its Rage 128 Pro card and installed the Radeon 7000.
    I turned the computer back on, it booted up okay and displayed the desktop and apps just fine. The problem came when I tried to play video -- I inserted a DVD as a test. The OS opened DVD Player and started the movie, but the screen broke up into patches of pixels and froze up. I couldn't escape or force quit; I had to turn the computer off.
    This also happens when I bring the computer up from sleep mode. The screen breaks up into the colorful pixel patches and freezes up.
    Additional info: computer running OS X 10.4.11. Sonnet 1 gHz processor, upgraded 1.25 gb memory. Computer monitor is an acrylic 23" Cinema Display, attached to the DVI port on the Radeon 7000 using Apple's ADC to DVI adapter.
    Anyone have any advice on how to fix this?

    Hello,
    according to his other posts, he removed the card from another V240. Therefore this might be a Sun XVR-100.
    The minimum OS is Solaris 8 plus the XVR-100 Installation CD.
    The Installation Guide and - CD is included with every card. Either locate these items or login to SunSolve (or use docs.sun.com as suggested by rukbat) and download the Installation Guide.
    You won't get any output on the monitor during power-on without a attached keyboard. The card requires the installed drivers to work in a graphical session.
    Just to say it didn't work is way too less information. Please take the time to describe a problem more detailed in future posts.

  • GeForce4 TI Video Card Not Recognized Anymore?

    For about almost a year, the fan on the GeForce4 TI video card would occasionally make a grinding noise, although it has always been easily fixed by lightly sticking a finger on the fan to stop it for a second and it would go back to normal.
    However, about a month ago this little fix stopped working. The grinding noise was unbearable. After searching the Internet for a few minutes, I found out that I wasn't the only one suffering from this problem, and some even offered tips on how to replace the fan.
    I followed the steps very carefully and made sure the card was not harmed. After installing the new fan, which was very easy, I stuck it back into the Power Mac and boot it up. However the monitor didn't find a signal.
    I was glad that I installed Remote Desktop on the Power Mac so I was able to connect to it and see what's going on. I opened Apple System Profiler and noticed that the computer isn't properly recognizing the graphics card anymore! Instead of the very detailed information I'm used to seeing, this is what I saw below:
    pci10de,a:
    Type: VGA-Compatible Controller
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    Vendor: nVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x252
    Revision ID: 0x00a3
    I have no clue what this means as it seems like the computer still recognizes A video card. Also this also gave me the impression that the Power Mac is missing the drivers, but that's impossible as I haven't touched the software on the hard drive and nVidia drivers are part of OS X.
    If the card is broken then fine, I'll take my losses and buy a new one as I would hate to just throw the computer away since it still more than fulfill my needs. But I just hope the AGP slot isn't broken.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Just for clarification:
    You have two systems based on the same MS-7008 mainboard, correct? Both use the same BIOS Version?
    In one system, the card is functioning, running in AGP 3.0 Mode x8 and in the other, same mainboard model, what are the symptoms of "video card not recognized" besides the AGP 2.0 Mode x4 limitation?
    I mean, if you can see the BIOS Setup, the card is putting something out on the screen, right?

  • Video card will not install properly

    Hi, I have an HP Pavillion a6120n. I am trying to install a Radion HD 5450 video card (view links below for pc and video card). I have upgraded my psu to an Ultra LSP 750w and disabled the on-board graphics. However, no matter which way I try to install the video card (while running the pc or not) and rebooting, my monitor says "No Signal Detected". Furthermore, when I try to install the software for the video card from the CD, it goes through the entire install process and says that it is complete but the file never shows up in the folder that it is supposed to. Basically, whenever the new video card is attached to the motherboard, the PC doesn't like it and I get no display.
    My BIOS version is 4/20/07. I can change the video setting to [PCI] or [On Board] but nothing more than that, like PCIE. Is there a new BIOS version that I haven't found?
    Should I be looking at a different video card?  Is this one not compatable for some reason?
    Any ideas here? I'm stumped.
    Thanks so much for your help.  Glad HP does this.

    I dont see any reason why that card wont work.
    Make sure the card is seated and the lock on the tail end of the card is engaged.
    PCIe slots are sometimes a little tricky getting seated.
    Also make sure it is not binding against the back plate on the computers chassis
    where the ports come out the back. It sould seat comfortably.

  • Found a Mac Pro in the trash, missing harddrive and video card. Can I fix?

    I believe this is a Mac Pro G5 (Aluminum casing). It is missing a harddrive and video card. I want to fix it. I plugged it in and turned it on and I see a red light coming from the front, not sure if that means its broken or just missing a videocard/harddrive.
    Is there a way I can tell if I will be able to fix this machine before buying parts? When i turn it on, it makes the OSX noise the same as when I turn my laptop on.
    THanks!

    Can you fix it? No, I think you should mail it to me
    The best way is to see if you can find a cheap video card - craigslist, ebay, borrow from someone else local to you (computer club or users group?)
    As for hard drives, since you can boot of an external firewire drive - you have lots of options.
    The video card is obviously your biggest issue. Since you apparently get the "Welcome to Mac" startup chime it doesn't sound like their is a major issue with it.
    Now, even if you get it working, what are you going to do with it? The G5 was good for it's day, but for the amount of electricity it consumes, it's not the best out there - the new Mini is probably faster than it and consumes a fraction of the power.
    Then again, you got it for free and can probably get a video card for under $100 - cheaper than a Mini and if you live in cold climate the extra heat it generates could be a net positive
