My laptop graphics have went BOOM so I thought I'd have a go at repairing the useless piece of junk. Any useful links on how to fix a 7900GS?
The issue is the screen doesn't even show anything on the laptop's screen now but does show stuff on a CRT monitor via a DVI out....Does this mean my screen lamp has also blown?
So I was thinking of trying to get hold of an acceptable substitute for the 7900gs. The problem with this is I remember reading that the 7900GS is soldered to the motherboard...so...my request to all the lovely people here is...Have you got any resources or guides with regards to how I attempt this DIY fix-it job? I guess seeing as it's basically unusable and worth about $200 even if it did work, there's no massive loss if I mess it up. I'm simply looking to try to learn something and get my hands dirty
Thanks in advance
