    Does BIOS beeps if northbridge is fried?

    Yes, perhaps my post was very badly written. What I meant was that my nVIDIA GPU is dead and I opened my laptop to see whether there's damaged something more than GPU. On closer inspection I noticed that my nb looks suspiciously dark and I thought that it could be fried as well so I posted here...

    BIOSs or WinXps pwd? If its XPs pwd the you can disable it by loging in as admin - at the logon screen press CTRL+ALT+DEL and in user name field enter "Administrator" and leave the password blank. Cheers!

    Vostros 1510 8400M GS died

    In fact Dell does use discrete graphics solutions. For example (G/P)M965. I just had bad luck that I bought GL965 :( New board costs around £150. I think Im going to ditch this lappy for a new one. Replacement is too expensive :)

    Vostros 1510 8400M GS died

    Hello everyone! First of all sorry for my english. Im not a native speaker. Yesterday my 8400M GS died, but fortunately I can run my laptop without x server started (which gives me the opurtunity to copy all my files & stuff). The screen looks crapy, but hey at least it runs. So I was wondering...
