Thread: Can anyone Help Sony wants 700.00 to fix Sony SZ691

Hello,all

My video card and flew, as on board video card - they want 700.00 to repair it. It is only 1 year and 5 months old and is not under warranty - warranty is expired after 1 year.

hel me.

The two most expensive sets the motherboard (the video card for welding), and screen. Similarly, rates of work factor for people working in the review.

If I were you I break repair... since the problem could happen again. Your risk of a new GPU failure, even after you have repaired.

Next, open the laptop and replace the motherboard for you. It is not easy to disassemble the laptop, but hey, you got to start somewhere. Search the online instructions, I am sure you can find someone to open the laptop before and can offer help.

Do not buy on eBay ... when you have the services of a Sony or Sony authorized dealer store the BIOS of the plate model and serial number. If you do not have problems later if you ever try to run a recovery and so on ... gray market product of China is not worth it ... at least Sony has a security...

I saw the plate Sony MBX-170 (used in the series SZ4-7) for the sale of about $ 200US as well as China. The opening and replacing the motherboard correctly takes about half a day's work and after-SZ repeatedly pulling begins to be really tedious.

I have never used a Sony SZ7 dedicated card. If you do not use the card spent much of his SZ has served very well and I think that buying a motherboard is a very good idea. I never pay Sony.

Which uses the Nvidia card or Intel integrated graphics when the video stopped working?

Nvidia chip in this range was reported that the defect mentioned widely. Using the Intel chip Video I found a lot of heat produced at least, probably not so much a problem if his replacement.

It seems that all laptops that ship with GeForce 8xxx are ticking time bombs. Come with different triggers and turn off at different time, but it goes off.
