Laptop video card

[tasmanian]

I have a dell xps dont know the model. It has a radeon 9800 256 in it and it burned out. We took it to the shop and said only dell could repaire it and that it would cost more then the laptop its self. Is there a way i can replace it?

Probably not. Try calling dell and seeing whats what though.

IIRC, the Inspiron XPS had a replaceable GPU (not MXM, but a Dell standard). You could try obtaining the card from Dell Spare Parts or Ebay and replace it yourself, but don't spend too much money on a system that old.

What model XPS is it?

That's the one that was based off a 9100 - which I used to own.

Look on eBay - it's a pretty decent card (I hear it was actually based off the x800 series of video cards), and should be availible.

That's not a MXM card. It predates it by a few years.
