Hey somebody help me ?? :( i had a problem with my laptop.Would it be at all possible to put a new video card into my laptop? i have a toshiba satellite a665-s6086

Try installing the latest audio driver.
You can download any orall the Windows device drivers for your model laptop from the Toshiba WEB sitefrom their download page. Make sure you enter the model of your laptop so youcan get the correct drivers.

its a laptop so its impossible for you to upgrade the video card. that's the downside with laptops rather than having desktops. the only components that you can upgrade is the memory and the hard drive.

The only way to upgrade video on laptops is usually through an external USB video device. If you were hoping to upgrade to latest video to play games you are likely out of luck. Your machine has a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD that will use up to 1.5 gig of memory. You should get reasonable performance from that.

This could be a problem with your video card. If you have an actual removable video card then you might try to replace it. If your video card is built onto the mother board, then you are going to be in real trouble. At that point it might not be cost effective to try to repair it. Of course, since this will likely mean purchasing a part, Toshiba would likely help you to diagnose the issue since it will lead them to a sell. Hope this helps somewhat. Best Wishes!

In a laptop, not going to happen. The video card is built into the motherboard of the laptops. If it where a desk top it would have been possible. The only choice would be a new laptop unless Toshiba offered a different Video option in that model laptop. In that case it would be possible if you have the proper equipment, Hot air Station and solder to put the new GPU chip in. There are so many connections on this type of chip that it is really unrealistic to attempt to replace it with a soldering iron and solder wire or anything of the like.

If your video card is removable, you can change it. Some laptops have this feature, so your video card can be removed and replaced. At this model I can;t find no specs in this matter. Any way , a better card, more heat, more heat bigger cooling ? so? Cooling will be the biggest problem.

Dear Friend,

Under Toshiba's customisation program you can upgrade your graphic card to
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M with NVIDIA Optimus Technology with 1GB GDDR3 memory
this would cost you about $130.
Please contact Toshiba Service Center for this

If you buy a new cmos battery from Best Buy they will usually install it for a nominal charge if not for free. Hope this helps.

I saw this on another post, so is it replacable or not? Below is the other post. What effort is it to make a toshiba satellite pro m15 s405 video card replacement? Thanks // '); }// ]]> I Can Solve This! I have the same problem Post a new problem

The video card is replaceable and is relatively simple for those comfortable with laptop disassembly.

Probably impossible. Most laptop graphics chips are soldered directly to the motherboard requiring a new motherboard if one dies, and very few are actual "cards." That being said, it looks like your's is a nVIDIA GeForce4 420 Go which might be a card. I'll do some research and find out.
Comment posted on May 22, 2008 Well if you look at picture for Step 25 here:

It does say that it's the "video board." It looks like it's replaceable, so if you can find a replacement card then it should be possible. Unless you are very comfortable following the guide starting at:
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-Pro-M10/replace-laptop-motherboard.htm

I wouldn't recommend it.

Video is built into the System board and can not be upgraded on this or any laptop.
You mayneed a newer laptop or a good desktop for gaming.
