Dell nVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX, (256 MB) PCI Express Graphic Card Questions & Answers
Bought a Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX 256MB Graphics card
errrr.... do you mean the 6 pin pci-e power plug and lead that normally comes off your Power supply?
You can get converters leads that change the pinout of 5.35 HDD power to 6-pin pci-e but this is usually NOT RECOMMENDED for any GTX series of GeForce.
You usually need the dedicated PCI-E RAIL (with its own PCI-E lead/connector... or even better x 2 of them) on your power supply for these builds.
Once again.... i definately do not recommend converting one of your other power outputs to run a GTX. At best it will not work.... at worst (though unlikely) you may end up damaged your shiny new GFX card.
If you do not have a 6 pin PCI-E lead and plug running directly from your power supply to run this card.... you need one. Do you happen to know the model of your current PSU?
Reinstalled OS and downloaded Video drivers from
Hey, did you first uninstall the former driver before installing the updated one? You needed to delete all the initial failed drivers. From that explanation, If your card works fine (Was it working well before?), then you must have installed the wrong operating system drivers, so make sure you have the right OS drivers. Tell if things fail...

The best place to purchase the Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 for a Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705 laptop is eBay. If available on eBay, the price could range from $230-$300 and search for "Dell 9400 video" or the card name. Some eBay sellers will give you a $50 or so credit, if you purchase a card from them. The video card can be downgraded (ATI Mobility Radeon® X1400 HyperMemory)
or upgraded (NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS or GTX). Also, you can try parts-people.com, but they're typically more expensive and reliable.
Yes, the video card can be repaired in most cases. Search eBay for Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 repairs.
256 MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 for Inspiron 9400/E1705 Card Failu
Both solutions are wrong. The Dell Inspiron 9400/1705 is a laptop. If you buy a Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 for this laptop, you need to buy a Dell Inspiron 9400/E1705 motherboard for a discrete video card. The integrated video is a Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The integrated video has the video chipset on the motherboard and the discrete video (GeForce Go 7800) has the video chipset on the video card.
Laptop will not turn on
It appears to be a faulty video adapter, which would need to be replaced or if the adapter is build into the motherboard the motherboard would need to be replaced or in rare cases repaired..
