Aspire 7720G major upgrade

sorry boys

I have this problem ...

I put the nvida 9600 gt on my 7720g and it doesn't work



so i get off 9600 and put in 8400 and it's ok so a turn ok 7720g and I reput in nvidia 9600 and this is the situation



I don't understand what's the problem ufffffffffff




please help me !

 

Looks like the 9600 needs a reflow.

 

sorry....
I don't know .... what do yo mean "reflow " ?
what can i do for fix it ?
I hope I don't have to change the motherboard...... uffff
because now I put again old 8400 but no one driver for win 7 64bit works... I use it whit standard vga driver GRRRRGRGRGGGG

PLEASE HELP ME

 

Basically the 9600 has a solder fault (the GPU is not making contact with the MXM PCB). A reflow involves re-melting the solder balls below the GPU - a simple oven can do this, but a proper reworking station has better success rate.

However, if the card is still under warranty, send it back.

 

thank you Netroller...

so it possible the problem is 9600.... but I don't think so ...
now because now I put again old 8400 but no one driver for win 7 64bit works... I use it whit standard vga driver ...
and when I use right driver the system doesn't work...










so I think I have a problem on my mother boards.....sighhhhhhhhhhh


do you have some idea for any test about it ?

 

Uninstall the driver in safe mode, and install another version.

 

netrolller I tried whit this one Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Notebook / Aspire / Aspire 7720G

whit omega driver and whit original driver nvidia for windows 7 64bit... nothing to do
What can I do for ceck my motherbord ? Someone told me it's possibile the pci express plug doen't work

what are you thinking ?

 

Hi .NetRoller, I installed the 4965agn but haven't tested it yet because I had to send my Intel 320 120gb ssd back, as it kept making a stupid clicking/chirping noise, sounded like a quite hdd or fax modem haha.

My question is should i bother installing the extra antenna they gave me?, if so how do i do that?

Oh and have u ever experienced weird noises from the ssd, and it was definitely the ssd because i tested it on different machines and made sure i put my ear up to it to make sure, the intel app said it was working perfectly but i sent it back for replacement anyway, because i checked loads of forums and they said it should be 100% completely silent.
Regards.

 

@samuelvega: Presumably the 8400 also failed then. (8400s are extremely prone to failure.)

@JIC_E7: The 3rd antenna doesn't really matter for a 4965. (It would be important for a true 3x3 MIMO card, like the 5300.)

No idea about the SSD - never owned one, they are prohibitively expensive in Hungary.

 

Netrolller so you suggest it's probably I have 2 GPUS broken and not my mainboard ??
I don't think so.... Do you know how can I ceck this ?

 

A mainboard issue will never cause graphic glitching in MXM systems - especially not one that only occurs upon loading the Nvidia drivers.

Both the 8400M GS and the earlier (pre-2009) 9600M GT chips are Bumpgate-affected, which can easily cause these symptoms.

http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7682/acer77201.jpg actually looks like a dead or improperly soldered VRAM chip, another common failure mode for 9600M GTs.

 

Hi,

I have the same laptop as yours. I bought a 9600m GT ddr2 card. But I get a black screen all the time. I can hear windows loading.

How did you get yours to work. Any suggestion?

Thanks.

 

Sounds like you have a card that's not for Acer, probably has a BIOS from other manufacturer. You can replace your card with the one for Acer or you can perform a blind flash.

 

Sorry for being such a noob, how do I perform a blind flash?

 

right.... I'll try to find a friend of mine that I Ceck the GPUS ... before change my motherboard

 

@Netroller 3D :

Where did you find your MX25L512 please ?

And which model exactly, i know there's : MX25L512 MX25L512MC-12G MX25L512MI-12G MX25L512ZUI-12G

Regards,Ray

 

I dont think I got an answer to this question. the hi res screen will work at max res with my onboard graphics, correct?

 

Any MX25L512 in a SOIC8 package will work.

 

Thanks and where did you find it ? without problem with minimum quantity ?

 

On <!-- -->eBay.

 

Ok ok, thanks. Nothing for the moment on Ebay, but i can wait (it's hard )

 

I can confirm, the LG Philips LP171WU3 (TL) (B1) 1920x1200 WORKS perfectly and 100% Ok with Acer 7720G.

I buy this one on Ebay :

LG PHILIPS LP171WU1-TL A2 17" WUXGA DALLE ECRAN en vente sur eBay.fr (fin le 19-févr.-12 22:47:11 Paris)

When i open the box, i was furious , because it's not "the good one".
i received the LP171WU3 (TL) (B1).

And the first time i fit it into the screen case, and want to put the LVDS harness connector, erm..... i think it's not the good LVDS connetor....
But eheh.... seems to be the same

I retry, very gently to put the connector to not bend or break the connector... but no success

Retry... Pushhhhhhhhhh... YES ! N-e-v-e-r seen that before
i need so much force to plug it ! scary !!!

But since 10 years of Laptop repair or upgrade, i repeat, never seen sooo
much force to plug the LVDS connector !

 

I've experienced the same with the LP154WU1 in my 5720G. Evidently LG uses a slightly different, thinner connector than AU Optronics.

About the chip: Search for "MX25L512*" on eBay - the asterisk is important, as there always extra letters after 512.

 

Hi, bought my new screen for 7720g

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

before i strip down to fit, was thinking of fitting this internal TV card too...but surely it will need an antenna? This is the card I was thinking of.

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

 

about the tv tuner card, i have the same one in my acer 7720g and there is a little port (a little like an Ariel port or RF port at the back of a tv) on the far back right side that connects to an antenna like device that came with the laptop, tried using it once or twice but would rather watch tv off my xbox lol

 

@JIC_E7: That port is only present of machines that originally came with a TV tuner. On originally tunerless models, its place is blocked up with plastic.

 

Thanks for that NetRoller & JIC_E7.........an upgrade(Pointless) to far then.
I'd thought perhaps some sort of hybrid antenna could be fitted instead of the wireless one present at the moment......silly me.

 

hmmm wonder if I can get help with this one, i bought an intel 320 ssd 120gb and installed it in my acer aspire 7720g. I started hearing a sort of buzzing/ chirping noise kinda like the noise you would hear from a normal hard drive but much more electronic, a bit like an old 56k modem lol. I presumed something was wrong with it so I put my ear up against were the laptop is and it was definitely from the ssd.

i also took it out and tried it on several computers and laptops, both internally and externally. I sent it back to the retailer and told them there is a fault with the ssd. They checked it and tested it and it turns out there was a fault so they sent me a replacement. I installed the replacement and little to my shock it was exactly the same except slightly quieter.

I then rang intel and they told me that they have never heard of such a thing and to send it back to the retailer immediately as there is definitely a fault. I sent it back and same thing they said there was a fault. I am now on my 3rd ssd, and guess what, exactly the same....

I know it must be really rare for it to happen, but I have my 3rd ssd and cannot be bothered sending it back, because most likely the same thing will happen haha, has anyone got any suggestions? Anything I'm missing here, I am pretty sure they should be silent...am i just that unlucky?

Thanks in advanced

 

Are you sure you are dealing with genuine Intel SSDs, and not some kind of couterfeit? I'm starting to suspect that there are micro-SD cards or some other fake behind the shiny Intel covering, instead of the usual SSD PCB.

 

No its definitely genuine intel retail product and not the cheaper oem or a fake, the serial numbers i checked and are genuine products, plus its from ebuyer, which is the biggest online computer retailer something like best buy or whatever they are called and all the products are genuine.
oh and the ssd works perfectly fine, its extremely fast and in windows index it says 7.7 for hard disk performance, and on the intel ssd toolbox program, it says its running perfectly fine, everything is optimised and running 100%.

I just cant figure it out...

 

It would be awesome if you could record this sound...

 

Ah oh tomrad I will do, I had to take the hard drive out today and then reinsert it into the laptop, for some reason I got the blue screen of death and the computer restarted, only now it could not see the hard drive at all.
Thankfully it worked after I took it out and reinserted.

 

No you're not unlucky or i am too lol
But i can confirm this curious noise and exactly the same as you describe !

Intel X25-M SSD 80GB Version #G11143-100 flashed with the latest firmware.
Prod Code : SSDSA2MH080G2K5

 

Hmm thats weird, so its not true that they are completely silent, intel said on the phone that it has to be 100% silent, unless I have got some weird hearing senses that I can hear the electronics hahah, thanks for all the replies

 

hey everybody, i am another guy with 7720G and with a burned GPU.
i have 9500m GS. i have read all threads and i am between 9600m GT dd3 512mb and the HD radeon 3650.
which of these is the best ,about compability and reliability issues?
i want to plug and play the card without heart attacks

 

I recommend the 9600M GT. The 3650 is known to have issues with external displays.

 

I had no issues with my HD3650 either VGA or HDMI.

 

You probably had a different VBIOS then. But with a pseudo-MXM card (no true MXM BIOS is known for the 3650), the risk is always there.

 

was wondering if it's possible to convert one of the USB ports to HDMI?
Would be more convenient than having to use DVI adapter I'm thinking. Or am I showing my noobness?

 

im terrified with all these.the only thing i want its to open again my laptop.and to not stay useless in my hands..
do you know if 9600m GT has to be flashed?
if yes,i have read about black screens when the card is with the wrong bios. how can we change it and flash it, when its all black?
sorry but im newbie.

 

The 7720G needs no flashing to take a 9600M GT. You are confusing it with the 5920G.

 

hi ttomrad, i am quite happy with my system now, but i really want an Nvidia 9600gt like yours, how much did you buy yours for, the cheapest i can find on ebay is around £100, is that normal? it sounds a little high to me, what do you think
Take care

 

Phase one is almost complete with a fresh install of seven. 4 gig of ram going in tomorrow. Next up will be the black keyboard, ssd and new HD combo, Bluetooth module and almost top spec processor. For some reason win 7 looks sharper and clearer than vista did on this machine.

If I remember correctly, it was around 120 USD.

 

hello from greece everyone,what a topic!
so much knowledge concentraded here,omg!
i registered just because of this topic.
so,here is my noob question, my 7720g has inside an nvidia 9500m gs graphics card ,wich is this one ;

it died pretty quick,and i read that this happened a lot with those acer laptops.
i now decided to fix it and i think i will buy the one you all suggest ,a 9600m gt,512 mb,ddr3,i have found this one

i think it is the right one,dont you think?
also here is it's specs;



i allready bought a wrong card once (i know what you think,and yeah ,i'm pretty useless when it comes to gadgets) so i try to make sure,is this the one you are all talking about?you think it will fit with that minor mod for the heat sink and the modded drivers you are talking about?

EDIT
actually,now that i am looking closer,mine is almost identical with the 9600??
that means maybe i dont even need the heat sink mod? does that make a differnce in any other thing?

EDIT2
Omg,i read the whole thread and i see that the 9600m gt is a card that you concider that it is ALSO known to have problems ? maybe i should try to reflow my old 9500m gs first? how can i tell if a 9600m gt is pre-2009?
am i asking a hell of a lot of questions in my just first post?

 

My 9600M GT works fine without any kind of heatsink mod, no problems with cooling since I installed it. Also, I had absolutely no problems with this card, performance was flawless from the start.

 

haha another greek with a gpu problem..
i am trying to find on ebay a used or a new 9600m GT ,and i must to say thats difficult to win an auction..
otherwise i ll buy an ati's 3650 product.

 

Hi

I want to know the exact difference between:

MB.ALN02.001 and MB.AHH02.001 motherboard.


Regards,Ray

 

A little off-topic... What do you guys think, if I would want to sell this upgraded 7720G, how much could I get for it? I'm not saying that I'm selling it, it's just a thought

 

Not much more than a stock one. Mods don't matter much in used sales.
