    Hi , I need som help guys.
    I have acer aspire 5920g with currently nvidia 8600GT inside.
    I have bought Nvidia Geforce GT 120M 1GB MXM II ! When I put this card inside, i get only black screen. Where is the problem? is there any chance at all, that I could make it work? i would appreciate if you could let me know or help me out.
    This card was working on Asus K61IC.

    Graphic card:

    NVIDIA N10P GV1 Video Card, NVIDIA geforce GT 120M 1GB

    link:

    For Asus K51IO K70IO GT 120m 1GB VGA Board 60 NVPVG1000 A01 NVIDIA N10P GV1 | eBay

    for ASUS ASUS N51 X66I X66W X66IC K61IC K51IO K70IC K51AB K70AB

    What can we do? thanx

    I have updated upgrade bios with file 5920G_MXM_V3.WPH, but there is no picture on monitor, but laptop is working...
    if I put old graphic card inside, than acer works fine...

    Yeah, Asus cards are generally shaped different or have different drivers.
    Just revert to your original card and move on, you can show off the card to your friends and stuff :cool:
