    Hi,

    I have an old version of the M15X, bought in Oct. 2008. I have changed the GPU once, like a year and a half ago, and just two days ago when i turned my laptop on my monitor will not come up so i changed to integrated graphics, the monitor does come on.

    So i started researching and i found this software named Belarc Advisor to check if my GPU was still showing up, it didn't. I tried reseting the GPU by opening the laptop and resitting it. It won't show up neither.

    I guess it died? What do you think?

    I'm getting a new laptop but i want to know if i can save this one to use it as a desktop at home.

    The M15x you are talking about I assume is the pre-Dell version in which case this isn't the correct section to ask. We have little experience with this one, best to head over to the legacy section and ask.
