    Hello everyone,
    Does anyone know is it possible to upgrade a non 3d g73sw to 3d by replacing with 3d screen? will the connectors fit on it? because my G73jh doesnt seem to get fixed cause I have to buy an asus vga card which is more than 200$ . so I ended up buying g73sw motherboard and gtx 460m vga together. I have paid for it now but I dunno when it will arrive.
    so i need to sell all my stuff in nbr selling and trade section but I cant until Feb 22nd because I recently joined nbr. things up for sale will be motherboard , cpu ,vga ( sorry for posting it here) but I need to sell it to buy a sandybridge processor for my SW.
    btw: will g73sw motherboard fit on my Jh case or do I need to replace it?
    and can anyone tell what are the parts that I should buy that is not in Jh.

    So you bought a g73sw mobo and vga without really knowing if it will fit?
    Chances are it won't, and the VGA heatsink is definitely not compatible.

    This question has been asked before but I have never seen it answered definitively. You would need a 3d emitter for the glasses and I haven't ever seen it retrofitted successfully, even an external USB one.

    lol, but it will fit in just now saw some pictures of it, but the problem is with palmrest, and that guy is including both the heatsinks. :D :D :D :D :D
    but i need to sell my otherparts to buy me a sandybridge processor. I have many advantages with this sw version main reason it supports sata 3 , and I bought both for 430$. :(

    ahah but lol a guy in ebay told me that he had a normal g73sw but he upgraded it to 3d version by replacing the screen, lol :confused: :confused: , I guess he missed something.
