Hi,
I've been searching this forum about the disassembly guide for the A8J notebook and the two url doesn't seem to be still valid
http://www.mediafire.com/?9utgx3g2gvy
http://www.milestonepc.com/canada/doc/A8J.pdf
I've got a database connection failed for mediafire and milestonepc doesn't seem to still have the guide ...
So if you can point me a site that got this guide or any help.....
I need it because i suspect my video card to be an nvidia defectives chips (it's a geforce 7300) so I'm looking for changing it for an ati card...if you know if it's possible (i need some advice).
I got over heating when i do some calculation or compilation it's very very frustrating (the video card rise up to 105°c when i do some calculation...not very big stuff i use to do more intensive calculation)....
The A8J is a good computer but with this over heating problem i can only crawl the web or read my mail... I cannot do any more "scientific calculation" that i love to do ( a part that I'm paid for this..)
any help would be appreciate....

Geforce 7300 was not known to be defective at all. The defective ones are the 8xxx (and 9xxx ?) versions...

The first link you provided still works. You need to click the download link in order to download the pdf file

Thank for answers....
I re-try to download the disassembly guide today and... i succeed, so it was just a temporary problem on the mediafire connection....
To answer to ramgen i have read somewhere (i can retrieve if you wish) that maybe older cards like the 7300Go could be defective....
But defective chip or not i have an overheating problem....a long program compilation (compiling the VTK library or something as long) could cause a computer shutdown and that is not acceptable.....If you know what can i do for this.... by some other fans maybe ??? or bios update... My cpu fan is clean, i regularly remove dust.....so don't really know what can i do.... -
The things that I would do for the overheating problem: (Assuming that you can open the laptop freely...)
1- Take out the heatsinks, clean them very well. If you have been using your machine for around 1-2 years without any cleaning you may find that the fins are all clogged with dust.
2- Replace the thermal grease with Arctic Silver 5.
3- The above two should have solved your problem. If not, purchase a laptop cooler that will blow cold air to the bottom of your laptop.
4- Update your BIOS. Sometimes new BIOSes will kick-in the fans earlier than the old BIOSes.
5- If that still does not solve the problem, try undervolting (or use your cpu/gpu in the power saver mode which may cause some performance degradation).
6- Still not solved? Throw out that laptop, purchase a new one that does not known to have overheating problemHope you will not reach this bullet anyways...
Good luck, That's all I know after having 5+ years of laptop experience...
