    Have you tried calling Alienware? They may have the part, just not on their website. Call their support, see if they have a solution. They'll help, even if it's not under warranty. But you may run into an issue of it being more expensive to repair the machine than it is to buy a new one.

    If Alienware doesn't have it, then check on eBay. Finding the card may be very difficult.

    Black friday is coming up, so if you really need a cheap machine then take a look at the sales.

    I already called them but they didn't manufacture that kind of video card again. I also tried ebay but I only saw a broken video card too.
    Maybe
    I'll sell it as is.
    and I also tried google but found nothing.
    How unlucky I am. :( :( :(

    Yeah, that's an old card. It'll be pretty hard to find one. Sorry for your luck.
