    Gateway refuses to help me get a replacement video card unless I provide them with a valid nx850 serial number. Anyone have one? Should be one taht shipped with a geforce 6800 go video card.

    "Thank you for your reply. If you can be able to provide us the correct
    serial number for the defective Laptop we can redirect you to our
    Corporate Office."

    Really? A lot fo the people ordering the 7800 from the refurb store had to provide a XPS2 serial number.

    Sounds like the same deal to me.

    Gateway's not in business to sell parts like mxm video cards for aftermarket support. They have access to some for warranty and basic repairs...but they aren't planning on selling aftermarket parts. Outside of some RAM modules, many manufacturers operate like this.

    Seems perfectly reasonable to me.
