    Ok...
    So recently my computer, dv9500 NoteBook, has had a pretty bad video error... I'll turn on my computer, things will proceed regularly, but after most of the fans start up a long beep, then 2 short ones are heard. I read in another thred ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=158043) of this problem, and a link posted ( http://bioscentral.com/beepcodes/compaqbeep.htm) recommends re-seating the Video Adapter, the trouble is I have no idea where to find this in my computer or how to re-seat it. I would REALLY like to not have to send my computer in for maintinence if it is something as simple as adjusting a piece of internal hardware, but I need to know what I am doing.

    Help appreciated.
