    Hello,

    I Have a 2 year old P150HM with a broke ATI 6990m, so now I can only run my laptop on the bios chip. But in this mode the resolutions are a little off so everything is to stretch. Now I was wondering if there is any chance I could change the default resolutions for example to 1440x900 because my resolution now is 1400x1050 and for my school I need the have correct dimensions for Photoshop. And because money is a little short right now i wont be able to replace my video card or laptop.

    thanks in advance,

    Kuicykc

    Allow me to share my experience on this one!

    I had exactly the same problem where the card died. Then I learned about reflow technique.

    Basically, you have to remove your graphics card, put it in an oven with 200C for 15mins.

    Let it cool down then install it back in.

    At first, I did not believe it. Then I tried it and the graphics card worked for a week.

    The same problem happened, then I have baked it again for another 15mins.

    Until now 4 months with no problems. Moreover, I still game on it.
