    :(

    My beautiful NP5793 died on me, the GPU is no longer working.

    Is it possible to buy another GPU for it and replace it? I was under the impression that changing the GPU in the NP597x series is actually possible, or am I wrong? I had a 8800M Gtx in it.

    If that is not possible I'm assuming I'll have to give Sager a call and hope they don't charge to much :rolleyes:

    yes, you can easily take out the videocard and put in another one. Many owners of these Clevo's have done it.

    what happened to the previous videocard.... overheating damage?

    I think it was due to overheating damage. I'd be playing games and the screen would go black and never come back, and would always have to hard-shutdown to get it working again.

    Do you have any idea where to buy a GPU? Finding mobile cards is challenging.

    Gophn, I just checked out your site for the first time and it is really cool. I'll have to keep an eye on it!

    most Clevo vendors (in Clevo Guide) will be able to sell you a videocard module.

    start with your vendor first... contact them.

    Then theres:
    - www.rjtech.com
    - www.eurocom.com
