    Hi Guys,
    I have a Sager NP5792 which i bought about 2 yrs ago when I was living in the US, but since then i've moved to Australia.

    The gfx card died about 4 months out of warranty - 8800M GTX - and I've finally gotten around to taking it to a local laptop repairer to try and get it fixed.

    Unfortunately the Repairer is unable to source the part, he's checked with his HK distributor and they can't locate it.

    Any pointers as to where if any where this part can be sourced - OR - if it's pin compatible with another card for example 8800m Gt or GTS ?
    I had heard that there wasn't a long run of 8800m GTXs manufactured, but that it had also been renamed, hence we should be trying to locate it under the new name instead.


    At this point I'd just like to get the machine up and running and get some useful life out of it as a secondary machine.

    Appreciate any responses.


    Cheers,
