    Hello everyone.

    this is a call for any sort of assistance on how to install a video card in a Sager 9262 (D901C).

    Background History:
    Purchased the laptop with dual SLI 8800M GTX. However due to heat issues both of the cards have died. I have purchased a replacement single 9800M GT. I understand they are basically the same piece of hardware.

    1) Do i need to flash the bios of my laptop?

    2) Which two pieces of hardware inside the opened laptop are the videocards? If possible I would greatly appreciate pictures.

    3) Which screws do I remove to detach the heat sink?

    4) Which screws do I remove to detach the old 8800M GTX's?

    5) I understand that one slot is the "primary video card" slot which a user is to use if only 1 video card is present. Could I please have verification on which slot that may be?

    Again I really thank those that reply and would love to see some pictures because I am a novice at dealing with laptop hardware.

    Thank you sir.

    I will read and hopefully I can perform this change successfully. The guides don't make it sound too bad.
