Old D901C gpu died. How to ressurect it?

Hello,

I think the gpu on my D901C dies. It gave me a blue screen and then it started to put horizontal lines to the screen and if I try to install the nvidia driver it crashes.
I would like to buy a new or second hand gpu, but the ones on ebay which are MXM 2.1 I,II,III, or IV are coming from different laptops like asus an HP. If I buy one od those will it work in my D901C or is it required a vBIOS flash?

I also noticed that some ATI cards can physically fit. Does anyone know if it is possible to use one of those, they tend to be cheaper.

I am not interested in performance on this laptop, but rather being able to use longer for browsing and skype.

Thanks

 

im no expert but some of them cards might not work.

have you thought about the baking method The Oven Trick (repairing your broken video card with an oven) | Overclockers

 

Hello,
