    Hi there, I have some questions regarding the graphic card replacement. My aim is to get the laptop work again without spending a huge sum on it.

    1. Is this card GTX 670M compatible with P150HM ?

    2. If yes, what do I need to know before buying this card ? And what info do I need to get from the seller ?

    3. My reseller is offering me a brand new 7970M for around $522 but they will not guarantee that it will work on P150HM nor will they help me in flashing modded inf and whatnot. Which version of 7970M that I need to tell me reseller to get ? My reseller knows absolute nothing about the card and suggested me to replace the card with the same 6990M for around $535 :mad:

    Hope someone could answer my questions. Thanks. :)

    That looks like it should work as the seller says in an answered question:
    "I originally acquired the gtx670m through a custom ordered laptop from Sager"
    I would see if you could also get the heatsinks with it.

    Hi, is it a plug and play or do I need to modify the vbios and whatnot ?

    When the 7970M first came out all Sager said was that it is supported. They did not mention anything special that needed to be done. I think updating the BIOS would be the most you would have to do.

    Maybe someone who has done so can chime in.
