    Finally done the blind bios flash, an found that i still have no video so the culprite to my problem is the video card has gone, which i was told was in full working order (no wonder Planet Micro have gone bust with info like that).
    so now my next job is to find 1 in which i have email rjtech, ztronics and eurocom. to see if they have 1 for sale. If anybody has 1 left ofer from an upgrade please let me know i need an ATI X800 or NVIDIA GFORCE GO 6800/ULTRA. Any idea what the prices are like from rjtech,ztronics,eurocom?

    i got a refurbished one that i can sell you, a 6800 GO GDDR3. my d900t died about a year ago and i sent to sager and they sent the gpu to be refurbished so it is like a new gpu. it came with a beefier fan compared to it's original. ironically the motherboard died the same day i got the system back from sager and i had enough with repairing the laptop so i learned my lesson and ordered a fully loaded d900c with 3 year warranty.

    $250 dollars plus international shipping. it is refurbished as new condition. thats almost half the price if you were to purchase from a vendor. you might want to consider sending in your gpu for repair if there is anyone in europe that you can send it to, i guess.
