    Guys - I ran the diagnostics on my black-screen Toshiba Satellite X205 SLI2 and it seems that I need a new NVIDIA Dual GeForce 8600M GT. Any idea where I could get a good deal on this?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Is this an X2 version of the 8600M GT GPU? Or are they separate? If they are separate, then it's possible that you could upgrade. Many Toshiba laptops do not permit the removal of a GPU, as they are often soldered onto the motherboard. Not to mention that you would void your warranty a million times in the process.

    Once again, I don't believe you can change the graphics card on your Toshiba.
