Hey,

I bought a sony vgn fz290 model laptop with integrated nvidia graphics card. I played a lot of games and got my video card corrupted. And the computer doesnt even turn on. Even if it turns on it doesnt display any thing on the screen. I tried to contact the sony guys to order for a new mother board but they say, in order to talk to the technical support i have to pay $ 40 because i am out of warranty.

I trying to get the info details of my mother board so that i can search for it online and i can fix it up my self.

Is there any one who can help me out with this ?

Please email me at jammula.d at gmail dot com

Thanks

Your best bet is to search eBay. Lots of third-party spare laptop part sellers there. Caveat Emptor though!

That's because SONY knows about the FZ Series Motherboards. I suffered the same problem some months ago and Sony replaced it. The Sony guy told about the motherboards in this model. He said they were all faultys and sooner or later, all the FZ goes to the Repai centre... glad you got luck your laptop.

Regards,
chris

How did you all get your motherboards replace? Sony told me I have to pay the money to get it fixed which I don't have!
