After trying to fix it for the last 4 hours, I have discovered the graphics card in my laptop is most likely buggered.

It's an Asus Z92T and the graphics card is a Geforce Go 7600 256 MB.

Can anyone recommend a computer repair shop on the island I can take it to and that would be able top fix it quickly?

Any other help much appreciated!

You're probably going to need a whole new motherboard, because although the chipset may have been manufactured by Geoforce, it will be permanantly soldered to th motherboard in a laptop instead of being a removable card as in a desktop PC.

I had this exact problem with a Compaq laptop some time ago... wasn't enough change left from 10000 Bt to buy a cup of coffee.

If you want a fast repair- you will probably have to find an Asus service center. Any third party / private computer shop is going to have to get the part from Asus, and that will only cause delay.

You know you're pushing the overclocking limit when you can iron your shirt with it...

Naka.

Thank you - I will call them now.

The laptop just crashed while I was playing a game and the graphics are corrupted from when you first turn it in, before the OS even reloads. I upgraded the bios, multiple reformats and OS reinstalls, graphics card driver updates, etc. It must be hardware.

Pretty pissed off with Asus, it's less than a year old. No overclocks or anything like that.

Should be a warranty claim if it is less than a year old...? I believe that Asus has actually been offering two year warranties for a long time.

Yup it has a 2 year warranty, it's more just the inconvenience factor.

I have dropped it off at an Asus agent in Phuket Town and it should take 2 weeks - hopefully before Christmas. Although I know this is Thailand...

Pretty good process thus far, I thought I might have to ship it off to BKK myself!

Apart from inability to access personal archives, files etc, Cyber Cafés are usually no more than 20 Baht per hour.

I use them when travelling, but come prepared with 4 gig memory stick thingie...........lol

Hope ya get it back asap, I would be having withdrawal syptoms....... PMPL

Just rang them for an update and apparently I need to wait 3 more weeks from now for a new LCD screen for the laptop to arrive.

Strange, considering the image on both the laptop display and external monitor I was using was buggered, and I am fairly certain the problem is to do with the video card or motherboard and not the LCD.

I'm actually quite worried now they will install the new LCD in 3 weeks and realize the problem isn't fixed, then need to order a new video card or something.

Either way, I will be one month without a laptop, or roughly 10% of the entire time I have owned it. Asus can expect an email from me, pretty unacceptable.
