That's a good place to start

you would probably need to try doing a blind flash to make the card a gtx 280m with same default clocks as the quadro card.

does it even boot properly as in you can hear it boot.

also try removing the 4gb stick of ram and booting it. may be a system limitation

Will give this a try and let you know Squee666 could well be a limitation with the 4GB ram module as with two x 4GB the same result NO Boot etc etc .
Just hope the card is not a dud will also try cooking for ten min's if that fails also results to come............

cant see it being the ram limitation as you had 6gb ram and the old 1gig card running ok

9700m gt is 512mb

[shakennstirred]

9700m gt is 512mb

in his sig at the bottom he said its 1024mb so i went on that
and anyway if it was 512 its under what my ram total is and thats running fine.
if 1gig video ram and 6gig system ram was over mine and everyone elses wouldnt be running

Sorry guys amended signature and yes its the 512 Mb ddr3 9700M GT card which came with notebook. I have since tried to get the 3700 working but with no success the laptop just does not start with this card in am having serious doubts as to its working ability will be getting in touch with the american sales dept over it and see what they have to say.
Doing a blind flash of the bios is a last resort as this could seriously damage the card beyond my realms of fixing it.
Am wondering if there is a place in the UK where I can send it to get it tested and working for the Acer 8930G so its as all say "put it in and it works" Ha Ha Plus this is supposed to be the 1GB DDR3 model although checking all the numbers on the Nvidea chip on the card does not reveal too many answers on the net??

[GARNER_WDH]

is this the 1gb nvidia quadro for the acer aspire 8930g not seeing it in chip form makes me wonder unless in pic it showing motherboard too can anyone clarify for me thanks Original Dell Precision M6400 nVidia Quadro 1GB FX3700M Video Graphic Card D949K | eBay i also want to know update on the 1gb nvidia quadro card you bought and getting it to work on ur laptop as before video card i want to purchase the x9100 cpu and get laptop better for gaming. at moment i playing sleeping dogs on it enjoying it alot on my 512mb 9700gt but as ppl put on all vid cards suffers from stuttering all the time

OK, so I have quite a serious problem with my 8930G. Check this thread for details and what I have already done.

Right now, I'm thinking that it's one of three things: PSU (unlikely), Battery, Graphics card.

I'm hoping that I'll get some advice on what I should do here. Thank you for any help I get.
