Hi Sony Vaio People,

I have a FZ21s and well the graphics card has died tried everything. Looks like i will have to by a new Motherboard but the seem to cost alot and i am only a mere student and that is a hit i don't think i can take.

Does anyone know where i could maybe find a cheap one? and it is out of it's warrenty but was reading that Sony may fix it because it is one of the effected models hit by the Nivida Fault *shakes fist at the Nivida people

Any help is apperated

Please help

Douglas

Hi Douglas and welcome.

You can find more details of the nVidia fault and Sony's statement by going to the Support Pages for your model here: -

http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/vgn-fz21s

and under "At a Glance" -> "Hot News" you will see a link to "Distorted Video ........................."

Your model is one of the affected models but I suspect your Vaio may be older than the 4 year limit for a free repair.

Try Google for "REFLOW" to see an alternative way to go.
