Graphics replace

Postby Shadowcek » Fri Jun 18, 2010 1:47 pm

Hey everyone, my friends laptop graphics ceased to work. He has got the XI 2528 with 8600 graphics inside. I read throught the net its a common issue but I was unable to get the replacement graphics card with the exception of radeons HD2300/HD2400 on ebay with acceptable prize. The thing is, will I be able to replace 8600 with HD 2400? If so, will I need to flash laptops bios to some other? Thx a lot in advance and have a nice day ppl

The Xi 2528 uses MXM, so a replacement card has to be a MXM card, too. But unfortunately it's not that easy, there are different MXM types, the cooling system is not standardized and there may be problems with the BIOS.
Probably someone in this forum can help you better:
