Alienware video card

[Bondalavin]

I have an Alienware Area51m-766 laptop that came with an Nvidia Geforce Go 5700 128MB AGP video card. The video card has burned out due to fan failure and the card is now failing. I have tried to find a vendor on Nvidias forums and by contacting the company directly from thier web form. I have yet to get any resonses from any other sources. Alienware sent me to a specific vendor that supposedly sells the replacement, but even that company told me it is no longer available. Man, a $4600 lappy that ain't worth a crappy all from a $129 video card, sheesh.

Anyway, does anyone know where I can find a vendor that carries this product replacement? TIA!

How old is the laptop? If that thing is new, send it back and get a replacement! If it's not, call up the manufacturer and ask them where to get parts from, although they probably charge ALOT for the parts, if you can even get them. If all else fails, you should be able to send the laptop in to get repaired, you'll have to pay for it, but thats better than having a worthless pile of parts that cost you over 4k.
