NP 3880 Problems

Hi, I owned my 3880 for probably less than a year now and I have some issues with it.

1- I purchased a PCMIA TV Tuner card and installed it on the laptop and stuff like that, when I hook up the ps2 to the card. The video thats being sent from the ps2 to the laptop screen is a funky (funky as in lines are going across, picture is barely visable, and everything is blurry). When I connected it to my sisters dell laptop, it worked fine. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

2- I tried updating the video card driver on the 3880, but then it always says that my video card is not the same as the driver downloaded..... I tried downloading it straight from Sager and from Nvidia (assuming that I have a Nvidia GeForce Go 6600, also is listed under the Device Manager area). Whenever I play Battlefield, in the beginning message it always says please update your video card.

3- Is there anyway to disable the front 3 buttons from working?

Thanks in advance if you all can help me out on these questions. !!!!

1- is that the AVerTV Cardbus? I purchased one of those when I got my 3880 and had problems with the video, lines I think too. But erh no I don't know how to fix it; I ended up just sending it back after contacting the manufacture- maybe the graphics card driver needed to be updated (I didn't know about laptopvideo2go), even disabling the camera didn't work- which is what I thought it was.

2- to update the graphics driver I think/know you need to go over to http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ and look around for one you want. Try searching on the forum for which one you may want. The packages they have include a ini file that lets you install new drivers.

3- not a clue.

So you're not only on the PCMIA tuner card thing and you know where to get the drivers, I think that maybe deserving of a few of worshipers.

[No spell check right now]

Thanks alot for your help. Nah mine is the SmartTV tv tuner card. I "upgraded" the video card drivers from laptopvideo2go website, and tried re-installing the tv tuner card and stuff like that. Still no luck.

Try getting a BIOS update and see if that solves the problem. Just email sager and say you need BIOS update for 3880.

Thread resurrection. THe latest bios update (I believe March 2006) fixed my PCMCIA Audigy 2 ZS crackling because the PCMCIA adapter wasn't giving them enough bandwidth. The bios update fixes this issue and so it should fix your TV Tuner.

Hmmm, where can I get the latest bios update again? Because I emailed Sager a bunch of times and they didn't send back a reply or no word was sent from them.. Thanks for the help

give them a phone call first about your issue. It seems to me i had no problem getting it when i made a phone call. Provide some pictures to them. I took pictures of my screen. I sent them it and within 24 hours i got a new bios update.

Be sure to include the serial number of your Sager unit and also your email address.
