Thread Starter 

Hi,I got amilo pi 1536 with gpu ati  x1400 but suddenly it stoped working. So i bought ati x1600. Even if it suits perfect in the motherboard it isnt recognized from the system. I think if i will upgrade the bios to alienware versions it will recognized. What version of alienware i have to put in my laptop. 1.19, 2,07, 2.03,2.06 etc. Thanks

thnks a lot.when u are saying to keep back up the previous bios you mean to have the installation cd of the previouos bios?. if not how i do it? There is not  any case the bios would be completely destroyed if i would install a wrong version of bios so i would not be able to install any bios at all .thnks a lot fro ur patiencee

BIOS update utility should offer the option of making a back up before proceeding with updating

So windows is loaded but the card can't be recognized? Or it doesn't load at all?

The only thing I can think of is the compatibility issue between the x1400 and the x1600 on this Amilo board, providing that the X1600 replacement is in working condition.

X1600:

- http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-X1600.2163.0.html

- http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/ati-mobility-hd-x1000/x1600/Pages/x1600-specs.aspx

X1400:

- http://www.notebookcheck.net/ATI-Mobility-Radeon-X1400.2165.0.html

- http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/ati-mobility-hd-x1000/x1400/Pages/x1400-specs.aspx

Mainly in the pipeline and memory type support. Ii could not find any references from different Fujitsu Amilo forums on this sad.gif

cheers ...

can't say for sure, they both are Type II I believe. Still, the MXM type is pretty much depending on the manufacturers requirement for their boards. You need to verify your current X1400 card and the Amilo board specification
