Hi all.

I'm new here and like others my GT8600 from my Compal IFL90 stopped working..

Already baked it but thats only a temporary solution so I'm thinking on buying a HD3650 256mb ddr3 mxm II for it.

Do you guys know where I can buy one that will work with this laptop?

THere are several in ebay but most of them say for ACER and are preoloaded with ACER vbios.. does this represent an issue, or I'll be able to make it to work by changing its vbios?

I know that the heatsink needs changes but regarding the bios and or vbios, will there be any issue or I can buy any HD3650 MXM II that will certainly work with the COmpal?

Thanks in advance!

Now, I am not sure as far as how to go about to make this replacement card work for Compal

Good luck and hoping that a Compal user can confirm the yay or nay for you to be sure. Should you decide to be the pioneer, please share with us the result.

I have the answer! :p

 

HD3650 MXM II 512mb ddr2 is the best option, the 256mb ddr3 tends to give problems.

Best model to buy is the .003.

 

No need to install vbios. The gpu's from ACER work without problems (most of them).

 

Cheers to all, hope I could help somebody with this information.
