    Have you tried a driver update/reinstall to eliminate any software issues?

    I'd say you'd have to get on the suppliers to see what replacements are compatible. Might be a small enough selection.

    Quick google shows it's based on the Clevo P150SM chassis, so just for a part for that on ebay or wherever. The funny thing is that the other day OCUK had that exact chassis in B-grade for £80 (the entire laptop minus cpu, ram and hard drive)! Gone now though. Buying a replacement card will set you back a couple of hundred unfortunately.
