Calling all laptop computer techs

Heat is the killer of most laptops as the won't stand running for long extended periods of time use a cooling mat will save the laptop instead of having to go to a desktop computer! '74 Sport the two processors are pretty compatable but i dont think thats where your problem lies. Plug an external monitor into the laptop to see if you regain graphics and be able to troubleshoot it further. A person at a call center help line running a few scripted tests wont fix this problem, you want on onsite tech. Stay away from dell i have seen many go in a year and when talking to their warrenty people when i dealt with that stuff, that replacement warranty parts were not gauranteed to be new parts. Not the service i would want for my money!
