well i have this laptop just sitting around collecting dust for like a year now, so anywho i remember i rread somewhere if you push 67 and y it will be a temprorary fix and so i did and it booted perfectly and was fine for about 5 hours then i shook it a little and flah flash freeeze :( ................

well i took it all apart wasnt at all tricky and i can see the card.

now i dont think i need a new once since its just popping out right ?

i mean i  would just like another laptop to surf and program on, i got a newer one but yea would be nice for this to work also, its like what 3 years old but its very speedy for internet stuff, things of that nature.

well i remember a guy one time using electric tape making a wedge out of it and he told me it worked for him and is still working and its been like that ofr a year, should i do something like that, then just underclock it ?

well if anyone knows anything let me know.......

btw. i did buy a plastic wedge a while back........lost it though :P a buddy sent it to me as a gift as he bought one ofr his laptop too and at that time it worked fine, pitty me

welll let me know guys, if you knwo anything.
