The Nvidia Defect Forum

Defective Nvidia? - Faulty Nvidia? - HP Laptop problems? - HP Laptop black screen? - HP Laptop hot/overheating? - HP Laptop lost wireless - HP can't detect wireless card?

Are you suffering any of the above problems with your laptop?

Even if your laptop is not a HP do your recognise one of these faults?

If so then STOP!!! Don't pay for that laptop repair. Your laptop probably contains one of the defective Nvidia chips and you could claim for a refund/replacement from the retailer where you purchased it.

All the help and advice on this site is free.

Should the retailer request that you obtain an independent engineers report on your laptop then we can help with that also.

Pop in and introduce yourself to the forum members.

Please let us know which laptop you have and, if possible, the model of Nvidia card.

If you don't know which version of the defective Nvidia card then no problems, we will find that out for you.

Please, as with all the sections on this forum, no libellous comments or your post will have to be removed for legal reasons.

So, don't be shy, come on in, we are here to help.

If you are wondering why we have to edit/remove libellous posts then please refer to the following case of Godfrey Vs Demon Internet Service:-

Please, no advertisements or your post will be removed.

So what is the Nvidia defect and how can I learn more?

Can I really get a replacement laptop or my money back even though my laptop is out of the warranty period?

The answer is YES!

Do you need some evidence to support a Small Claims procedure against a retailer?

This section contains links to external sites containing documentary evidence to support your claim in the Small Claims Court (should it
come to that)

Here you will find a couple of useful programs to test your laptop.

The first, GPU-Z will report the temperature of your Nvidia GPU.

The other, Rthdribl, is a program that will stress test your Nvidia GPU (if it is still working)

There is also a copy of the template "letter before action" that you can download to send to the retailer.

Did you pay by Credit Card? If so, there are a couple of template letters available that you can send to the card company.
