Black screen it has a built in video card. Maybe if I added an upgrade video card?

Be certain you disabled the driver for the built in video card

• When I turned on my Sony VGC-LT23E, it's beeping 1 long beep and 2 short beeps, is there the Video Card issues. The screen total black. Should I replace entire motherboard? Please help,

The video card on a laptop is built-in on the motherboard and cannot be swapped to another video card.
You maybe able to increase the video RAM in the BIOS video settings BUT it will reduce your main memory by the corresponding amount because the video uses shared RAM.

The video card (built-in on the motherboard) maybe faulty or the LCD screen is faulty.
Connect an external monitor to the video port of your laptop, power up the monitor first then boot up your laptop. If the video card id OK then the laptop will automatically divert the video to the external monitor. Then the problem is a faulty LCD screen.
If the external monitor also displays black vertical lines then you have a faulty video card and since it is part of the motherboard it is impossible to fix.

hi my name is rui. i suggest you bring to a service center if you dont know how to fix it maybe the built video card of your notebook is broken or maybe the LCD its hard to determine the cause of the black screen if we cant see it in person. question though does your notebook starts up or not?

I have played Warcraft an have had the same problems before i upgraded my video card,

Normal it goes black or freezes do to the video card not having enough memory to process the request.

I would suggest turning down your settings in game or upgrading your video card.

try upgrading the soft ware for your video card also if that doesn't help you may need to buy a different video card.

I'm sorry to advise you, your Dell is a laptop and laptops have a built-in video chip on the motherboard and it cannot be upgraded or changed.
The video card used shared RAM, ie it uses part of the main RAM module/s, You maybe be able to increase the video RAM size in the BIOS, but this will reduce the main memory, so you might want to upgrade the RAM in the DELL.
You only other alternative is to buy a later model laptop.

Boot in safe mode if you can. Then select system restore to the time your system is still in good operating state before installing pinnacle.

And for additional input I think you have to upgrade your video card if you are using a built in video card.
I think this is a video card problem. It cannot handle the pinnacle 12.

I don't believe it is possible with this particular laptop. I know in the past some of the dell laptops have had a Microagp graphics platform that can be upgraded.

Most laptops have the graphics built into the motherboard which makes them impossible to upgrade.

There used to be some PCMCIA video cars that you could use but they were more for using additional monitors than for high powered graphics. I believe there have been some mention of USB video cards but again I think these are just for adding more desktop real estate than for replacing existing built in graphics.

So to answer your question specifically, no I don't think there is an upgradeable option for your particular needs.

Hope this helps.
