But once you get a new adapter the replacement isn't difficult. You have to remove quite some parts to get to the adapter, though. Good luck with it. That’s unfortunate.

You're the second person online that I've found has had a faulty GeForce Go 6800 Ultra. I was in the middle of a normal gaming session when it happened and now it won't boot into the O/S and even the post screen looks glitchy. I'm pretty scared as I'm working in the Middle East currently and am out of warranty. Dell's service here isn't primary, so I have to go through a local service department and everything takes ages to be accomplished here. I'm so sad my baby is out for the count and hope things get resolved in even 5x the time you had to wait. :( I assume the video card is easily replacable though...? As in it's not a difficult part to take out and put in? Hey, the exact same thing just happened to me yesterday.
