    Thank you for your assistance and for your reply. I purchased another motherboard and the former one has been replaced (as per the steps in the Service Manual that you referenced). I regret the ordeal, and I regret that the new motherboard has the Intel Management Engine (ME) enabled. The Service Tag is (naturally) different, which is also unfortunate.

    I also regret that the piece of plastic that comprised a portion of the connector on the old motherboard had fallen off during replacement; however, not one of the pins is affected. I am still hoping to have it repaired at some point in time.

    Hello guys, I'm kinda new here. Been using Dell Precision M4600 for almost 7years plus now but this night, video card caved in.
    My configuration is:

    Core i5 2520m
    AMD Firepro M5950
    8GB Ram
    Windows 10

    I will be glad if any can be of assistance cuz I'm thinking of changing the card and I don't know where to begin or which card to go for.

    Regards.

    m5100 is the best card you can use in that laptop.

    Specs is fine just make sure it's an AMD card for Dell and no the hp variant.

    ive tried ODE and NFY quadro drivers. seems like NFY are faster.
    are there any modified better performance drivers for quadro 2000M.?
    downloaded from nvidia website. are there newer ones.? cause WU updates drivers it self.

    Quadro 2000M is a Fermi card and Fermi has been EOL for a couple of years now; newer NVIDIA drivers do not support that card. They did security updates only for the last year and ended that in January 2018. What you see on NVIDIA's site will be the newest ones that you can find (377.83), there will not be any further releases.
