    The VC in my XPS M1210 (Geforce 7400) just crapped out.

    I'm sure its the VC. The diagnostic key sequence is also for the VC.

    I was wondering where I could buy another VC. Is it built into the mobo, meaning I have to buy another mobo as well?

    I called Dell but since my warentee expired a couple months ago they won't even speak to me without paying a 40 dollar fee which is rediculous.

    Any help would be greatly apprciated.

    Email them, I haven't had problems ordering parts from them via email before.
    Also, you could check parts-people.com or eBay.

    as already said you should look at ebay..but make sure your getting the right part. I think you need to replace your mobo.
