    Hi. I too am having problems with my NEC Versa M400 Sound Card. Before it used to work but not totally dead unless I use headphones.

    Brainwash, did you find any solution?

    Hi. I have a Versa M400 that I bought in Indonesia. After about 1 year I lost the sound thru the speakers. I took it to a dealer and suggested there was a common problem with these M400's and asked for extended warranty. They agreed and repaired my notebook only charging me a nominal labour charge. A new sound card was installed.
