Can you get access to the video card itself (may be tricky in a laptop) - could just need reseated. | |

Video card will be on the mainboard. Normally this means you're fucked i.e there is no quickfix.
Take it back to where you bought it, if its still under warrenty rather than talking pish to us here. | |
