You have a release of an early financial statement or something? Where the hell could you possible know the rate at which their 280's are selling when they've been out maybe a month.

I HIGHLY doubt this time around given a mid ranged price competitor that is pretty close to the 280 for half the price. A similar product didn't exist with the 8800 series's release or not even soon there after.

I'm marking this as a win for common sense over some random dude spouting BS on the internet again unless you have something to back all that up. ]]>Jul 2nd 2008 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 3rd 2008 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/

Portal just doesn't work unless I force it to run in the background by clicking on the taskbar while the game's loading. I'm presuming that's the card itself anyway. I haven't had any epic flails yet, and current drivers have the card running okay, but I'm sure I should be getting higher framerates than this.]]>Jul 3rd 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 3rd 2008 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 3rd 2008 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 3rd 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 2nd 2008 11:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/

That would be the 9 series, yours is the 6 series.
So this is unrelated to your situation.]]>Jul 2nd 2008 11:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/

Oh yeah, from TFA: "It didn't say specifically which of its products were affected."]]>Jul 3rd 2008 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 3rd 2008 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 3rd 2008 12:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/
True, I guess I just assumed that previous would imply the one directly before the latest.]]>Jul 3rd 2008 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/Jul 3rd 2008 12:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/
The difference between the DV6000 and DV9000 isn't the time of it's release, it's size. They were both released at about the same exact time. The DV6000 is a 15.4" model and the DV9000 is the 17" model.

I agree with KeegdnaB and Jeff regarding the HP DV series. I was told by an HP "case manager" that HP has a sort of "internal recall" regarding the DV2000 (14.1"), DV6000 (15.4"), and DV9000 (17") series laptops that are Nvidia based. I have had to send in 8 of these over the last several months already for repair/replacement (all with the Nvidia 6150 chipset). Most issues were due to overheating and/or the wifi becoming unrecognizable, even after a module replacement. They will even do the repairs out-of-warranty.

So Nilay, there's a definite answer for one of the affected chipsets I think.]]>Jul 3rd 2008 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/nvidia-says-significant-quantities-of-laptop-gpus-are-defectiv/

This particular model has both the nvidia 6150go and the nforce4 MCP (both of which are potentially affected by this notice) I wish they'd just get on about it and tell us which of their products are ticking time bombs.

My 7600 failed, after 15 months, burnt out. I had to wait a month to get it back because so many failed around that time, that there were big supply issues.

So I guess the 7600 is affected.
