I suspect that the graphics card in my LT has failed. Started to get occasional flickering of the display and now there is no display at all – completely dead screen. I can hear the HD run on start up and if I insert a disc I can hear that run and the indicator lights flash as usual.
Can anyone advise:

Whether there are any checks I can do to verify my suspicions?
Are graphics cards specific to the make and model of the laptop or can I just go and buy any graphics card?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated
