I busted out an old D820 that used to be my dads work computer 15 years ago to play some retro PC games. I have all of the software, including a disk from Dell with all the drivers. My laptop supposedly has a NVIDIA® Quadro® NVS 120M. Under Comp Management it shows up as "Other devices" - "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)". Installing the drives from the disk, ones, from Dell's website, and drives I get from Nvidia's website all get the error when run: "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware."
Googling around naturally I don't find much discussion. I've had the laptop a part to replace the thermal paste and didn't notice anything wrong with it. Suggestions online state that the solder might have broken and the board needs reflowed.
I'd like to get this thing up and running. Otherwise it's a perfect XP laptop.
