Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Cooling Fan is inoperative.  Receiving 90b error message.

 

I plan to order a replacement fan, but need to determine which part number to order.  Per the Manual:

 

  1.  P/N 666527-001  (For use with computer models equipped with an AMD processor and a graphics subsystem with discrete memory)
  2. P/N 666526-001  (For use with computer models equipped with an AMD processor and a graphics subsystem with UMA memory)

How do I tell if my laptop uses UMA or discrete memory? 

 

The laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 Series graphics chip.  I understand that it has 512 MB of GDDR3 memory on the card.

 

From this I assume that this system is considered to have discrete memory and therefore I should replace the fan with part number  666527-001.

 

Please confirm the use of this part number or advise otherwise.  Thank you.

Use device manager and check "Display Adapters" post what is in there please.

 

UMA is on board graphics (on the motherboard)

 

Discrete is an Add in Video card.
