I have a blown HDMI port on a Dell 560 Inspiron. With onboard Intel GMA X4500 vid chipset. Any chance I can deactivate onboard vid and use this card?

Should be able to deactivate the onboard video (after you install the card) via the setup on the BIOS during startup - switch from Auto to video card and finish startup - hope this helps.

Yes I plugged it in and everything has worked great since then.I confirmed this is with what I needed from Dell first.hoped this helped you,CHIP

I don't know, I threw my cable away because it shorted out my last lap top, which may have been my fault. I used the HDMI hook-up on my then lap top and used the VGA hook up to my TV and it killed my lap top, which would have been more to fix it then buying a new one. I do know, that HDMI is an output always.

In short no - The chip has built in video. At least the LGA1155 socket MB's, I've seen have either a VGA or DVI or HDMI socket built in. No graphics card needed.

No, you can use the onboard HDMI interface. I use a video card because some applications and games require it, for for "normal" desktop use, the onboard GPU in the i7-3770k worked very well.

I carried out a survey of Express Cards about a year ago and as a result purchased one with two USB 3.0 ports and the other with two eSATA ports and am very pleased with both but I never came across an Express Card with video capabilities. I believe EVGA sold and may still sell an USB 2.0 video adaptor so if you have a laptop with a dodgy video card and don't use it for gaming this may work for you.

because this card has a DMS-59 port you will need an adapter, but it can convert in to two VGA or DVI connections. I don't know how the card will work with other video cards.

Do you have video card or onboard video support? Are you plugged into the right component? I think if you have onboard video, it has to be disabled in BIOS before you can plug in your video card and vice versa but I could be wrong as I haven't had this issue. Like others said, it could be mobo related... Just hard to imagine even after a flash that the mobo went bad if you can still get in to BIOS... What mobo are you using?

I plugged it into my Dell Laptop using the supplied cable (this means yes to VGA) - no problem at all, great, bright display. That's what I wanted, I never counted the other ports, suggest you read the specs.

not without a video card. the guy at geek squad told me not to waste my money (which was too late). Apparently it's a very complicated (and spendy) project to install a video card onto the new laptops. I ended up buying a new monitor that had both VGA and HDMI ports and gave my one-year old VGA port-only monitor to my mom.

I do not have a Dell pc, so I do not know what slots may be installed, and the card I have is installed, in service, and not available to me at the moment. The card has, to the best of my memory, a standard pci interface, not one of the newer pci-express interfaces. Hope this helps.

I've actually got this PC (and am looking to buy another as it's a pretty good PC) and fortunately, the HD 2500 does allow dual monitor output, but UNfortunately, the HD 2500 integrated graphics does a poor job of it. It's a known issue (discussed on Intel's website as well), that at times, your computer won't recognize the HDMI output, requiring you to physically unplug the HDMI from the PC and plug it back in to make it realize it's actually there. My solution to this was a cheapo graphics card (GT 630 ~$60). But to be "broken" out of the box, that just speaks poorly on Intel.

Please visit Dell website for owner's manual.HDMI input, I doubt it, don't think I've ever seen it.HDMI output, I tried it but it will NOT support my hi res monitors and was a huge disappointment HOWEVER the NVIDIA graphics card video outputs work GREAT! Much higher capacity than the HDMI (which was built into the motherboard).

So sorry... my bad - the Dell does have a HDMI port and I use it for my HD mointor. I looked at the wrong PC.

I suppose. I am no computer hardware expert. I simply made sure that the Bus Socket was a very early PCI connector. By that I mean that my computer is a 'no name' build it yourself from Tiger Direct that has to be over 18 years old running XP. I keep it because it is not on the internet and it runs the music editing software that I have. I upgraded the video card because I upgraded the broken monitor with a Monitor/720p TV combo and saw how the resolution suffered with the original video card. I took a chance on a small investment and it paid out with clean, sharp graphics and a TV in the guest bedroom to boot. I suppose. I am no computer hardware expert.

I have the same issue with my onboard HDMI, it only passes 2 ch sound through the cable, hd sound requires an optic cable. According to toms hardware 5770 (and for that matter I believe all 5xxx) cards pass both HD audio and video. I double checked also on a forum and this was confermed.

I would try switching to a different Monitor, if that does not do it then reseat the card. Take out the video card and blow out the PCIE slot and put card back in.And after all the above and it still does not work then the video card needs to be sent back for exchange or repair.
