    Gateway MX8711 Laptop

    Ok guys... I have 2 things to ask:
    1. Is there a higher level bios because I can't fucking change my shared video ram on this laptop!

    2. Can you repair scratches like this:

    Without replacing the whole damn laptop?

    Do you use Vista?

    If so here's the link to the newest Bios for that laptop:

    Bleh, scratches happen. It's only cosmetic... so use some car scratch remover since the chassis is most likely silver paint over plastic.

    About the only time you should be worried about scratches on a laptop is when it's the lcd scratched up.
