i recently bought a t6520 from an auction . it worked for a while then the monitor started playing up .. i took it to a computer shop and they told me the onboard graphics chip was usless .. i inserted a seperate graphics card in the computer but still get nothing on the screen when i start the computer .. any ideas plaese
My E6520 crashed due to a voltage change, I had to reboot the whole system.
Now none of the six USB sockets are working, neither is the Install wizard, a phone that previously lit uo when in use is now dead.
Any pointers really appreciated.
thanks - Dave

You need to enter the BIOS setup when you boot the computer. Usualy, you use the Del key, but it may be another one. Check the POST text, near the bottom left of the screen.
From there, you need to disable the onboard graphics and allow the use of the real graphic card that you added.
You should also set the reserved video memory to zero as it will no longer be needed.
You also must connect the monitor to the graphic card connector, not the one from the motherboard.
