Attention Gamers!
I need to replace the graphics card for my five year old PC gaming laptop (MSI GT72s Dominator Pro G-220). I am quite happy with this laptop and really don't want to replace it if I can just fix the graphics card. The GPU I need is a nVidia GeForce GTX980m GDDR5 mxm. These cards don't seem readily available. I've already ordered one through Amazon which shipped from China. It proved defective and was Dead On Arrival. I plan to return it to Amazon but do not trust this vendor for another try.
Can any FGM member recommend either:
1) A reliable source (preferably North American based) from which I could purchase a new nVidia GeForce GTX980m mxm GPU?
I've been burned once already and appreciate whatever help you guys might lend to keep me from being burned again. Thanks all!

or
2) The name and model for a comparable newer GPU which could replace this nVidia GTX980m and is compatible with the MSI GT72s Dominator Pro G-220?I've been burned once already and appreciate whatever help you guys might lend to keep me from being burned again. Thanks all!
