possible to upgrade a laptops graphics card?

I mean, i'm no expert or shit but is it possible for a non-IT-wizz-kid to do this or do i need to take it to a shop?

 

[Mephz]

take it to a shop, laptops aren't easy.

It is possible to replace graphics cards on laptops. I had mine upgraded by a computer techy friend. Works fine. Watched him as he did it. No way I could have done it myself. Take it to an expert imo

No, they are super phaser welded in with trilithium crystals. Only Scotty can remove them, and he never has enough powaaahh!!

Sell your laptop, add a few hundred quid and buy a better one. Oddly enough it generally works out about the same in cost

Its brand new Fucking ATI Radeon 200M is a bag is wank though. Whatever intergrated shit you get its always going to be a bag of wank though, right?

 

[Nate]

Oh, so it's not fit for use. Could probably return it then, buy a better one instead ;o

Theres nothing wrong with it, it runs most games ok. I just want a better graphics card in it.

Would the warranty cover upgrades?

 

[Nate]

Yeah but not fit for use, is a acceptable reason for return. It doesn't do what you want it to do, so you can return it.

No on the warranty, upon first skimmage I thought the problem was the graphics card wasn't working.

Will you come with me and hold my hand? I don't know what to say

 

[Nate]

You can take FH with you and I will talk to them through PM's! Might be worth ringing em up and see what they say.

Yeah i'll give them a ring. Thanks!

 

[noaim]

I dont think you can upgrade it if it has a built in graphics card on the mobo, which I think the 200M is. Can always try though.

 

[Chronictank]

If your lucky it will have a slot for a gfx card, but a 200M is indeed an onboard one

Just sell it, read up on the specs, put in your local ad-mag at a jacked up price and blag their head.

Works for me.

Sold quite a few components used at higher than retail price, im a git but it got me a better PC at the expense of some idiots.

 

[Rubric]

I brought a laptop once for £1300 pound regretted it and vowed never to buy another one and stick with desktops in future.

Anyway had this new laptop 6 months now and kick myself everyday.

 

[Nate]

You mug sharma, thats well outers!
