PC Problem...

[Killa-Eyez]

Laptops have replaceable videocards? I think only some older Alienware or other highend laptops had that option. Most laptops have videocards integrated into the mainboard, which means you have to replace the entire mainboard to replace the videocard.

The NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS GPU is located on a removable card on the mainboard. All connectors (Analog VGA, S-VHS, HDMI) are located on the mainboard.

Letter "D" shows the MXM module.

If the laptop is already 4-5 years old, you better buy a new one. Even if you somehow fix the video card, something else will break soon. It'll be an endless cycle of repairing, very quickly more expensive than getting an entirely new one.

What is the life expectancy of the average laptop?

Another tip: don't buy Acer. They are poor quality. Also stay away from HP laptops.

Best bets: Asus, Toshiba.

Kinda already knew that, the Acer was for a cheap price back then, wasn't even planning on getting one.

Edit: I've seen MXM graphics card ranging from 30 to 130 bucks. I think I'll go to some hardware tester experienced with notebooks to find out where the problem lies.
