Can I replace the GPU on Satellite L300D?

Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite L300D.

From the start after about 15-20 seconds it stops not to reach any screen. I took it to a real PC repair company and after a few days that they be taught me the graphics card had packed and needed replacement for the sum of £ 70. Tell him what I kind a second opinion and spoke to a friend I.T. from my friends who said that we can not just replace the GPU as it is part of the motherboard and it would cost more than £150.

Could someone advise / tell me who is right, the laptop is about 4 years old. Any help is greatly appreciated

Thank you very much
Paul

In General, your friend IT is right. On mobile laptops graphics card is attached to the motherboard and cannot be replaced or upgraded.

In such cases service order new mainboard and replace it. Problem is that this new mainboard is quite expensive.

  • Why can we not replace the WLAN on Satellite L670 card?

    Hello

    I use a PSK3EE satellite L670-143, which comes with a default of Atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter.
    I tried to replace it with the 5 GHz Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230, who has a 2-pin connection too.
    Unfortunately, the card is correctly recognized by Windows7 but for some reason any, he gets no signal.

    Running inSSIDer, there is no unique surrounding device found, while even my own router is advertising in the 5 GHz band, and the taskbar icon, said Intel's Wifi network but it still says that Wifi is disabled.

    Trying to enable/disable wireless network connection by using the special key FN + F8 combination, I am unable to turn it on.

    Please someone has installed a third-party network adapter in a satellite? Toshiba blocks everything, but default wireless adapters? or how to operate next door only be correctly detected by Windows, but cannot turn the signal?

    Thanks for any help.

    > Why we cannot replace the NIC on Satellite L670?
    In General, hardware upgrade on laptops is very limited because of platforms of specific material used for mobile computing.

    Associated s user updates are only RAM and HARD drive. If you have any other questions on this I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can offer any kind of information about the hardware and the hardware upgrade.

  • Satellite C670d - 11 k - can I replace the CPU?

    Can I replace the CPU on my 11K satellite C670D help please

    Hello

    The chipset is AMD A50M, so you can ONLY use AMD processors that are supported by the chipset.
    But it is still open question whether the BIOS would support the new processor.

    Since updates are not official supported by any laptop manufacturer, you will not find this info anywhere...
    If these updates are at your own risk, and no one would be able to tell if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade the CPU.

    Hello

    Unfortunately you can not replace the CPU existing with a "new dual core CPU" because your system is not designed for dual-core cpu´s.
    There are many arguments why not replace the cpu, the most important argument is that the dual core cpu mechanically and electrically fit on the motherboard.

    So, if you want a faster machine then buy a new one because you won´t have additional options to update your computer.

    Sorry, but that's all :/

    See you soon

  • Possible to replace the CPU on Satellite A200 - 1 H 2?

    Can I replace my cpu (Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 H 2) by another? Because I know that some laptops can do that.

    Hi mate,

    first of all, if you want to lose your warranty, then replace it. And I could give you more than 10 arguments why not do it because if you´re not familiar with disassembly of laptops and without machine´s hardware information you cannot exchange it.

    So generally it s is NOT possible, perhaps with other brands but I think that other brands manufacturers do the same thing as toshiba and will revocate the guarantee of the machine if you open your machine and you try to modify the materials 'wired' inside your laptop.

  • Can I put the GPU or CPU on my HP G6?

    Hello!

    I'm running on 64 bit of Windows 8 and I have a HP Pavilion 2345sf g6.

    And I saw that my laptop has an AMD RADEON HD 7670 M GPUS and AMD RADEON 7640 G (this is built into the motherboard) and a CPU AMD A8 - 4500M

    and I want to upgrade the gpu because of lack of performance when I play video games.

    So I want to know if it is expandable and if this is the case, how can I change the GPU and if it could be replaced by another one much better.

    In a Word, sorry; No dice. The CPU maybe but not the GPU. You could get slightly better game with a faster processor performance, but also probably not sufficient to justify the substantial efforts and expenses. The best course of action is to sell your laptop and buy one with the video power you need. It may seem expensive to do, but it is almost always less expensive in the long term.

    No if you do not replace it you need to get an AMD... the AMDs all have the same type of socket and the Intels are completely different.

    You are confused of RAM and disk space available.

    RAM stores information temporarily while the Mac is enabled and the application is reached. RAM replacement has no effect on the long term of your information storage.

    The hard drive is where your information is stored in the long term. If you replace your hard drive, you need restore the information from a backup.

    FYI, for your iMac, the maximum RAM is only 6 GB.
