Hi samuniv,

As you can read in 100 other threads, it of not possible to replace the graphics card because it s fixed/soldered to the motherboard. Therefore, an Exchange is not possible.
You should also check out this interesting article:

According to the specifications of your laptop is equipped with an Intel GMA 4500 graphics card. The card is good for the office and Windows but it s not a graphics card for new 3D games. You can play older games on the low resolution of the screen, but newer games will not run.

  • You can replace the graphics card on an Acer Aspire 5920?

    If so what card would be compatible? I currently have an Intel GM965 Express Chipset, and unfortunately Intel stopped supporting this video card in 2009. I am running windows XP Professional service pack 3

    My computer lists the specifications as:

    Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU
    T5450 @1. 66 GHz
    1.67 GHz, 2.99 GB RAM

  • Satellite P100-240: is it possible to replace the graphics card

    Okay, im fairly new to laptops, I had my P100-240 for just under a year.
    I set up with it for long enough, its been really good to me.
    The problem that has really started to check me is the graphics card, Nvidia Go 7600, it slow, Nvidia do not support updated drivers (laim).

    A lot of my games have problems with this graphics card.
    I'm looking at open aperture of my little baby and I hope just place in a compatible graphics card.

    I'm looking to replace the Go 7600 with an alternative of ATI, a list of possible cards that will fit, where I can get my hands on one of these maps and prices if possible fuck. I won't pay too much money if it's not going to be worth.

    Thanks for reading, hope to get answers soon.

    Hmm if he s really a graphics card problem then that would mean that a whole motherboard must be replaced.
    The point is that the graphics chips more be removable, but the chips are special modules that can be purchased separately

    In any case, you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner) in order to obtain more details, perhaps that the chip graphic is ok and other malfunctions of the party that knows the technician could run tests and could tell exactly which part is dead
