i just have one small thing to say; when you are taking the laptop apart your hands are in the way of the camera just a little to much. i also have a question what video card was in the laptop and what card did you replace it with?

What about an LG Laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate edition and Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.10 GHz. processor speed I have an old nvidia video card which I want to change to a newer one. Is it possible?
i got asus a42jr will this work on newer games?
@TheEsaful my laptop processor is intel core2duo T6400 running at 2.00ghz.i’m running windows vista home premium 32bit on my laptop…
@TheEsaful
i think this is old, but now all laptops are coming with builtin video cards, i bought new dell laptop, the problem is came with didgated video card 64MB, how can i increase the video card
@MrChezco1995 Your video card is just fine. I think your problem is slow processor (something like 2,2GHz).
You need to buy desktop, if you wanna play the newest games.
@TheCrimsonScorpion dont think so, a motherboard and a graphic card is not worth more than = a motherboard, a graphic card, built in speaker, webcam, cable ports, hard drive and so on. beside that, if you want the same appearance of the laptop, i mean why not just change the motherboard and order the latest laptop graphic card from the internet
@inseack
I asked the experts at PC world, They said if you had a intergrated chipset its impossible to change your graphics card, You would have to get a whole new motherboard and it would end up costing more than a new laptop, So get a new laptop…

@yiyas444 ATI & Nvidias in Laptops are very common these days, lol. My MacBook has an Nvidia 320M and my Windows laptop has a ATI Radeon HD 4330 so, no, you’re wrong. My mac runs EVE-Online, CS:S Etc etc on Max Settings and my Windows laptop even runs CoD MW2 on Med/High without any problem and they were 800, 1300 U.S Dollar
@LuniaVideo
Unfortunatelly, far less than a half. Integrated graphics (like all previous Intel’s up to GMA4500, SiS Mirage, Via Chrome, slowest ATI/nVidia) can’t be replaced nor upgraded, because they are integrated in the chipset chip. Newer Intel’s CPUs have additional GPU – upgrading CPU means also upgrading GPU. Many of separate graphics chip are still soldered to Motherboard – sometimes its barely possible to replace it with better, but with lot of cash in a service and poor warranty.
You cant buy laptop graphics cards unless youmget them on ebay. Most
@yiyas444 nVidia and ati both make laptop specific cards
@kyron1998 normally good video cards like Nvidia or ATI are WAY too big for a laptop so better luck with ur big computer
@BBrtqB gotta start somewhere:P..things,most PC stuff I have learned I have learned out of necessity(gotta change X object cause Y is crap and wont play game A e.g) from trying..and failing miserabely then doing it again
Right now im trying to figure out my way around insisde a laptop.its a bit different then a desktop tower:P
@KINGKENNYTHEHOLY haha ya im too stupid to figure that out……
@LuniaVideo possible with most laptops of normal size..the smaller ones im not so sure about..
@BBrtqB cause its 1.way too big 2.require different sockets(PCIe etc)
im sorry, but that was too fast for me to trust…
Is this possible with every laptop or just a select few?
can i do this for my acer aspire 5542 laptop? and will any graphics card fit?! i need to know ASAP PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE!
