How to remove and install a laptop graphics card. (Part 1)

[motherflange]

I was watching this on my laptop as I dissected it. Never did get to the end.

[XxTRISTINBEARxX]

how do find out if a laptop is powerful enough to run a game, mostly minecraft?

[DTNaquapolis]

"I dont know what it is, but I know how to remove it" xD

[KawaiiPandah0]

Does this work for Compaq 610??  I JUST WANNA PLAY MINECRAFT!!!!

[Erkekjetter616]

Does anyone know if an Alienware m11x has a replaceable graphics card and is it possible to increase the RAM? My guess is yes because it's a gaming PC, so it would seem that you should be able to. But I would like to make sure before I buy the upgrades and start taking it apart.

[Jacvinc1]

@Erkekjetter616 I wouldnt be too sure man. I also have an m11x but everythings integrated, meaning the parts are specially made. I would suggest getting a PC and upgrading THAT instead of probably breaking your laptop for nothing lol.

[GammingXPro]

is this layout for most laptops?

[TheZiglee]

will this work with a samsung rv511? :)

[Silvers1188]

Gah, WTF? Can't they just have a little slot that makes switching the graphics card out easy like the hard drive. Why do they have to hide it under everything?

[FLIGHTANIMATOR]

Where do you even buy Laptop GPU's ?

[Salawzar]

@FLIGHTANIMATOR In every store that I have been in that sold GPUs there were no GPUs for laptops. Your best bet is to buy them from a website online.

[y11116]

HOLY CRAP MY LAPTOP IS THE SAME AS HIS

[KillfeedOMG]

i want to upgrade my msi a4000... but idk if this or upgrading my cpu will work... kinda scared to do it...

[sudarsan7532]

why do you have to take out the hard drive and optical drive to install a new video card. that does not make any sense... WTF

[Legion2818]

Don't worry it's a DELL!!

lol :)

[JoKeR989able]

Just get a Computer

[flyingcumshot]

if i tried this it would end up being thrown against the wall

[7and7PC]

some tell me if this worked

[kawaqHD]

works on alienware? i have the m17x it is really good but i want it to be like o.o

[StroggWarrior]

@kawaqHD Why the hell would you want to upgrade that again? It's already good as it is, it's a waste of time trying to upgrade it again, rather buy a desktop ><

[1998wii]

thx

[WarpsrMC]

Could I upgrade my gt540m to a gt560m? On my acer aspire 4755G 2011 model?

[Cruisey1234]

...You've pretty much got to disembowel your entire laptop just to add a graphics card? Wow that's gay.

[9981679]

what if my laptop is a toshiba mini? will it hold a recent graphics card like the new nvidias?

[Mugzy619]

WTH thats not even a laptop

[wilson0kid0inc]

@Mugzy619 how??

[Mugzy619]

@wilson0kid0inc Thats a mac.

[wilson0kid0inc]

@Mugzy619 Its a dell inspiron with a sticker........ lock at the "laptop" and read

even if it was a real mac whats ur point its still a laptop LMAO

[Mugzy619]

@wilson0kid0inc macs are not laptops, and even though its a sticker it probably still cost about a thousand dollars more than it was worth because it was made by apple.

[wilson0kid0inc]

@Mugzy619 how are macs not a laptop? Its a portable computer wich is a laptop and what was made by apple ( i know mac's are.) ?

[Mugzy619]

@wilson0kid0inc and now ladies and gentlemen i present to you a fine example of the intelligence of a mac user

[SaintRifle]

@Mugzy619 You are an idiot.

[Quocipher]

@Mugzy619 You're a retard.

[wilson0kid0inc]

@Mugzy619 and now i present a retard aha I have a acer aspire core i3 from wal mart like i could afford a mac

[IntensegamePlayR]

Where do u buy laptop graphics cards. I want to buy a gtx 580m so i can install it into my alienware and run it (and the one already in it) in SLI.

[mkillo2011]

nice apple insperon

[punch3322]

what if i have a MSI Laptop with a ATI Radeon HD4330?

[thock321]

if your laptop has an integrated gfx card like an intel one etc. then you can't do this.

[rEsonansDx]

Faster way. Just smash your laptop into pieces then buy a new one, :D or you can just sell the first.

[rEsonansDx]

Warning: not all laptops has graphics cards that can be replaced

[rooo1o]

Have it done by someone in a store...Honestly, if you need to look up videocard replacement videos for any other purpose than mere education, don't do it yourself. Especially with laptops.

[aMegaMaxProductions]

are you sure?

[PS3roxMYsox]

stick your flathead into the crevice xD

[CODkid422]

@TheLevel50Noobs I agree

[TheLevel50Noobs]

Basically destroy your laptop...

[killerZ4453]

soo if i brought it from a store and didnt make it.... i cant replace???

[TerrariaCraft1]

How to fuck am I supposed to do this while my laptop has no battery, no hard drive, and no optical card in it?

[TechnicallyNotGuilty]

@TerrariaCraft1 so your laptop is a toaster?

[johnsnake71]

Yuuup, not doing it, to much work and lots of risks.

[lukas918273642]

never

[hamoudeish]

wtf this laptop has no ram

[JackXBL]

can you do this with a chipset graphics card?

[montergennivilla]

ppl where is the graphics card slot in hp computers?

[KashgroundTM]

how about buy a fucking external graphics card?

[blazeXL227]

@KashgroundTM If you want to get an external graphics card, then get one. If not, why the fuck are you even here?

[KashgroundTM]

@blazeXL227 to inform other people its possible to use a different graphics card other than the laptop's.because there was some type of rumor saying you cannot switch out your laptops cards and that it only works on Desktops.Which is false

[epiczalad]

i have that laptop :D

[laptopcorei7]

Thank for you tip

[mariobros616]

I hope the top two comments are jokes...

[HypnoticVEVO]

@mariobros616 I know right :L



[monster3754]

so an you change an intergreated video card

[shreeshaipod]

@monster3754 nope, unfortunately integrated chips are much smaller than dedicated graphics cards, and integrated chips are usually either on the motherboard or a part of the cpu so unleass u get an external graphics card you wont be able to replace...

[monster3754]

@shreeshaipod oh sorry my laptop has a Radeon HD 6470M dedicated card so i can switcch it then :/ ?

[sonikid949494]

Sure a Desktop is the best for gaming, but what if you want to play a game and your laptop can't handle it cause of the Video Card? I would want to replace it so I can play any game I want. Like for a business trip I'm not going to take my Desktop so I;ll take my laptop. So I think its worth going through the trouble of replacing anything in a Laptop so I can Imporve something to make it run faster.

[BAdGramM3r]

Hey All, just a quick question. i was just wondering if i will be able to replace my integrated graphics card on an HP G62 Pavilion notebook

[graffsk8er]

are all laptops the same? it doesnt matters if its an Apple or a PC!?

[Downney17]

i did it without even looking at this video..

[TheJoystick14]

HI i have an acer aspire 5742 with an Nvidia GT540M

can you help my to find the best card i could put i ,y laptop pls

Thanks

[sparky9171]

Why can't there just be a simple slot to put the graphics card in...

[SaiF290]

@sparky9171 I know right? Why does everything have to be so hard!?

[DoNotLaughAtMe]

@sparky9171 that's why you get a desktop instead -_-

[xResTriicTedx]

@sparky9171 exactly what i thought haha

[ICanHasSmash]

@sparky9171 its not that simple. it needs to have space for the cooling system.

[XibitJK2]

@sparky9171 Its called life, everything can't be simple. Doing the not so simple things in life makes you better. Quit your bitching, do a some research (this may require you to work) , do it (again, more work), trail and error (work?), finally done right (less work), feeling of accomplishment arrives (even less work), job well done (sleep?). "Cool story bro" lol

[GodsNotReal95]

@XibitJK2 holy shit??? he was just kidding he wasnt actually mad... trial*

[Djhohotv2]

@XibitJK2 calm your ass down bitch he was kidding.

[MrThegoldenballs]

@sparky9171 because it would be to easy, and doing it this way we have a way of breaking the computer and then we would have to buy a new one and the store you bought it from would get more money.

[KerWinklee]

This looks so complicated. I'm gonna ask someone to do this for me

[SaiF290]

Can anyone PLEASE tell me if it's possible to get a new graphics card working on my Gateway NV52 series. It's Windows 7 64-bit. Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 3200. Thank you!

[blafang5111]

@SaiF290 You can, I would get a tutorial, its tough i have done it before, if you need any help on the way PM me, You need to Push the Graphics Card in there, And make sure you size it up before you buy it, you may need to return, IF you need any help PM me i can be a help, i work on computers, I hope this helped

[SaiF290]

@blafang5111 No, after doing almost 4-6 hours of research, I figured out that my Gateway has an integrated chip which is impossible to replace. I was thinking about buying a gaming PC after figuring out this, but I'm only 15 and my parents might not let me, so for now I'll stick to playing on console but thank's for your help :)!

[MrJimHefferon]

@SaiF290 possible; YES practical; NO

[FireDXfox99]

i would do that guys it could damage your computer :(

[TheMrbean97]

my laptop cant upgrade grapics card...its crap...i use shitty intel gma...i cant upgrade to ATI...

[bazel1132]

i tried to follow his instructions but my computer crashed after I took out the video card

[hhmha1997]

@bazel1132 obviously it will crash if u take out the video card...

[TawpDog]

@bazel1132 Then how are did you type that comment? :o

[SkyrimEs5]

WHY IS EVERY VIDEO I SEE ON YOUTUBE HAS A BF3 TRAILER. WE GET IT EA UR GAME IS AWESOME

[ooglywooglygamer101]

does this work for all laptops i need to know before christmas im going to get a gt 430 for xmas so someone please reply thx!

[Sulik213]

@ooglywooglygamer101 no you cant put any other graphics card on your laptop like you can on desktops but you can replace the laptop's graphic card with the exact same one you have if your graphics card is failing or damaged

[ooglywooglygamer101]

@Sulik213 yea but there are graphics cards made for laptops i looked em up at nvidia's website

[jacksNpwns]

hey im using that same model right now

[LiberatedMind1]

lost interest at 3 and a half. Could've also named this vid "why laptop gaming is retarded".

[pikefan23]

this is why i dont like laptops!

[zombinic]

or i can bring my laptop to dell -.-

[sadiqsandya]

This Inspiron inspired me to break my laptop.............lol

[MajorHackingKrew]

"I don't know what it is... But i know how to remove it" Nice. haha.

[BakugoV8]

I think you forgot to say that every single laptop model is different.

[PinoyPogiman]

ekk.. old PC's had it so HDD's were detachable.

new ones are now internally kept inside

[jpmac098]

@PinoyPogiman Usually it's pointless to have a computer without a harddrive...

[PinoyPogiman]

@jpmac098 in the future maybe, Laptops would be Flash based.

but memory would suck alot... until they find a way to enlargen the storage space of the cards. then we'll consider

[LiberatedMind1]

@PinoyPogiman I've seen a fancy modern desktop case that allowed HDDs to be dropped in from the top, it was awesome.

[laptopservicezone]

nice video 

[arenonearer]

Nearly all questions I have about something electronic lead me eventually to your videos, which always seem to answer my questions. Please keep up the fantastic work.

[vildbasse97]

3:04 "So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take our finger"

Wait, what? How should we take our finger? Lol :D

[ianchen9449]

Apple sticker...

[TheOmgpancake]

@gameboy699 well i ordered it through my friend cuz his dad works for hp and i got the computer for 182 bucks but its noramlly like 740 bucks. its the hp probook 4320s with an i5 2410m and intel 3000 hd graphics

[TheOmgpancake]

@mrepicgamingvids so in other words i shud be fine running it on med with like no lag?

[TheOmgpancake]

@lucknotskill do you think a laptop with an i5 2410m wit intel 3000 hd graphics shud run WoW on med setting no lag?

[mrepicgamingvids]

@TheOmgpancake im on dell insparon r15 n5010 intel hd graphics card dual core 380 prossesor with 4 gb ram and the speed on my graphic card is 377mhz so thats not bad and i run on ultra with tiny amount of lag hardly ever and im veru new to wow so its impressed me with my computer workign so well on it hope this helps :D

[mrepicgamingvids]

@TheOmgpancake oh yes and im intel i3 sorry =/

[gameboy699]

@TheOmgpancake yes it will run wow fine. is this a pc you own or a pc you want to buy?

[toasterhead91]

hmm... so how do i watch this while i do it?

[RyanLeejy]

Oooooo.... New apple Inspiron

[Xiones11]

i would suggest a video card minimum of nvidia 8800 gt for a gamer. That is the new stadared for all of the "Pretty" games now adays. Skyrim, Battlefield 3, and Ac revalations are all 8800 minimum. You can run them with a 8700 but they are crazy laggy and crapy shaders.

[VoltedGaming]

fuck i didnt know you cud do this shit to a laptop

[LuckNotSkill]

10 minutes to remove all the parts, 3 hours to put it back together.

[LiberatedMind1]

@LuckNotSkill lol

[TheOmgpancake]

@chelkuhz look up the hp probook 4430s 14 inch screen thats the laptop i have and it sayz it has intel 3000 graphics and an i5 2410m. do you think i shud run WoW fine with no lag?

[LuckNotSkill]

@TheOmgpancake if ur running WoW with lag, ur computer must suck.



[kalihiNAT1V3]

can you put the graphics card into a PC?

[Chelkuhz]

@kalihiNAT1V3 lol?

[TheOmgpancake]

so i want to update my graphics card for my laptop does anyone know any good ones and also how do you know if it will fit?

sorry im not good with computers

[Chelkuhz]

@TheOmgpancake Nvidia or AMD, 2 best in my opinion

[HordecorePVP]

why can't i replace my gpu if it came with the factory standard graphics card?

[JuicyPorkChops]

i hate the frickin vitamin water ads!! "YEAH YEAH YEAH YEE-AH!!!"

[AznMilky]

Aspire 7750g will be able to be upgraded?

[sami3219]

will i be able to upgrade my samsung r519 note book its got intel 4 express chipset family

[bbrianbaileyy]

thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said thats what she said

[LOLSeeker838]

what exactly is a Factory Card? is Intel Graphic Card 1?

[SunnyProductiions]

@LOLSeeker838 the card u get origionally with your laptop

[souravsssss]

@LOLSeeker838 No, He mean to say like you got your Laptop with Pre-Installed graphic card for eg Nvdia Geforce or ATI Raedon or AMD not Intel HD Graphics it comes with the Processor

Hope it Helped for any questions reply

[LOLSeeker838]

@souravsssss So is there like a slot i can put one into? its an ASUS i dont know what model though

[souravsssss]

@LOLSeeker838 To know what Graphic card you have type this in the run "dxdiag'

If you got a AMD Turion 2 or any other AMD procceser so it comes with a amd graphic card and I am not sure that you can replace it but if it comes with intel and in dxdiag it shows Intel GMA so you can add one

Hope it was helpful and for any questions reply

[lucas77ya]

Could you show how to replace the graphics on HP ProBook 4530s XU015UT? Or anything with integrated intel hd 3000? Or is it impossible?

[simplyCrux]

could u really be botherd?

[Xvanga13]

I have a HP ProBook, can i change the video card in that laptop?

[piper4123]

So if I have a prebuilt dell, I can't replace the GPU?

[Cam5X5]

@Dijinnhydra cause everything in a laptop is integrated for everything to fit better.

[cwoodin125]

Hey, I have a question for you. How do I know if mine is replaceable? Do I have to open it up? I have an acer aspire 5742-6838.

[Djinnhydra]

Why can't it be as easy as a Desktop? :(

[AbdulmusawwirKHATRI]

I hate opening up DEsktop Pcs, but Laptops are way too much fun!

[AbdulmusawwirKHATRI]

Nice Video!



[thekaidranzer]

fuck it, the screws are WAY to tight on my laptop

[Athecubus]

That look like a painfull operation for the laptop.

[ilikepieandthings]

so, in summary, it's a bitch to do...

[Rfl4222]

@ilikepieandthings Extremely easy on a desktop

[ilikepieandthings]

@Rfl4222 much easier

[d3l0zi3r]

is this pretty much the same way to do it with a different laptop?

[OdysseyCheerBadass]

so if i bought an acer aspire 5551 from walmart does that mean it wont be removable, if i actually decided to do this at some point?

specs:

AMD Turion ii x2 P520 (2.3ghz)

4GB DDR3

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 with up to 1917MB hypermemory

320GB HDD

Blu-ray Disc Drive

15.6" HD LED LCD

not sure if all this matters as far as taking it apart goes but here it all is anyway. so would i be able to upgrade if i wanted? and if i can then what are my options?

[PhenomenalHeadShot]

@OdysseyCheerBadass im kind of confused by specs myself.. but.. from what ive learned the real issue there is the Hard drive.. which looks easy to pop out.. but hey not the most reliable source i guess..

[CaptainMetalwing]

That is the easy part. Putting it back together is the hard part.

[tickingmadness1]

so i have to do alllllllll of this just to change a graphics card -_-

[OdysseyCheerBadass]

@tickingmadness1 not if you have a desktop. and this also probably voids your warrenty and is not recommended by most computer companies on a laptop. other than that though yeahh... lotta work.

[PhenomenalHeadShot]

I have a broken version of that same computer. lol

[threathy]

So i wanna change my f*ckin graphics card to Ndvia graphics cards. Does it work??

[pakong82]

MAC INSPIRON!

[MrTupac222]

fuck I ain't do this im scared i'll fuck dup the pc

[thekaidranzer]

@MrTupac222 thats exactly what im thinking :s I have a broken comp which still works sorta so il try it on that

[juwanlive]

this guy is really good thanks man i am about to change mine so thanks for this video

[chunbro1998]

Ok, ok. I came here wondering how to change a simple graphics card...not disassemble my laptop.

[kbizz640]

And this is why I play games on consoles.

[asa89aj]

It's easy to watch, but hard to execute!

In Soviet Russia, Laptops upgrade you!

[bionicles3688]

while i was lookin at this... my sis asked me "Why the fuck is he breakin his laptop....??????????"...

[nathanjoseph10]

this isnt how to install a graphics card this is how to disect your laptop...

[SunnyProductiions]

What a retard, I wasnt who discovered this but hes useing a dell laptop with a mac sticker, so gay... He proberly deleted the other comments :(

[vegasdogg111]

7:05====That's wjat she said.

[AByrd679]

so much for upgrading my laptop

[SongoDGold]

i dont think i have hinge cover on my labtop O:

[scttsherer1217]

[ShibbySlushy]
