PART 2: www.youtube.com Pictures of me taking it apart: www.flickr.com This video will show you in great detail how to remove your graphics card in your laptop or notebook. This process is hard, but I will show you how to do it without damaging or hurting your laptop. This is **PROOF OF CONCEPT** This method will not work with every laptop as each is designed and configured differently. PC Details: Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop Windows Vista: Home Edition (SP1) Note: I have Virtual PC which allows me to run multiple OS’s at one time. (Vista Business & XP & Linux) However, I use Vista: Home Edition as my main OS. 1GB memory (Will upgrade later) 74GB hard drive (I have an external HDD) Intel Core Duo CPU T2250 @ 1.73 GHz Each ATI X1400 Mobility Radeon Graphics Card

@bazel1132 Then how are did you type that comment?
@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
i want to upgrade my msi a4000… but idk if this or upgrading my cpu will work… kinda scared to do it…
@sparky9171 its not that simple. it needs to have space for the cooling system.
@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 ><
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
Don’t worry it’s a DELL!!
lol
Just get a Computer
if i tried this it would end up being thrown against the wall
some tell me if this worked

Could I upgrade my gt540m to a gt560m? On my acer aspire 4755G 2011 model?
…You’ve pretty much got to disembowel your entire laptop just to add a graphics card? Wow that’s gay.
what if my laptop is a toshiba mini? will it hold a recent graphics card like the new nvidias?
@bazel1132 obviously it will crash if u take out the video card…
@Mugzy619 and now i present a retard aha I have a acer aspire core i3 from wal mart like i could afford a mac
@Mugzy619 You’re a retard.
@Mugzy619 You are an idiot.
@wilson0kid0inc and now ladies and gentlemen i present to you a fine example of the intelligence of a mac user
@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.) ?
@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.
