As a rule, the replacement of a video card in a laptop occurs for two reasons: there is not enough power of the old video card or the video card does not work at all. In any case, you can contact the service center, where they will change everything quickly and inexpensively. But if you want to replace the graphics card in your laptop yourself, then you should read this article.
Instructions
Step 1
To remove the video card, first of all, detach the cooling system, which is fixed at the top. To do this, you need to unscrew the three screws that secure the fan. Next, disconnect the power connector of this fan.
Step 2
After that, remove the eight spring-loaded screws that secure the thermal cushions over the processor and graphics card. Be very careful and careful when performing this item. There is not a small chance of damage to the graphics chip or the processor die.
Step 3
The malfunction can cause a large amount of dust in the radiator, which is located behind the fan. This is especially true when animals with long hair live in the house. Therefore, after removing the radiator, it is recommended to blow the radiator fins with air under pressure.
Step 4
Finally, unscrew the two screws that secure the MXM board.
Step 5
Before installing a new video card, it is necessary to remove the heat-conducting casing from the old one and install it in the appropriate place in the laptop. This must be done in such a way that the memory chips line up with the thermal pads on the casing.
Step 6
Remove the old heat transfer paste as carefully as possible. Then apply a thin layer of a new one. When applying a new layer, keep in mind that the paste must cover the entire surface evenly.
Step 7
Now install the heatpipes, also using the utmost care, and reverse the screws and install the fan.
