Do you have to get a special kind of Video Card for Laptops?

I have a laptop and it has a bad video card so I was wondering if you have to get a special kind of Video Card for a Laptop?|||You can't swap out the graphics card in a laptop- they're often soldered down to the motherboard, and when they aren't, it's difficult to replace unless you have the exact same model card (sizes and electrical pinouts are not standard)



Your best bet is to have the original manufacturer replace it if you're still under warranty. Otherwise, your laptop is dead.|||While it is possible to upgrade a laptop video card it is not an easy thing to accomplish. I would recommend not even attempting to upgrade it. I would just buy a new laptop. If you really want to though this site should help.

It IS possible to change them out.



Instead of attempting it yourself. I would recommend going to best buy, and consulting them. Pick one out, and allow them to keep your laptop and change it. If there's a real easy way to switch out or upgrade, you might ask them about it and do that instead.
