Truth or lie (Category: Hardware)?
I have a question and the statement the dear sir said is correct. It is about my notebook showing no picture, and now I wanted to know whether I can also change the plug-in graphics card or the soldered graphics chip by Change the whole mainboard because the chip is soldered to the mainboard to get a picture again
I don't know what you want to say, but if you don't tell us the model, you can't say it with a high probability.
That would be a huge effort to expand the CPU (in the case of an integrated one) or the GPU on a current laptop, as it is usually permanently installed.
Usually only buying the same mainboard and replacing it completely helps.
(That usually costs as much as the laptop itself, because the mainboard naturally has all the main components and you have to put in additional work to replace it.
In some cases the GPU can be exchanged separately, of course only the GPU would have to be exchanged.
Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mention it. I have an Acer Aspire 8730G
Ok, I have an Acer Aspire 8730G and since my notebook is around 10 years old, the graphics card is built into the mainboard with a slot, which is why I can easily pull the graphics card off. Does that mean that I can easily remove the graphics card that if I changed the old graphics card to a new one, I would get another picture?
Then it is probably a GPU with a PCI connection
Back then, laptops were built that way.
But since this is so old, you will probably not find the same GPU again and another one will fit / probably not work that easily (especially be careful with power consumption)
There are actually plugged in graphics cards, no chip on the mainboard.
Graphics cards can be plugged in or soldered, especially with laptops they are often soldered. In terms of performance and function, it makes no difference whether it is plugged in or soldered, the difference is that a soldered GPU can't be exchanged so easily.
As I have already explained, however, you can also build smaller graphics chips into processors, but these are often not very powerful (but are sufficient for normal Internet and office use), so you have to be precise whether you are using one integrated GPU in the processor, or a dedicated graphics card that was soldered, that makes a difference.
From what I found in a quick search, the graphics card you have is definitely available as a plug-in card. Therefore, you or the person who is supposed to repair it must check whether the graphics card is soldered or plugged in, both are possible. In almost all current laptops, GPUs are principally soldered, so I would be careful that there's no miscommunication here, and that it is not assumed here without checking that the GPU is soldered.
Yes, there are the same graphics cards on ebay, and let's say I would buy a suitable graphics card for my laptop, I would get a picture again after switching
So, that means after changing the graphics card I would get another picture?
No idea can't say what else can be defective I can't say flat rate of course the possibility is that it is the graphics card.
Maybe it would work, yes
Maybe more is broken e.g. CPU
So that you might have a closer look, I have an Acer Aspire 8730G and my mainboard has a graphics card slot where the graphics card is inside, which is why the graphics card can be easily removed. This is probably because my laptop is no longer up to date Heard, since my laptop is 10 years old, if I would replace the graphics card with a new graphics card, would I get the picture again?
So I suspect that it is the graphics card, because the laptop screen is not broken, as no picture is shown on an external monitor, neither is the BIOS battery, because I have already changed it, so I think that it's on the graphics card and I don't want to pay 50 euro just to diagnose a problem
