Fix/Replace gaming laptop graphics card

[cheeya]

I currently have a 3 year old Clevo P150EM that started giving me problems and I think it's the graphics card, radeon HD 7970M. A couple days ago my computer started blue screening with driver missing error so I tried to uninstall all the drivers and update them, but it ended up crashing my computer. I had to reinstall windows 7 and the graphics drivers, but now device manager says windows detects an error with the device. Is there somewhere I can get it fixed or buy a replacement? I'm looking for a relatively cheap solution that avoids getting a brand new laptop

okay is the error with the graphics card? if it is with the GPU i don't know whether its software or hardware but what i can tell you is this you cant change a graphics card on a laptop most laptops don't use a gpu they would mostly use integrated graphics for example intel hd or a amd APU so unless its a problem with the software your better off buying a new laptop or buy a cheap pc.

i would recommend this if you want an optimal gaming experience http/pcpartpicker.com/p/8fyBVn

In addition to the video, here's the service manual with disassembly and reassembly instructions.

If you're not looking to upgrade the graphics performance, you might find a replacement GPU for cheaper on ebay than at Eurocom.
