Hey guys.

I'm looking to replace a broken GPU on my laptop.

The laptop is an MSI GT70 0ND-444US
Here is a link to the official website with its specs.

I have been looking for possible replacements for the GTX 675m GPU that is on it but I am not sure if I can replace it in the first place.

Secondly, I would like to know if I can buy replacements off of Ebay because that is the only place I can find a replacement for it. I am not sure which card would work because they don't say specifically that it is a replacement for my laptop. I see a lot of cards available that say it was for Alienware laptops but I was thinking that it could possibly work for my laptop as well.

I would like to know if I can do a GPU replacement as well as where I can find one for a good price if anything.

Thank you in advanced for your help!

You may be fortunate, I believe that you can actually swap out the GPU on the laptop, though I'm not 100% certain. If so, you're in a lucky few; there are far more laptops that can't have the GPU replaced (without an entirely new motherboard that is) than can.
