Since it's a laptop I'd say the OP is almost certainly using a USB DVB/Analog tuner dongle, and it's doubtful he will have needed to have rummaged around inside the machine... but that the problem he's posting about is the graphics adapter, and it's pretty certain that's a non-upgradeable component...  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom built machine
