Can you change a laptop video card/graphic card?

I looked in a shop and they said "a laptop graphic card can not be changed."

Can a laptop graphic card be changed??
(Nvidia geforce go 6150)

Please help


With many thanks,

Unless the laptop has onboard graphics, there is no reason why the card can't be changed.

Of course, I am not very knowledgeable with GFX cards, so I can't necessarily tell whether is has onboard graphics or not.

I believe the GFX is integrated into the motherboard so without changing the mohterboard I don't think so. Fabe

I've had a look at the service manual for your laptop, and it would appear that the graphics is integrated on the motherboard so as a consequence it cannot be upgraded.
