Upgrading your laptop's graphics card
Upgrading your laptop's graphics card is no walk in the park; in fact it's something more akin to open heart surgery. But it can be done, and the rewards can be well worth the trouble and risk.
Step 2: Detach the Keyboard
Detach the keyboard by taking out the screws beneath the hinge cover that secure it, lifting it off, and then unplugging the connector. On some notebooks, simple latches allow you to remove the keyboard without unscrewing anything.
(Note: In a job like this, it's important to keep track of where each screw came from. A good way to keep things organised is to use paper cups to hold the screws — one cup for each step of disassembly — and label each cup clearly.)
