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 3: Remove the Display Assembly
Remove the display assembly — the entire apparatus of the screen — by removing the screws on the bottom and back of the portable, and unplugging the video and Wi-Fi antenna cables (pictured).
Next, take out the optical drive; this usually means depressing the latch on the bottom of the laptop and sliding the drive out sideways.
