I need a motherboard for my laptop as mine was fried. It will not power up and I took it to an electronics shop and he verified that it was my motherboard. Now I’m searching ebay and a few say they have known video card problems…couldn’t I just use my video card onto that motherboard? Or is it integrated? laptop is an emachines m6810. -Ryan ---

Usually it’s soldered onto the board on most laptops. If it was video usually it would still power on and give you either: A. POST codes (beeping) B. Flashing lights ---

all laptops are different… i know some series of dells you can replace the video card… but most are integrated… i would probably still be cheaper to get a mobo off ebay and replace it… providing you can do it yourself, you have the day to fuck around with it… and you are organized… it can be a TON of fucking screws which i’m confident they throw a few extra inside the case, so when you put it back together you are still like WTF, where do these go… i still dont know where 2 screws go… mother fuckers ---

a computer isn’t really that important to me, but this pos tower pc i’m using now suuuucks. so i’d like to get this fixed. i can get the mobo for $250 on ebay, and swap it myself. just curious if the video card is integrated or not. ---

please realize a laptop mobo swap isn’t something you do in 20 min… this could be a day project, maybe with frustration and beer involved… and it depends on the laptop if its integrated… just assume it is
