By: Alienware Laptop Expert Home | Computers-and-Technology | Hardware


As we all know that Alienware Gaming Laptops are the best and expensive gaming laptops along with their parts and accessories including Alienware laptop video cards, motherboards etc. As a result, Alienware laptop repair is a costly option and if you are just looking for upgrading few components then it may not cost you as dear.

Alienware laptops come with good configurations but still if you are fed up of the graphics / video card installed in it or just want to replace the troubling graphics card, there are certain points that you need to consider before you go about an Alienware laptop repair job.

Replacing or installing a graphics card in your laptop is not a very cumbersome task, just few steps and you are up with a new found brute force for your Alienware beast.

†First step is to uninstall current graphics card drivers and to do so just right click on My Computer and select Properties. Find your graphics card listed under the hardware tab. Just uninstall it from there.

†Shutdown your laptop now and locate the AGP slot. Get rid of the static charge your body might have before you start touching internal components of the machine as you might end up damaging some electronic parts. Using an antistatic strap could be a good option. To remove the old graphics card, all you need to do is to open the casing first and unscrew attached back plate.

†It would be better if you go through your new graphics card manual before you install it inside. Once you have read it all and sure about its configuration, just slide it into motherboard’s AGP slot. Make sure you have securely placed it into slot before you screw back its back plate and close the laptop casing.

†Now you can turn your laptop â€ON†to install drivers for the new graphics card. If Windows does not detect the new hardware installed then just click Settings from the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click Add Hardware and you can install drivers through easy to follow steps. Once you have installed drivers you are finished with your Alienware laptop repair. Just restart your Alienware laptop and experience the change.
