Yeah I am going to guess your laptop has failed and somebody told you it is the GPU and you are thinking I will just replace it so you are asking where can I get one? If only it were that simple. The GPU is soldered onto the motherboard. Your model was part of the most epic laptop failure ever involving nVIdia video chips soldered badly to the motherboards. There is no long-term fix. There are shops that will perform temporary repairs that will make the laptop work for a while but the whole design concept is defective. It's a 10 year old laptop. It is time to move on and buy a new one.

Yes, it's old. I just need my files that I saved on it.

Is there any way to retrieve them?

Thank you.

Yeah just pull the hard drive out. Use a SATA to USB adapter and make the hard drive into an external disk and copy and paste the files you want onto another computer by attaching thoriugh its usb port. 

Hard drive is inside a rectangular lid on the bottom. There is a plastic piece on the end of the hard drive you have to remove and then get one of these.
