Hi:

 

The graphics adapter is an integral part of the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced.

 

The only way to upgrade the graphics would be to replace the motherboard with one listed in your notebook's service manual that may come with better graphics.

 

This normally also requires you to buy a new heatsink as well.

 

It would be very difficult to find the motherboard part you need.
