Product: HP HDX 18T 1200 CTO
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Where is the NVIDIA GeForce 130m GPU located in this device?  Can it be replaced with the exact same GPU?  HP Parts Manual does not show it.

 

The laptop has frequent power outages, which go away when I disable the NVIDIA device drivers OR when I go into W7 Safe Mode.  It also will not charge its battery, but I have already replaced its internal power connector .... so I am now trying to  replace the graphics module.   Thanks!

Not replaceable. It is a chip soldered on the motherboard.
