Hi,

 

 

You cannot upgrade graphics chip in your laptop. It is soldered on to the motherboard.

 

Manual - Page 25-26

All integrated (dedicated) or shared graphics can be repaired with the reballing method, but the problem that leads to hundreds of welded connections to the motherboard and to the motherboard fails again, just like a new graphic replacement, but it is not recommended.
