Wait, is the graphics card literally missing from your computer? Or is it just not showing up?

i had the same problem with my gt 525m on my inspiron n5110
yes the gpu on a laptop is integrated on the motherboard
i had to get my mobo replaced
but thankfully my laptop was within the warranty period
the only option is get professional help
you cant do anything about it on your own

I agree, the graphics card is most probably fried or has just broke. Maybe try contacting Dell.

Are you sure someone didn't open the case and removed the GPU? I am pretty sure it won't go missing just like that, otherwise, there's also the possibility it is not working. It has no legs, I doubt it can go away by itself.

The gpu is integrated on the motherboard,so you cant remove it like that. A pro and con at the same time.

let me tell you one more time
and please let it be the last time
it is not possible to remove a laptop gpu since it is integrated on the motherboard
the gpu has probably stopped working
i can tell you this because the exact same thing has happened to me
the one and only option you have is contacting dell and seeking professional help
yes you might have to change your mobo
and yes that is going to cost you some money if you want to get your gpu running again

That's weird because newer generation Intel processors have Intel graphics built it. AMD also has ATI GPU integrated to their processors. I have a Dell Alienware 18 that has SLI graphics. Nvidia supplied a application where I can turn the SLI cards off and only use the integrated Intel GPU. In fact I have to turn SLI off to be able to direct video to a TV using HDMI.


Another thing is you can shop around for the motherboard (on the internet to get a better price then Dell) and take it to a repair store and they will charge you only labor to install the mobo.

There's 2 types of quality items with laptops. 1 Does the company have a quality product. 2. Does the company have quality after purchase support after a product failure.

Basically if you get a quality product that never breaks you don't get to see the second part.
