laptop graphics chips (it's actually a soldered-on chip, not a card) cannot be upgraded. If they fail they can be repaired or replaced but only by using specialist equipment which means sending it to a laptop repair technician.

Upgrading a laptop's internals is generally limited to installing more RAM or fitting a larger capacity hard disk, as both these items are accessible by removing a cover on the underside. That's why choosing the correct laptop for your needs is even more important than choosing a desktop PC which usually offers far more scope for upgrading.
