the graphics card on my hp dz 7000 laptop has gone faulty ie vertical lines on the monitor..can i use a portable usb graphics card unit instead of stripping it down.....
If it's not a virus, then you can't replace the integrated video "card" as it's part of the main board.
If it's a hardware failure of the video "card" component, you have 2 choices:
An external USP video adaptor that you where thinking about, or replacing the laptop.
