    Are you saying you have a known good video BIOS, not the laptop BIOS, for the GPU and your specific laptop?
    Does the GPU you are looking at have the same power requirements and same size/interface?
    The manufacturers make the video BIOS. You have a modded one?
    Sorry so many questions. I get the feeling you may not know what I'm trying to say.

    I'm to merely wanting to remove the hardware and replace with new, the easiest way possiable.

    I can do bios updates but I'm a little unsure on certain parts when it comes to gpu.

    What this is best hardware for an upgrade ?
