    I have an ECS (Elite Group Services) laptop G610P which has a:
    256MB ATI M56P Graphics Card
    My laptop is just out of warranty with the manufacturer and my graphics card has failed. Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these cards or if another card will work in the machine?

    You cannot replace the GPU in your laptop. You will have to get a new laptop if your GPU is dead.

    The GPU is a replaceable card it can be swapped out like RAM.
