    My laptop is getting it's motherboard replaced and it has an integrated video card on it.

    When the repair depot replaces it, do they put in a new video card or are they able just to use the old one and place it on the new mobo?

    Integrated means integrated. It cannot be removed, you will be getting a new video card with the new motherboard, just like every other chip soldered to the board.
