    I think your notebook has integrated graphics, which means to fix it, you will have to replace the whole motherboard. Often that is more than 50 % of the value of the notebook, and in most cases it is better to buy a new notebook. You may, however, be able to find a used or second hand motherbaord on ebay or online, and replace that way.
