Introduction

When replacing the USB port board, is is important to be delicate with taking the old hardware out as well as putting the new in. The USB port board is connected to the motherboard which is also home to all the other components in the computer. Breaking this will complicate the repair so it is important to take it slow and be gentle.

Hi Dylan. I inherited an older G751JL-BSI7T28 Asus gaming laptop. Do you know if the internal graphics card was able to be replaced by anything other than the 2GB Geforce that is in it? I hate top put money in an older laptop but other than it doesnt have USB C or USB 3.1, it really isn’t that bad of a laptop for its age.

The laptop is very formidable for it’s age but unfortunately the laptop’s GPU is integrated into the motherboard, so it cannot be swapped out. Hope this helps!
